PrintChicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals, Jul 10, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
So in the first two games of this series the Royals lost on a two-run sacrifice fly and a balk, while blowing leads of three and five runs... just a generic 5-2 loss tonight would be something of an improvement.
Your pitching contest is Bhuhueelheuereheleeyueleluelele (3.91 ERA) versus Greinienke (3.62 ERA) in the most subtly difficult spelling matchup of the season.

It sure would be nice to win a game
These last two losses have been brutal.

Compliment for Greinke
One of the ways Greinke impresses me is the way he pitches to the whole strike zone. So many major league pitchers get stuck pitching in certain areas of the zone, becoming predictable. Greinke’s quite unpredictable. We really need to hold on to him at ALL COSTS. – TL
He got on base somehow

And now he runs back to first on the pickoff
covering his head with his hands.
What a sissy.

You can tell that he honestly thinks he's a high quality major league player
He’s got that Michael Tucker “why me”’ness about him.

Somehow, I don’t think Dayton’s going to bring that up to JoPo the next time they play the “60 game”
Dayton only likes to point out the tools in his awesome offensive acquistions: stalwarts like Gathright and TPJ.

WTF is the obsession in the press with the Royals trading Greinke?
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
Because they assume we have to shed payroll
and he’s our best player, so well DUH
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
They probably think Soria's the Royals best player, cuz saves are a great measure of balue
Other than RBI master and fiery team leader Jose Guillen
The Royals couldn’t possibly develop a good player. At least not until GMDM got here. Greinke is an outlier: Butler, Gordon, etc. will all fail because they don’t have Dayton’s stamp of approval. Gordon wen to college for chrissakes.
