  4. Sure wish we could’ve given that fucker Clevinger an L but

    HOLY SHIT WHAT A WAY TO WINNNNN

  21. Bally fucked me out of seeing Freddy’s bunt. They went to commercial and never came back to the game. Instead I saw some shitty sports talkshow. Fuck that company, holy shit.

  22. Nice win. Ballsy call on the safety squeeze with Lopez throwing that hard. Great execution.

  24. Somewhere Ned Yost is hitting the dirtiest griddy. That bunt was beautiful!

  27. FREDWARD GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING FERMIN WITH A WALK OFF BUNT!!!!!

    I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

    FUCK THE WHITE SUX

  30. That bunt was a thing of beauty. I can hear the distant cheers of “Yosted” on the wind.

    It’s “Singer” today b/c he had exactly 1 ER but he was pretty clean otherwise.

    Get fucked ChiSox.

  31. Wins over the White Sox just hit different. Especially when it’s the third one in four days

  32. Was driving home thinking “boy I really hope they held on to this one”. Now I’m home thinking “how the fuck did I miss a friggin WALK OFF BUNT?!?” Singer looked pretty good today, and always a good time when you take 3 of 4 from the white Sox!

  33. Did they have the kids stay through the rain delay? The audio on all of the videos sounds off. Sounds like a lot of people where there.

  35. I was driving through the mountains and listening as much as I could, and of course as soon as Garcia struck out I lost service and thought all was lost but boy am I happy to be wrong

  38. Gonna be honest, I just watched the highlight vid of that bunt and started clapping. That’s some classic royals baseball right there.
