Kansas City Royals at New York Yankees, Jun 6, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
Former Brave Kyle Davies (6.16 career ERA) takes on Darrell Rasner (3.59 career ERA) tonight at Yankee Stadium.
Being a .500 team is gone and it's not coming back.
(Curious about later draft picks? Check the post below.)

".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.

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.

I'm going to the Saturday, Sunday and Monday games
I refuse to go to a game where the temp is not over 90. Thankfully, while the temp hasn’t been over 82 in NYC yet, it will be at or above 92 for the Sat, Sun and Mon games. Fun!

That's really hard to say. I always see many Royals hats, shirts and jerseys.
I have no idea how to estimate how many it is. A few hundred? A thousand? More?

Good to hear there is some support
you should wear something specific so we know it’s you when they undoubtedly show a Royals fan at the game. Then you will have a TV appearance to go along with your radio showing on 810.

Look for a black Royals hat with a blue bill
And a white, midwestern looking guy wearing it. I’ll be in the lower level down the RF line past first base, not too close to the field.

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.

In Yankee Stadium; that should make it easier for him. Olivo continues to DH against RHP’s, and the Great Gator Showcase continues unabated.

Rasner has pitched well, but he isn't a great pitcher
He is/was a mediocre prospect and he’s due for a bad outing. Anything is possible. This is probably the game the Royals are least likely to win, but anything is possible.

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.”

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.

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”.

I don't think there's a Christianity = peace truism
My dad’s a preacher, but when I was a kid, any time someone picked on me, he was always the one who told me to “just pop ‘em in the nose” if they did that again.
by powderbluepower on Jun 6, 2008 8:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Well, there is a Christianity = peace truism in the Bible, but not a ton of people act on it.
Not to impugn your Dad, but I never saw how “turn the other cheek” translated into “be sure to retaliate to any physical abuse.”
by Eppenweb on Jun 6, 2008 8:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I had that at my ready.
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.
by powderbluepower on Jun 6, 2008 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Of course, the trick is how to interpret when your "purpose" is just or not.

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.”

I think he's an ok all around pitcher who is on a good stretch
It will eventually be followed by a bad stretch, giving him probably worse than mediocre numbers overall. He’s just taking up space until Hughes comes off the DL.
