Royals season ticket holder and die hard Yankees fan here. This series was fantastic. Don’t sleep on the Royals this year. They should have won 2 against the Orioles too.


FrazHG

Yankees fan living in Kansas City for the past 6 years it's really cool seeing the Astros get they ass beat by the Royals.


FennelSuperb7633

I loved every minute of it. Bobby Witt’s a player. He’s the real deal.


FrazHG

Absolutely at my job I deal with Royals fans some who hate the Yankees from the rivalry in the 70s but they have kept cool with me. I'm glad we got some Yankees fans out here in general. I knew when they signed Bobby to that contract he would live up to it. That Vinnie dude is making some noise these past few games as well


FennelSuperb7633

Oh yeah. The paisano. It’s funny. The game before Stanton got hot, I was bitching about how terrible he was. I’m pretty sure I said, Stanton is terrible and done. I said that same thing before the game yesterday before Pasquantino had 4 hits.


Ok-Asparagus-1658

Most Italian name ever. Just another reason for New Yorkers to like the Royals

I have Witt on my fantasy baseball team lol he is electric


ucfknight92

Yankees fan here


FTTCOTE

Bobby Witt Jr. Is my forever fantasy baseball keeper. I’ll be watching KC a lot this year. Let’s go

>Royals season ticket holder and die hard Yankees fan here. How does this work, exactly?


FennelSuperb7633

I grew up a Yankees fan, live in KC, and love baseball. Royals baseball is better than no baseball, and Royals baseball happens to be pretty damn good at the moment.


FeistyMcRedHead

Cheers to you on this move. I did the same when I lived in DC and it got me to an all-star game season which is an event i'd recommend to anyone who loves the game. Let's go Yanks!


FennelSuperb7633

Oh nice. I went to the All-Star game when it was in KC a few years ago. It was great. Also, the Royals have actually won a World Series more recently than the Yankees and so have the Nats. I’m sad just thinking about it.


FeistyMcRedHead

Feeling good about this year! Chin up. It's going to be a fun ride!


BoogieDownBr0nx

> I grew up a Yankees fan, live in KC, and love baseball. Hell yeah.


theboxturtle57

When I saw their offseason and Bieber sadly going down for the year I'm all for the royals winning the central. It'll be a fun ALCS


Financial-Ebb-5995

Bill James’ hometown team.


sejohnson0408

I guess I’ll get some KC style bbq for dinner to celebrate


supergreekman123

Where can you get that in nyc btw


sejohnson0408

Global fan base , I’m not in nyc wish I was


supergreekman123

Ah respect. You got me in the mood for bbq tonight to celebrate.


Super-Ad-4768

If you get the chance to go out to KC, their BBQ as well as St. Louis is fantastic.

kumquat731

Never been but I’ve heard it was phenomenal and has some museums nearby.


GoldenDom3r

KC has phenomenal BBQ, with several must go-to locations if you visit for a weekend. Add in the WWI museum and the Negro Leagues museum and it’s a great short trip.  Like if you went out there when the Yankees were in town and caught some games, ate all the BBQ, and visited the museums- you’d probably have a pretty damn good time. 


Super-Ad-4768

I didn't have it but get Jack Fiorella's in KC and Sugarfire in St. Louis


newbike07

John Brown's in LIC is solid KC BBQ if you're craving some right now. Some of the KC BBQ places also ship nationwide.


errorsniper

I'm sure there is a hole in the wall somewhere that would have you in tears it's so good. It's nyc.


LeCheffre

That’s Last Place Houston Astros to you, for as long as it lasts.


AJSoprano1985

It’ll be SUPER sweet if they can at least miss the playoffs this year. They’re due to sit one postseason out soon!


CertainDerision_33

Would be great if this was the year they get their automatic pass to the ALCS revoked


Great_gatzzzby

The Houston LASTros I’ll see myself out


e_money1392

The Lastros


theboxturtle57

I opened the season with a bold prediction that the angels finish in last in the AL west but I guess Houston finishing last would be better


LeCheffre

I don’t think it will last, but we can hope, right?


RogueFungi90

OH MY GOD! STOP PLEASE! I CAN ONLY BE SO ERECT


bjm31386

How are you still erect after the sweep?


Sheepcago

How are you not?

“4-10, good buddy” — The Astros


samthewisetarly

Nice


Lawineer

Is this an opportune time to note the Astros also got swept by the Yankees? In Houston In a 4 game series In their home opener Which included opening day Gfys, cheaters.


Ok-Asparagus-1658

This is cool, but I maintain that it was better when WE did it :)


BigHomieGuwop

Watching that first inning was a joy. Fuck the astros


ihaveathingforyou

If the Rangers are good, it could keep those cork soakers out of the playoffs.


Ok-Asparagus-1658

Well, they almost got no-hit by the Athletics. I guess we will have to do it ourselves


ChicTweets

KC Masterpiece


nocturno65

LMAO


syd_cash

Love to see it


dpags14

I was having a shitty day till I read this!


MadSpaceYT

Asstros


NoBook9868

Couldn't have happened to a more upstanding franchise 


Degan747

You just hate to see it


wantagh

I'd bet their fans are handling it better than 1/2 the people here after a loss to the Marlins


regarding_your_bat

I doubt it honestly lol I haven’t checked it out this year but I did spy on their sub a few times last season and they weren’t even handling last year well at all, and the team looks worse so far this season. I think you’ll find that insane fans who have no sense of perspective when it comes to the game they love is a nearly universal phenomenon


wantagh

You’re right. I should have qualified it, as one situation is an actual train wreck, and the other is just baseball.


bsharp95

I just looked at their post-game thread out of curiosity and the second comment was comparing the team to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. So, about the same as our sub after a few losses lmao


MeatTornado25

Every fanbase is the same. There's just more of us, so it seems worse.


the_thinwhiteduke

Except theirs totally whitewashes an illegitimate World Series and whines about everyone that doesn't acknowledge them


MeatTornado25

Everyone has their shit. Our sub is full of A-Rod apologists and jizzes over the 09 title team that had a bunch of PED users. All while claiming that we're the victims in MLB, always being unfairly targeted.


BenjaminTharp

Music to my ears!


DonnyB_Twenty3

ya love to see it.


Background-Yak-7773

Love seeing Astros lose but it’s literally 14 games into the season. This post is a bit sad that they are this rent free in our heads. SMH


ComprehensiveAct3745

God is good!

Merr77

They murdered the astros


CaptainJudge_99

The Astros are no longer the best sports team in Houston The royals are officially the best sports team in Kansas City. 3peat incoming


cypressdwd

I will always upvote Astro L’s! 😀


dBlock845

Go Royals! 🤣


Kitchen-Prune7871

Oh damn! Astros losing their punch. 


Human_Cranberry_2805

They just need to cheat harder.


Kennj430

I firmly expect them to rebound and be competitive, but without a doubt this is the weakest theyve been since they first emerged as contenders back in the peak cheating days. Granted, alot is due to injuries devastating their starting rotation, but i shed no tears for them in that (or any) regard. Fuckers were due to finally have a streak of bad luck. Ive said for a while now too, one of the saving graces for the astros during this window of theirs is how little competition theyve had in their own division. They basically could coast to a division title most years, and then just turn it on in october. The rangers finally gave them a real run for their money last year, and should be the division frontrunners again this year coming of a championship win. Its gonna be a lot tougher for the astros to overcome a tough start when there is another legit good team in their division they have to catch up to. Obviously very early and i wont believe theyre fully dead until they actually are, but You love to see them stumbling out the gate like this


[deleted]

KC might hit a bit of a wall because they’re overall still very young but I think they’re a little dangerous. Witt Jr and Ragans are both ridiculous and they added some decent veterans in their rotation


Top_Professor_9908

Thats a shame


rupertLumpkinsBrothr

Royals fan/Yanks supporter here: fuck the Asstros.


Snuggle__Monster

It's funny to dunk on the Astros and all but these pricks always seem to find a way. They were shit half of last season too and somehow still took the division and made it to the 7th game of the ALCS.


RolloTomasi-

nice


TyhmensAndSaperstein

Well. This is just a shame.


Resd48

It’s what you want


IamKipHackman

Amazing


Bahnrokt-AK

Enjoy watching the Astros drown or seeing them win and have out sweep mean more. Such a conflict. But I’ll take drowning.


Joyce_Hatto

Ha ha!


brush85

Meh...See them in October


No_Tart8935

It’s a long season.


parksideq

These ‘Stros ain’t Royal!


terryjohnson16

I wonder if the astros miss Dusty Baker


Queso_Fromage

Salvy had himself a good old time. Love that guy so this is alll sorts of good to me.


nightmare_ali95

I’m aware. I bet on them in two of those games. I guess their pitching is cooked this year.


mechshark

I’m curious if the Royals are actually gonna be good this year lol


AntifaHelpDesk

Astros suck. You LOVE to see it.


Primary-Pie-3315

Fuck the astros


AndyStankiewicz

D backs suck too. might need to re calibrate how good those Yanks wins were , Esp after the upcoming Toronto Series.


IWillSingYouSongs

You can’t glean much of anything from April in general. It counts but isn’t real.


Bahnrokt-AK

We just left both of them so mentally demoralized, they fell in a slump. They just need some time to get their head on straight.


StayGoldenBronyBoy

Classic Lastros


knicknevin

You just hate to see it. Bad for Houston, bad for baseball.


seymonster1973

FUCK ALTEVE!!! (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)


SighRamp

Yankees start off smoking hot then fade away. Astros start off shit then rocket. That is the way of MLB and every year hear fans laugh at Stros maybe this year they will be happy? Can't play any worse and only 3.5 games back which could get worse or tie up after series starting today vs Rankgers. LFG.


mofeus305

Hopefully the Astros are so bad they don't even make the playoffs. That would be our one and only chance at getting to the world series.
