Colorado Rockies @ Kansas City Royals


The Royals reacquaint themselves with JDLR (6.52 ERA) tonight, in what promises to be an emotional night at the K. It should be especially difficult for Dayton to watch de la Rosa in Rocky gray, as he was always smitten with Jorge's electric stuff.

The Royals counter with Zack Greinke (3.33 ERA). I may be dead wrong, but Greinke seems to have been fairly "meh" for the last month or so. I'd love to see him turn in a truly virtuoso performance.

With another win, we can reclaim another fan in western Kansas. I want Royals fans on the ground in Goodland!

Grudge match!

JDLR is going to come out firing tonight.

By the way! Today is “Tear Down The Ceiling For No Goddamn Reason Night!” according to Mr. Fix-It, my idiot father. Honestly, it’s like the man is trying to sabotage our chance of putting the house on the market.

I hope we’re keeping a close eye on the battlefront. I want… no, I NEED to know when our forces retake Jericho and make it safe for Skeet Ulrich to root for a real team again.

I don't think I've ever seen a team that had...

a SS defensive replacement
a utility infielder AND
a backup utility infielder

Call me crazy, but we could use a few more corner players and a few fewer middle infielders.

It's the reverse Will Ferrell effect

Ferrell makes like 3-4 funny ass movies and then he makes one that just sucks out loud (Bewitched, Elf, Stranger than Fiction). JDLR pitches horribly for 3-4 games, then looks like a Cy Young candidate.

Bewitched and Elf. I have no argument about that. But Stranger than Fiction is not a sucky movie. It is a perfectly average movie. It’s like King of the Hill: not horrid, but not your first choice. Bewitched and Elf? the “Little Bush” of their field

It’s like Adam Sandler. Dude, I don’t want to see you being serious. You’re supposed to be Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison. Ferrell is supposed to be Ricky Bobby or Gene from the Blue Oyster Cult.

Talladega Nights: slight, disappointed-in-myself approval, and I loved Mustafa in the Austin Powers movies. He’s just very badly burned. And fair enough for Jay and Silent Bob.

the fact that he’s hitting the majority of the pitchers he faces pretty well is more encouraging to me than him hitting “meh” against everyone. Plus, I think Gordon will hit lefties eventually.

A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.

by NHZ on Jun 24, 2008 9:21 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Gordon hit a soft liner to SS.

Tulowitzki tried to let it drop for a DP, but the Ump ruled he caught the ball. He threw back to first, going for the DP, and airmailed it into the dugout. Aviles gets to go to 3rd because of the ‘the base you are going to + another one’ rule.
