heeeeeeeeeeeey....
finally a pinch hitter for pena…lets earn that money jose

im feeling it
although i was thinking german might be the better move here as a pinch hitter b/c he’ll have to go into the game anyways so our bench options should this game go extra or something are nil
by billybeingbilly on Apr 24, 2008 9:08 PM EDT reply actions
ive been saying for weeks now...
that buck and olivo should play simultaneously 4-5 times/week. we are so power deprived to have one of them on the bench. plus, its not like ross and his misplayed grounders and occasional infield hits are earning his PT

To think we did all that
starting with two outs is Frightening and Confusing Me.™

Me too, I think that he’ll really work out for our organization. It’d be nice to hold a good reliever for a long time.

how long is the lag between games going to be?
even if we go down, we accomplished enough on offense to make the tribe use some pitchers

The plummet into the abyss continues...
We really, really, really need to win this second game.
winning records follow good bullpens
In japan they play septa-headers
and guys throw 5000 pitches and they play the game the RIGHT WAY
(has anyone noticed how much baseball broadcasters love japanese baseball? its incredible. EVERYTHING ichiro or fukudome does is like the most awesome thing ever)
I've noticed this, and my best guess on its popularity would be
That it takes these old geezers in the announcers booth back to the “good ol’ days”, when the sacrifice bunt was king and pitchers got to throw 300 pitches a game.

You Mean They
Don’t do that anymore? It seems like only yesterday Early Winn (what a great name) pitched no-hitters in both ends of a double-header.

Really, You Can
Take pitches, especially when the pitcher is struggling with command. Put the guess hitting on hold until the guy shows he can throw strikes.

if someone is watching on TV, i’d love to hear about the size of the crowd

"fairly sparse"...
is being rather generous. I’d call it the emptiest I’ve ever seen.
I wonder if Trey convinced Guillen

Good to see Lee is racking up the pitch count ;]

Come on, Hillman
If there’s one way to break up this losing streak, it’s putting our batting our best hitter 6th. And Pena’s starting again.
When does everyone admit that Teahen’s glorious 1/3 season of hitting for power two years ago was a fluke?
I want to like Hillman, but come on.

This is awesome
I guess it’s not in the budget for both camera guys to stay past 10pm. I think it gives a nice retro, little league feel to the game. Those could be our kids out there playing ball while we stand against the backstop shooting the breeze.

i understand that, but the problem is that we got this fancy new TV package but I never had to worry about a foggy CF camera, a camera switcher sticking, or missing entire batters on RSTN. I mean, I love watching the game in HD, but come on.

Man, I'm watching the Sox Yankees game and the White Sox tv guys
are absolutely hilarious. Talk about being total homers, but it’s kind of endearing in the “99% of everything we say is inane bullshit” sort of way.

You're giving Harrelson too much credit
‘cause there’s no way that he manages to hit .010 on the non-inane bullshit meter.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
I've listened to them before and hated it, but I'm starting to enjoy it
It’s laughably bad, and they’re willing to call somebody out when they mess a play up. But they also rag on the umpires strike zones, and cheer for the home team with unbridled enthusiasm. It’s hilarious.

I'm really starting to enjoy them, this shit is hilarious
Sure they say some laughably retarded stuff, but they also speak a lot of truth. There are grains of wisdom baked into the loaves of BS… it’s pretty enjoyable.

I think they need a 3rd guy in the booth
who’s job is to call them out on their BS during the game. Just saying the stuff that 90% of America is yelling at their TVs.
you mean like MNF did with Dennis Miller?

Has anyone made a joke about Pena choking up?
I wasn’t here for the first game. I heard Kietzman or someone announce that from now on, Pena was going to be choking up when he bats. That’s the ticket.
Frank White
“I would give him a bigger bat”...like a tennis racket.
According to gameday that 3rd strike to pena was 3 inches off the plate

i now know not to trust gameday, if a pitch were three inches off the plate, TJ wouldve swung a might swing

Perspective
George Brett’s fourth season in the majors: .333, 7 HR, .7-1 K/BB ratio. (Teahen’s never had a season worse than .5-1, by the way.)
No, I’m not trying to compare Teahen to Brett; I’m just saying, don’t throw him out with the bathwater. He’s in a slump, and he’s probably never going to be a power guy, but he’s still a decent bat.

I like that he just said the “thousand or so” fans left in the stadium didn’t notice Butler’s gaffe. I remember Split giving it to MacDougal one game when a bases loaded grounder was hit right to him and he air-mailed the throw home about 30 feet over the catcher’s head. I think I’d like to have a beer with him.
I'm pretty damn sure bannister noticed

THAT fat. He’s like Galaraga fat.
i shouldve gone and gotten drunk tonite instead
although our royals drinking game couldve gotten pretty expensive at mcfaddens

try taking a jager shot every time the royals go 1-2-3
and chugging a beer if they screw up in the field or on the bases…it’ll getcha.
i feel like i might need to add something for every time teahen swings badly on 3-0 or misplays a flyball

If we can just chase Lee this inning, we should theoretically have a chance
Since the Indians threw half their BP game one. Lol.

Soria is a bright spot even in a sucky game
This guy needs to be pitching more innings, somehow.

how are the top picks looking for the 09 draft?
by billybeingbilly on Apr 25, 2008 12:42 AM EDT reply actions
maybe we can kidnap that pedro alvarez guy from vandy...
so he lasts until the 3rd pick and he’ll immediately become our best hitter in june

Well that was absofuckinglutely miserable
And the plunge into oblivion continues. We look sooooo bad.

I have never seen such a sorry fucking porformance in my life
Glad I wasted 6 hours of my life on watching the shitty ass royals do what they do best.. LOSE!! God FORBID we get Frank Thomas or Barry Bonds because that means we would actually have a shot at scoring over 6 runs or 1 FOR THAT MATTER! THIS TEAM BLOWS
A lot of you wont like me... by I assure you my opinion will be voiced GO ROYALS!
If we can't win with a pitching performance like that... when can we win?
winning records follow good bullpens
They'll just put up 10 runs like they've done for whta, the past 4 games in a row?

pitching isn't so much our problem
Blown Save
Dont be so sure..
Tomko sure sucked ass today.. this team is fucking terrible.. we cant score everything is just in the trash.. who is up for seeing if we can beat our 19 Game losing streak
A lot of you wont like me... by I assure you my opinion will be voiced GO ROYALS!
This team needs a major change
We need a legit bat, or this is going to be a long year. Let’s face it, Gordon and Butler aren’t the problem. Dejesus isn’t the problem, he’s hit when played. Teahan is slumping, but he’s been decent. The problem is… Ross Gload, Joey Gathright, Tony Pena Junior, and the rest of the jokers we’ve been running out there. Guillen has sucked, he’ll get better, but he’s no world beater. Bring on Barry Bonds.
winning records follow good bullpens
Ya except for the retarded dayton moore said he doesnt want bonds and didnt want thomas
Why because he is STUPID… who could fear this lineup.. its fucking horrid and embarassed.. just when you think you cant be any more embarrassed for being a royals fan.. this shit happens.. everyone gets happy because we thought we were good.. then find out WE SUCK LIKE ALWAYS!
A lot of you wont like me... by I assure you my opinion will be voiced GO ROYALS!
butler isnt the problem
but i dont think anyone wanted him to be ken harvey either
he has four doubles and a HR and thats it (well, a ton of walks, which harvey never did)
Not to mention in his last 8 or so games
he is 1 for— everytime he just gets 1 hit except for tonight’s last game when he ended his streak for getting on base in every game
A lot of you wont like me... by I assure you my opinion will be voiced GO ROYALS!
Crap crap crap
what the hell does it take to win a game around here? I guess I should be happy enough that Banny seems to have his groove back after that blowout in Oakland – makes me a little hopeful for Greinke tomorrow night – but this is just downright insane already.
Gload has totally pissed me off tonight. I want my Shealy! Now!

as much as i hate gload, shealy is worse.
he’s hitting like 169 in AAA as a 27 year old
by billybeingbilly on Apr 25, 2008 1:10 AM EDT reply actions
I'm just frustrated with Gload tonight
His rotten fielding and pathetic situational hitting totally cost us the first game.
I know Shealy isn’t doing too great in AAA right now. I still think that he’s got the skills and power he showed in 2006 (4 homers so far!), and if someone went down injured, I wouldn’t make a slow start in the minors cause me to hesitate to call him up.

his lack of power anywhere outside of colorado makes me hesitate to call him up.

Sorry I havent been around
Wait, why I am saying sorry? Barely anyone here remembers me. Well, anyway, I have been away because of work (and I forgot my login, so i had to get a new account), and it pains me that I am missing out on all the fun here. Although the Royals have been losing badly this past week I love them just as much as ever, and hopefully we can get our funk back against the Blue Jays.
