Jesus, how old are you man? It’s been 31 years! A’s and Angels haven’t been true rivals since the 70’s/80’s! [Reply]
White Sox, shitbag fan base, unbearable announcers and always one guy on the team who’s a complete piece of shit. Even when I was a kid watching them play against the Royals I thought Greg Luzinski looked like a total creeper! [Reply]

From the condescending Hawk Harrelson to POS’s like Tony Phillips and Lamar Hoyt, their asshat manager Ozzie Guillen and that little fucker at 2B/SS that they just moved on from this off-season
Fuck them all with a long, serrated rusty knife!!
I like to think that the '14-15 Royals expedited Hawk's retirement (and hopefully soon death). I relocated to Chicago the early 2015 season and would catch the Sox broadcasts and he'd get so mad during the Royals series'. We had such an annoying brand of baseball for opponents. We'd keep the line moving and he'd call a bloop single a "Kansas City Special" and turned his catch phrase of "He Gone" onto his own team in disgust. Like a less professional Dan Fouts announcing a Mahomes game
Sox would have a runner on 1st. Dude would get a decent jump and before Perez even got the ball out of his hand Hawk would be like "He Gone" in pure disgust that they'd even think about running on Perez
God damn I was in hog heaven listening to those broadcasts knowing his entire day was ruined [Reply]

Then add in AJ Pierzynski's bitch ass and its even more of a no brainer for the White Sox

Even when the Royals have been good, those teams were just kind of there.... I had some relatively short lived hate for the Bautista/Donaldson Jays.
You have to include the video to that insane ordeal. Father and son scumbags, fit right in on the Southside!
It was terrible, but I enjoyed watching the entire Royals team sprint out and pile onto those thugs. It seems unfortunate that they weren't able to cause notable injuries to the guys.
I wonder whatever became of them. They seem like people who are destined to end up dead in an alley somewhere. We can only hope. [Reply]

They were promoted to full Raidurr fans after this incident. [Reply]

There was a 10 year update on them over a decade ago. Crazy how long ago that was.
The anniversary isn't receiving much attention, but it was 10 years ago Wednesday that 34-year-old William Ligue Jr. and his 15-year-old son William III attacked Kansas City Royals first base coach Tom Gamboa at Chicago's Comiskey Park. That's 10 years of knowing that, yes, there are cretins like that living among us and they can hurdle a short fence to beat a baseball lifer and irreparably change his life. Gamboa suffered permanent hearing loss during the attack.
"I felt like a football team had hit me from behind. Next thing I knew, I'm on the ground trying to defend myself," Gamboa told reporters at the time. "It just happened so fast."
The Chicago Tribune did a where are they now?-style piece with the three subjects of the story last November. Gamboa never coached in the major leagues after being let go by the Royals after the 2003 season and spent several years as a minor-league coach for the Padres and Angels before retiring last year at age 63.
The Ligues, not surprisingly, have struggled to stay out of trouble. The elder Ligue, who's now 44, was sentenced to five years in prison in 2006 for breaking into a car, which was a violation of the probation he received for beating Gamboa. The younger Ligue, now 25 and apparently still proud of his 15 minutes of shame, was released from prison in 2011 and is on parole after serving time for a 2010 drug charge. Of all the great father and son highlights that baseball has produced over the years, there's no doubt that the Ligues authored the sport's worst moment between two generations. May we never see something like that again. [Reply]
Cleveland fans get pretty arrogant and it’s irritating AF. The Royals have had some really shitty teams and there’s no way around it, but Cleveland has had some of the most loaded teams over the years and they fall apart year after year in the postseason. They are baseball’s answer to the Buffalo Bills yet they act like they’re some kind of dynasty because they manage to not suck enough to not win the central. They will die without seeing Cleveland win a WS and they deserve it! [Reply]

No way both of those scumbags are still alive. At least one is dead, the other is rotting in prison or in a worn down trailer in whatever WT shithole he ended up in.
Jesus, what a loser that "father" was/is. I have a 15 year old son. Not that I would ever do what Ligue did, but even if I did lose my shit and do something crazy, my 15 year old would take no part in it and would probably call my wife and say "dad is losing his mind, come get me or get him or call the cops". But then again, I actually have taught my sons how to not be pieces of shit so...... [Reply]

This is pretty solid hatred for a baseball rivalry. :-) [Reply]
