Game 46 Open Thread - Royals (21-24) at Red Sox (29-19)
Kansas City Royals @ Boston Red Sox
So Bartolo Colon is still alive, huh?
He'll square off against Brett Tomko (5.32 ERA). For the first time ever, I wish Runelyvs (never learned how to spell his name, not gonna double check now) was still around. Hernandez-Colon would have been a fun matchup.
Speaking of has-beens, is anyone else completely stunned that Odalis Perez is still pitching?
Between Odalis, Livan Hernandez, Sidney Ponson, Shawn Estes and now Bartolo Colon improbably hanging around, it's been a banner year for, um, the year 2003. Do we play the Padres in interleague? I'm sure Estes will shut us down like Livan and Sir Sidney did...
But back to tonight's game. Since Boston is such a cursed sports city and all, I expect Colon will flame out. Oh, wait...

Looking forward to seeing Colon soft toss for 5 innings
Hope we can get to him.

....and since we have worn out their bullpen the last two days, we can....
..wait a minute. Never mind. I hope get to Colon also. What are the chances/scouting of Colon throwing gas for four or five innings?

And if he strikes out the first batter, I’m not watching the next pitch.

I honestly have no idea what he is going to do
He actually had a few effective outings last year before getting hurt again and losing his command, so I would not be surprised if he was solid tonight. But then again, I also would not be surprised if he fails to make it out of the second inning.

1. One of our numerous punchless #8 hitter types reaches via strikeout/passed ball
2. balk (due to the terrible fear all baserunners create)
3. bunt him over (drawing WILD praise from all)

WOW! I am amazed at the Royals hitters
Bartolo Colon???? KC is just inept but the worst thing seems to be there is no solution to how bad they are. The Lester no hitter isn’t as upsetting as a performance like this one. No hitters happen and a couple of inches one way or another and it’s a two hit shutout from a young pitcher who was dealing. But Bartolo Colon and 2 runs????
The crazy thing about baseball is that the Royals could clobber Dice-K tomorrow but I seriously doubt it.
