Yes, let's...

...take the series! I saw in the KCStar that Billy Butler was recalled. Prediction: He’ll go 2-3 with a single, double, and a walk. – TL

Literally, my second post ever. Would sure be nice to halt this loosing streak at one.

True. Blue. Third Place in 2008.

We need to keep our series-winning streak alive.

Same lineup as last night, why we aren’t playing Butler at first is beyond me.

Gay.

We've already made one mistake costing us a run

And Bannister just wakled aaron freakin’ miles and served up a 2 run shot to Jason freakin’ Larue. That is not how you win baseball games

by slayor on Jun 29, 2008 2:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I don't care.

I’m sick of people declaring games over when we’re down two in the second inning. If we can lay Tim Lincecum’s worst game of the season on him after being down by five runs, this game isn’t even close to over.

I understand you think we're being overly negative but

Last night we gave away 3 runs on defense. 2 innings into tonight, we’ve seen: Bannister hand out 3 free passes. Jason Larue hit a 2 run home run. Dejesus injure himself, cost us a run and make a bad baserunning decision simultaneously. Aviles lose a pop up that costs us two runs in the end. Need I go on? Ugly.

If you say it’s ugly, that doesn’t bother me. You get mad, that doesn’t bother me. We can criticize the play on the field without reaching for the razor blades, though.
