I’d like to think this is just a smart move, but i have a sneaking suspicion Hillman lost track fo the score

What the fuck are you smoking Aviles?

YOU THREW TO FUCKING SECOND IN A TIE GAME AND LET THE TYING RUN SCORE?

by BHWick on Jul 13, 2008 4:31 PM EDT reply actions  

He was meat at the plate

Why Aviles choose to throw to second baffles me, and why was DDJ taking such a lazy approach to the pop up that Aviles misplayed, that is DDJ’s ball if he hustles

He still should of got out of that inning even with the bloop double, but not luck

Pretty much, Aviles had all his momentum going into foul territory anyway

I”m sure he thought he had no play on Beltre, I don’t really blame him for that one.

No, he really did screw the pooch on that one

But let’s face some basic reality: Buck threw away a ball he only had to throw 40 feet.

The new math

Aviles 3-4 + poor fielding leading to a run = he sucks or John Buck (1-4) sucks and it was his fault

Soria gives up a double = bloop that will only score and the defense sucks

OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

TPJ could pinch hit for Gload

checks BR

oh.. 0 for 1 with a strikeout

by BHWick on Jul 13, 2008 4:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

They should sign Brett Farve to play SS

At least he wouldn’t be playing football for another team (the horror) and the Royals would be treated to his gunslinger-like excellence.

+ Bonus Royals unlikely to make the playoffs where he would constantly try to hand any balls that came his way to the baserunners.

+ a great role model for Gordon and Butler

“How to cheat on your wife, become an alcohol and drug addict, and be a narcissistic drama queen who has choked in the playoffs about 27 more times than you’ve come through, and still have the national media jizz over you.”

Trey needs to learn one thing

BUNTING IS NOT A GOOD IDEA

Just because it works in Japan doesn’t mean it works here. Japan also has a lot of fat home-run hitting Americans and subways. And neither of those things are in KC now.

by BHWick on Jul 13, 2008 4:46 PM EDT reply actions  

damn

Davies blew this one by not just pitching to freaking Clement and instead focusing on Willy Shitquest.

This isn’t on Soria, of course he gets the loss though.

Shhhh

Will, this is important stuff. We need the Cubs to win the World Series this year so they can finally shut up and go back to being losers.

Also, once that happens, the longest World Series drought shifts to Cleveland. Won’t that be awesome?

My guess is they won't attract as many bandwagoneers

It’s a tough road to hoe for rust-belt hellholes

Altough I imagine JoPo would make a game of it.

Did you hear he was from Cleveland? No, really!

Just for the record

I love JoPo, just seems like a fun guy to tweak… Speaking of which, I’m toying with the idea of something of a comedy fanpost that might be funny, but I need a bit of help to maximize it’s potential. Is it cool if I email you for suggestions, RR?

The team with the third-longest drought at the moment

is the Giants, and you know who they beat in their last WS win?

The Indians. The angst could be epic, I tell you.

(Interestingly, once all three of those teams win a series, the Astros finally become eligible for the cursed loser tag…)

amongst the people who think that Aviles throwing to second was a good idea.. did they notice that we only had one out at the time?

by BHWick on Jul 13, 2008 5:13 PM EDT reply actions  

I think it's more

“Frankly, that kid has salvaged this season for us, let’s not beat the shit out of him for a bad defensive half-inning.”

Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.

by jonfmorse on Jul 13, 2008 5:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

I second that sentiment

Without looking at Baseball Reference, I’m sure that George Brett never made a single mitake like that. Well, maybe one or two when he was a rookie.

Which is a good thing, because any more and his batting numbers would be all for naught.

OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

by Matt Klaassen on Jul 13, 2008 5:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

well true

going by the OPS+, I think Aviles is like 110 times better than Pena at hitting.

But still.. that was a a bad half inning.

Not as bad as Berroa, but still

by BHWick on Jul 13, 2008 5:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ugh

seems like this was a good one to miss.

Wonder if Tony Pena will pitch again

I think he was the pitcher for one of the contestants back in Houston or somewhere.

Ichiro would have made an amusing HR derby contestant too.
