Kansas City Royals: CROWN TOWN - Page 150 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Really impressed with Bonifacio. I was skeptical of him last year since he was kind of a fatass, but this year he looks 100% better in terms of 1) fitness 2) defense 3) offense. He might be the best player on the team even before the trades.

He's not eligible for the playoffs this year, so he's probably not getting traded either.

How long will you be here and where are you staying?

What kind of recommendations are you looking for? Food, things to do?

Just the afternoon/night then going to rural Kansas. Effectively landing, checking in to hotel, hoping for some good BBQ and then the ball game.

LC's BBQ is relatively close to the stadium and that's my favorite BBQ in town.

There are lots of good places, but depending on where you are staying, they might not be practical.

I'm a Q39 guy myself when it comes to BBQ in KC. Fantastic restaurant.

Both are really good - kinda depends on timing with the game. I wouldn't worry much about getting to Kaufman - just let google maps figure it out.

Drive. Buses suck and good luck getting an uber to pick you up after the game. Public transportation is absolutely terrible out there. Chiefs games have dedicated buses but the Royals really don't have that. They pretty much encourage 10k+ people to drive home drunk.

I'm checking with chiefsplanet about the Uber/bus situation. Maybe my friends are just idiots who like to drive drunk.

FWIW Chiefsplanet seems to have no opinion. They know what all the individual words mean in the sentence: "Hey could I take public transportation or Uber, instead of driving to the stadium?" But put together in that order it's just gibberish to them.

Unless you plan on drinking a lot, I'd drive if that's an option. The stadium is located by the intersection of two interstates and it's easy to get in and out.

lol Duffy seething in the dugout... hope the kids come back and win and Duffy plays zero part in the future of this team. He's Randy Johnson before Randy overcame his wildness with 1/8th the talent. Trade him or just DFA him.. He's a loser that played little part in the club's recent success. Dont want his stink to rub off on the kids.

Damn... Here's to hoping for 75 wins! I doubt the bullpen is up to that, but hopefully they figure it out.

Mondesi should be stealing 3rd when on 2nd vs. cats with lengthy wind-ups like Berrios every time

would've scored without a hit during Gordon or Soler's ABs

Our bullpen is so ****in sorry we need to make Zimmer the fireman ASAP literally none of these guys is ever gonna be anything whatsoever they are trash

Bring up dick lovelady i don’t know how you even put together a bullpen this bad I thought Moore was allegedly great at developing bullpen guys this is ugly

I took that dominant bullpen for granted it was amazing knowing you would lose one out of 20 games if you were ahead after the sixth lol
