As promised in our 2014 World Series Viewing Guide……

….the Bottlegate World Series Drinking Game! I myself will be opening up the bottle of Kraken rally rum I bought for last year’s Wild Card game and haven’t laid a finger on since, but we’re from Cleveland, so any type of booze will do. Shoot us any additional rules you come up with in the comments or on twitter.

Sips

• Whenever it’s mentioned that this could be the Royals “year”
• If your eyes accidentally wander to Erin Andrews’ or Ken Rosenthal’s face
• Mentions about the Royals bullpen:
  • Kelvin Herrera throws hard
  • Wade Davis used to be a starter
  • Greg Holland’s slider
• Mics pick up a cuss word from Jake Peavy
• Billy Butler physically makes it to first base
• Buster Posey’s plate discipline or Pablo Sandoval’s lack thereof is discussed
  • Turns into a finish your drink if it’s within the same conversation

Healthy Gulps

• Whenever it’s mentioned how unorthodox Hunter Pence is
• A batter gestures to their dugout after a base hit
• They show Paul Rudd in the crowd
• Mike Moustakas does something that makes you ask him if he’s fucking kidding you
• Harold Reynolds makes a joke about Madison Bumgarner or Eric Hosmer drinking beer
• Lorenzo Cain makes a diving catch
• Jarrod Dyson pinch runs
• Nick Swisher says “man”

Finish your drink

• Alex Gordon concusses himself
• If the announcers or someone you’re watching the game with mentions or, God forbid, says they miss Tim McCarver
• Interview Paul Rudd in the crowd
• They play “Royals” in our out of a commercial break
• Jarrod Dyson pinch runs & steals a base
• Kansas City commits an error

and finally…

• Nick Swisher says “bro”

 

Bottoms up.
