Game 83 Open Thread - Royals (37-45) at Orioles (41-39)
Kansas City Royals at Baltimore Orioles, Jun 30, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Looking to revive the dying embers of a hot streak cooled by a two-game losing streak to the Cardinals, the Royals head to Baltimore, prepared to face their ultimate nemesis, the Orioles. During the Royals Review Era (2005-8), our boys are an incredible 4-19 against Baltimore.
“I hurt as badly losing that many games in a row to the Baltimore Orioles as if I had been here for all of them,” Royals first-year manager Trey Hillman said after that series. “I want to turn the pride factor up for this organization as high it can possibly be turned up. It’s irrelevant that it wasn’t exactly the same group of guys, or the same staff or the same manager. Losing that many games in a row to anybody is embarrassing.”
(link)
What an incredible string of sentences from Hillman. It's stunning that he's from Texas and has worn a mullet in the past. Stunning.
The Royals send All-Star candidate Zack Greinke (3.40 ERA) to the mound tonight, looking to break that Theoharris curse. In his last ten starts Greinke has posted a 4.70 ERA and has surrendered 11 home runs. The Orioles counter with Brian Burres (5.29), an anonymous millionaire who appears to be something like the Baltimore version of Jeremy Affeldt.

I probably shouldn't, but
this one player said BB’s social skills are “absolutely nil,” and some other stuff like he never high-fives after teammates homer, stuff like that. Just makes everyone awkward with his own awkwardness I guess.

Zack's location
sucks. They are crushing him when it is DOWN THE MIDDLE.
Billy at worst will be Sean Casey jr.

Yeah we've been way too spoiled by interleague,
where if the wheels come off at all, you’re doing it wrong.

GReinke was pitching FANTASTIC through 4 innings
2 hits, 4 k’s, 1 walk. Then bam, every goddamn ball they hit is a base hit / XBH at worse. 4 runs come in. Just unbelievable, he’s not even pitching poorly.

Hello another long losing streak

Yep
I HATE this. It feels exactly like what we get from the Mudville Royals.
When they play well, they look like a professional team.
When they don’t they make scrub pitchers look awesome [remember Trachsel?]
I can deal with sucking but this team is so BIPOLAR.
. . . a weary nation turns to Gil Meche

Game OFF !
I think they are about to enter a bad run again. Need to be in the NL.
Billy at worst will be Sean Casey jr.

He only threw 85 pitches, we just scored 2 to get back into it
It’s the 6th inning on the first game of a long road trip, and we send in our human white surrender flag? Come on.
