Game 63 Overflow Thread - Royals (24-38) at Yankees (31-31)
Kansas City Royals at New York Yankees, Jun 8, 2008 1:05 PM EDT
After a long, hot, loss in the Bronx on Saturday, the Royals turn to Zack Greinke (3.56 ERA) to right the ship (gotta love nautical metaphor cliches!) or get the boys back on track (or is it un-tracked? no one seems to know, and, intuitively, I have no sense of whether being on a track is good or bad).
The Yankees turn to... hmm... let me check my game notes here... interesting, this man's name is, let me see if I have this spelled correctly, Joba Chamberlain. As far as I can tell, this young feller has previously been in the bullpen, but was a starter in the minors. Interesting. Never heard word one about him, or this... what are they calling it, "conversion process" that he's been going through.
Well, I suspect there won't be much attention paid to this game, since the Yanks are starting a nobody swingman type.

one should watch out for
massive flies attack!
should be fun though, two really hard throwing youngesters. with the way the Royals used up their bullpen over the last two game it seems like Zach gotta go 7+ to really stand a chance.

hopefully he corected his long ball issue
thaat he dealt with at the cell.

Chamberlain's first start
was terrible. Here’s to a continuation of that trend.
Off to lifeguard. Fething birthday parties.

I wholly expected
the Boys in Blue to lay down yesterday, figuring that they could take it easy after winning on Friday night. Tho we lost, I was pleasantly surprised at the fight and energy, esp. DeJesus’ home run. Inspired piece of hitting. Now we need Greinke to bounce back and lock up at least a split. I think Hooch will get bombed on Monday, as the Yankees are patient at the plate and he tends to have problems getting the ball over.

It's nice to know that someone noticed
but given the Royals’ performance over the past 15+ years, I’m sure that most fans have had similar feelings. However, after the initial despair wore off and we got further away from the disaster last week, you realize that it’s not going to change overnight.

Just for clarification...
On my “resignation” post, wasn’t calling anyone on the site losers, was calling the team losers. I wouldn’t have put anything in there if there wasn’t a 75-word minimum. Anyway, besides the point, did not mean to offend anyone, just 15+ years of frustration building up.

Personally,
he’s my favorite player. The stuff is sick. However, I think it would depend on what we could get for him. It would have to be good. I may continue to go year to year for now, at least let’s see where he ends up at the end of this year. I would love to see him stay.
