Royals > your shitty dogshit excuse for a team

[Cyder]

You know better than this, Cyder.

I do?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I do?

Well, probably not. I didn't either.

These are guys from some other failed site like FN and sometimes their gig is to say really stupid shit just to get people to respond to it.

Conversely, we from FN would wait for folks to come around and say really stupid shit so that we could respond to them.

It's been my experience that they don't believe the stupid shit they say. Usually, anyway.

Not sure what FN is, but I'm not from there

 

[black francis]

Five-game suspension for Kelvin Herrera, fine for Yordano Ventura.

Nothing for Lawrie, who initiated it, and nothing for Kazmir who re-instigated it the next day

I'm aware of that. Cyder and I are from FanNation.

It's racism, plain and simple.

It's not understanding / caring about all of the facts

How many games would Herrera have gotten if he had actually hit Lawrie? 80?

 

[black francis]

one player was hurt in the whole incident and he plays for the only team that had ejections, suspensions and fines

Why do you think the commissioner's office does not care about all the facts? Because they didn't interpret them the same way Royals fans have?

Admittedly, I did not see a lot of the altercations, but I find it hard to believe that MLB metered out punishment to only one team if they didn't review the details carefully.

It also seems to me that on this and other sports sites as well as other media, most people outside of Kansas City think that the Royals were the ones in the wrong.

As I said, I don't know enough about the skirmish to form my own opinion, but on the other hand, I don't think there is a national conspiracy against the Royals.

 

[cerealboi]

I hardly thinks that has any bearing on your lack of logic. But, I'm Justin Cyder...How the hell are ya?

Do you have a brother named Dixon?

Both teams were wrong. Umps definitely didnt handle it right. Lawrie started it with his slide Friday night, knocking out Escobar for the rest of the series. Look at the slide and it's questionable at best. Maybe not dirty, but reckless.

Ventura took care of it Saturday night by hitting Lawrie, and was promptly ejected with no warnings.

Kazmir starts the game by hitting Cain. Umps decided it was accidental, yet still get warnings to both teams. While Cain is on the ground, Kazmir walks to the plate while staring at Cain, so he can "get the ball from the catcher". If you think it's an accident, why give warnings? If KC retaliates, then issue warnings. Then Yost and Eiland get booted after coming out onto the field despite the umpire telling them not to. Yost wanted to discuss it, ump said "fuck no,stay there."

Later in the game, Herrera throws inside to Lawrie, then behind him on the next pitch. then points He is ejected.

Oakland vows revenge in Oakland.

 

[black francis]

Herrera deserved his suspension.

Oakland should have had some kind of discipline.

This may sound crazy, but I don't think the Giants winnings 3 of 5 World Series makes the Giants look any better. I don't think they were the best team in MLB -- or even the NL -- in any of their championship seasons.

It's fucking awesome what they did, and as an Indians fan, I'm jealous as fuck, but I do think they just got shit hot at the right times.

Getting hot at the right time is what it is all about. You need to be good to make the playoffs. Then you need to be good and lucky to win it all. The best team is the team playing the best in October.

Lawrie's slide was dirty. No doubt about it. It should have been over when Jordanna plunked him the next day. Hitting Cain on the foot with a slow curveball HARDLY should have reignited it again. Has Herrera been suspended yet? I'm guessing 8-10 games for him.

Hi chappee.

Do you have a brother named Dixon?

He and Dustin are my twin cousins
