If I hadst only been here on a regular basis, I would have caught the obvious reference to the illustrious Mr. Laundry, er...Landry.
Ya know, in his Texas Hold 'Em games, I imagine he really...cleans up.

I'm afraid even our Tim Laundry can't help in this crisis...if these suggestions work, please let me know because I've experienced this same disaster and couldn't salvage much.
For what it's worth, here's my tip...
Have you ever experienced the POWER of the CLOTH??? It's a microfiber cloth that absorbs oil LIKE FABULOUS! WOW!
Hope you didn't put the clothes in the dryer...dampen the CLOTH and squeezed the cloth on the stains. Use a spot remover like Shout or Dawn (already suggested) along with the absorbing power of the CLOTH and you'll see some great results.
Sometimes you have to work on the spot for a little while until all the grease is absorbed. Problem with grease stains is you can't tell whether they're gone until they dry. Hang dry the clothes so the stains won't set in.
You can purchase the CLOTH at Home Depot, Auto Zone, HEB, Walmart, etc.
The CLOTH is great for windows and glass top tables! It works MUCH better than paper towels and Glass Cleaner. Every streak is gone! I wipe down the mirror/glass with a damp CLOTH then follow with a dry CLOTH. The glass SHINES like diamonds! and as we all know Diamonds are a girls best friend! (hint hint to THADDY!)

Because they were dried in with heat from the drier they might be set. A little simple green on grease or oil gets it out every time if it hasn't been dried in first.
Also wash it in hot water not cold. Hot water gets the stains out and heat from the drier sets the stains in. So you can prespot and rewash over and over until it comes out, but once it goes in the drier it's over.

20% nitric acid in a 5% HCL solution WILL DO it. 
And a new wardrobe afterward because the stains will be gone... but then so will the rest of the cloth.
God bless you this is the best I had.

I have had luck getting stains out after run through the dryer. It takes quite a few washes, and lots of dawn (a little bit at a time!..no bubbles on the floor..lol). I figured this out by accident. I poured grease down a shirt that was so comfortable, I decided to just wear it around the house and within a few months the stain was gone. That was just washing regularly, in cold water. I've expedited that a little by using the dawn and hot water even after set. It's not 100% foolproof, I think it probably depends on fabric content.
