My friend says I should apply for the job and gave me these slogans to add in my cover letter.

1) Free Electrolux night. “Hey, we suck, and now, you can too!”
2) Ease the Pain night: ”$1 beers!”
3) Not sure if you should pull the plug? Come watch us for two hours…KC Royals 2009
4) Once, Twice, Three strikes a Royal!
5) The Royals – they play just like you would!
6) Royals baseball 2009 – we can’t suck every year
7) The Royals: Nobody in Bucharest knows we suck
8) Royals 2009: We put the “Oy” in Royals
9) Come see the Royals: “What else is there to do around here?”
10) The Royals 2009: Ahhh f*%k it.

Rediculously boring. I shouldn’t complain, though, because there have been many Royals faithful who have experienced the same hardships this year that I did last night. Hoping for an offensive outbreak tonight to ease my pain.

I wonder if the percentage of alcoholism, in relation to fans of losing teams, is greater than that of successful clubs.

olivo is 4th…

let’s see how this goes.

Is an interesting idea.

Trey listened to me?

I HAVE POWAH!

Just stopping by to celebrate our early lead. Now, Gil, let’s hold it.

If you’re not watching, Grudz hit that liner to Mora so hard it almost knocked Mora on his ass when he caught it.

5.83

That was scary.

I love it

none

i want a 7—2 laugher

to catch a foul ball.

time for him to lock in and cruise for another 4 innings

Looks like Gil just has to throw a 170 pitch no-no.

he can do it again

....Given the negativity (justified, IMO) of our fanbase this far into the season.

15-19. Not bad considering most of us are disappointed.

I think that, assessing this team realistically, there isn’t that much room for improvement in our current roster. Most of our 25-man roster is in their prime or older. And most of our sub-25 players (Gordon, Soria, Greinke, Bannister, Nunez, Ramirez?) have been our most significant contributors.

Bottom line? Our max. potential, with this roster, just isn’t as high as the fanbase would like it to be. The solution? Either several successful and instant draft picks, a high-profile free agent signing, another shrewd free-agent signing, and a Cortes/Hochevar breakout. On top of committing $$$$ to our own core. That’s a sizeable task for GMDM.

Tied game!

5.98

pitch count update: 57

regain the tie for the team HR lead. He can’t let that young whippersnapper Gordon get over on him like that.

This really sucks.

SERENITY NOW

I can’t let Trashcel hurt me

back in a bit

...but part of me would appreciate it if you guys would bomb Trachsel so we can get rid of him ASAP. Someone cook up some mojo. I’m all for a slugfest.

Seriously, I remember it being like a CG SHO or something.

You’d expect Jose to get all pissed off there, but the gentle hand on the ump’s shoulder and the calm, plaintive discussion startles me.

Thought we may have it there.

Too bad “all of” it isn’t enough for him.

Trey called for an IBB? SHENANIGANS

the Reds’ Alex Gonzalez when he comes off the DL? He seems to have lost his job to Jeff Keppinger and he can hit 15-19 jacks a year and plays a fairly solid short.

Elarton-esque effort

Steve Trachsel would be a Cy Young candidate.

and put Ryan Howard on the block this summer. How do you all feel about going after Howard?

the fact that the trash man has only allowed 2 runs is incredible

time for him to lock in and cruise for another 4 innings

I think I’d rather watch Designing Women.

might be the worst game of the season

Sailor Boys’ broadcast on the way home; they’ve lost 3 in a row, 8 of 9 and haven’t scored in 22 innings; we could be worse.

Well, at least one team playing baseball in Kansas City today will be getting back to .500…

6.31

We’re only 3ish games out of first. Better than the 10 or more we’ve been out after the first month of previous seasons.

Dropping the bat and going to 1B without hitting the ball?

he killed that first inning rally by hitting a homer
what was he thinking?

first we pull Sidney Pondscum off the trash heap and now
Steve Trash – the Royals are very kind

Really gonna hurt.

remember

please,anything but a homer

idea of a shortstop walking. WHat’s up with that?

is that late-inning rallies after knocking out the starter are so rare.

coming up?

that was disappointing
7 runners LOB

riiiiiiiiight

What happened to the Orioles’ runs that inning?

“Cuh-less-po” one more time, I’m gonna snap.

Lot of this guy in Seattle; I can’t believe he’s closing.

never thought I would see Teabag PH for

pretty crappy game for Olivo tonight
