".500 team not coming back"
Now, now, there’s plenty of interleague play to mend our wounds. Things may look considerably better by the end of June.
The reports of this team's demise come 17 times a day
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
by Scott McKinney on Jun 6, 2008 6:17 PM EDT up reply actions
Would like to believe .500 is attainable
But I doubt it. Our offense has not even approached a level of sufficiency where .500 is a realistic finish.
Our pitching is good to very good at times, but we can’t score enough runs to turn that positive into an ultimate plus – more wins.
True. Blue. Third Place in 2008.
It probably won't happen
But Royals fans do loving giving up on their team. Early and often.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Much as I love seeing the Royals play
I refuse to pay the price for seats at Yankee Stadium. The last Royals game I saw there was, an early Runelvys game, which research reveals to have been August 6, 2002.
I’ll be seeing them at the K on the 25th, against the Rockies, who I’m pleasantly surprised to see are having a worse year than we are.

Maybe it's because
I attended Kyle Davies’ first game (against the Yankees, last year), but when I saw he was starting, I said, “Oh, crap.”
Then again, I haven’t been paying attention like I should. Announcers said Teahen has 6 HR, and I was thinking: “How did he get that many? Last I knew, he was around 2 or 3.”
mlb game widget only showing pitch location,
not all the pitch f-x stuff. surely yankee stadium has the cameras and stuff?
8 pitch AB
by DDJ, then a HBP by Grudz… decent start.
I think for just flicks like that, it shouldn’t be a HBP…. it edged his shirt, not him.

Plus Yankee hitters pitch selection = 4 hour game

while you’re at predicting plays?
i will go with a two-hitter by davies,
with aviles hitting for the cycle, as phil o’ the north suggested above.
a runner

I have wondered when Teahen developed power. A progress report should probably be pending. In his last 10 games, he’s hit .325 with 4HR and 8 RBI. And he stretches to beat the double play.
by the way: why is olivo DH, and buck C?
isn’t olivo better at defense?
it just seems like he has a good throwout rate and buck sucks at that.

missed a dp before the last out, but it was more a slow roller
and his throw to end the inning pulled teahan of the bag, but not by much, and had to apply the tag.
but the other dps weren’t that bad and he handled a couple decently hit grounders well. but he’s not looking great, but probably “solid”.

you have to realize: I followed up on my mom’s advice every time (don’t get into fights). But while there is a “turn the other cheek” passage, there’s likewise not a “allow yourself to be trampled by everyone else” passage, either. It’s pacifism with a purpose rather than mere passivity.

Yasuhiko Yabuta is to Major League Baseball as Drew Carey is to The Price is Right
I thought I was the one in the deep league!

He's Mourning Berroa's
Departure; it also opens a slot in Omaha for him.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

It's funny... Manny's pissed at Youk
for the same shit Joey does every time he strikes out.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Why was he mad at him.. i never heard the reason?

Manny is a total D-Bag
Trust me on that one.

mlbtraderumors.com said yesterday that
the Royals FO is already active in pursuing trades. This may be the first of many to come this year. Let’s all hope.

alright
it’s the town’s Homecoming celebration, and I need a funnel cake. Downtown’s two blocks from my house, so I’m going to go to that. Also, I feel pretty good about the score. Watch this hubris kick me in the ass when I get back. Funnel cake and beer run, go!
mmmmmm. Beer and funnel cakes
That’s my kind of party.

What Is This
Funnel cake of which you speak so highly?

BREAKING NEWS
Sidney Ponson, noted Royal-killer, DFAed by Texas for “off-field issues”
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
General manager Jon Daniels said the problem that led to the decision was Ponson’s lack of respect toward teammates and staff.“Based on recent events, I don’t think Sidney wants to be here or deserves to be here,” Daniels said.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
So, on the scale of "fatty pitchers trying to make a comeback"
will Ponson rank above or below Bartolo Colon?
wow what an idiot..
he got an opportunity.. and was pitching well.. and did that.. what a dumbshit

or a brave.. they have huge pitching problems there
Yasuhiko Yabuta is to Major League Baseball as Drew Carey is to The Price is Right
ya i believe so..
i think he will be a brave.. they have monster problems there

Kay/Cone discussing Manny/Youk
Kay: “Manny smacked Youkilis in the face… is that the sort of thing that breaks up a team?”
Kay should follow it up with, “How about whipping your dong out in the bullpen? How’s that affect the team?”
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Did which happen?
I can’t verify the former, but Cone sure whipped it out in the bullpen one time…
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
It's been pretty well documented.
Not least of which in The Worst Team Money Could Buy.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Help me..
whats the Hiram nickname mean?

Boston getting creamed right now, by the way.
By Seattle, of all people.
I suspect this same phenomenon is the culprit of Davies' performance tonight
Certainly it’s not competence?
I'm pretty sure there's no other way to pronounce it.
Unless your Hispanic, in which case I guess it could be HEE-rom.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
The A's have a guy in their system named Hiram Bocachica
Bocachica, loosely translated, means “Girl mouth.” So you better believe when he came to Omaha last year one Thirsty Thursday, the entire crowd was chanting “GIRL-MOUTH. GIRL-MOUTH.”
All three of us :(
Time to pull Hiram?
A one run lead is a slim margin
winning records follow good bullpens
Trey says "yes"
jury of his peers, on the other hand, is still contemplating.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Nice game for Davies tonight
We couldn’t have dreamed of a better outing.
"We should've gotten a live chicken"
- Willie Mays Hays
Could have used a few less hits, a few more Ks.
But the lack of walks is exciting.
To extend it:
Ramirez = Greinke
Yabuta = Bale
And most of the other players are in the same roles, ie Peralta, Nunez, Gobble.
Girardi's running up the PAP.
Is that really necessary on the Royals?
