Game 77 Overflow Thread

Royals 7, Rockies 3.

Jose Guillen can call the rest of the roster babies, but he's not allowed to talk dirty to my DDJ.

PS: Horacio Ramirez is in the game. Everyone take cover, baseballs will begin leaving the park any second.

You know

We should really be enjoying this possible victory. Banny craftiness + Guillen hotness, and yet (and I’m one of the people most guilty of this) we’re focusing on another “Leadership Moment” from Guillen, TPJ being referred to as a Prospect, and HO-RAM.

So, YAY ROYALS…

I think some Royals fans get in

denial when things are going well….they just have to find something to be upset about, even when we are winning.

to bring up the Guillen stuff. I am, of course, quite happy that Banny and Guillen have done well tonight.

Hey, I was as bad/worse than anyone

That was meant to be a self-deprecating post. Didn’t mean to call anyone out.

I’m not here to police people. Personally, for me, it’s like sitting around in the living room BSing about the game. Overreactions and second guessing are par for the course. I’m not going to tell anyone what they can’t say.

Ramirez got out of it

now everyone who said something bad about having him in and saving the bullpen must leave for a time of 2 game threads….I will hand out further punishments at a later time.

How about

for comments that implied that Hillman doesn’t know what he’s doing for putting Ramirez in and the franchise is DODOOOOMMMMMEEEDDD, you’re banned for the rest of the season.

Look at Ho-Ram’s stats for his past oh, 3-4 years. Beyond horrible. This guy was never a good major league pitcher, and now he’s in our bullpen for some unknown reason.

But we won’t take a flyer on crap firstbaseman that can actually hit home runs. Don’t quite understand that.

There were a few

Jayson Botts, Ben Broussard, Chris Shelton, Dan Johnson. None were great shakes, but I’m pretty sure any could outhit G-Load at this point.

Or heck, Ryan Shealy.

and I feel like pitchers in your bullpen

are a lot different than 1B’s. Ramirez is by no means an answer to any FO person’s problems, trust me…it’s just a tired bullpen that would love to save people for the rest of the series.
