if third means first,
then we’re in second in the AL Central!

Wow, Soria up in a non-save situation
I’d like to think this is just a smart move, but i have a sneaking suspicion Hillman lost track fo the score
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
its the typical move for a home team in a tie game
where .500 might; but, probably won't, happen.

Sorry -- I like the move, just mocking Hillman's occasional earlier... curious use of the bullpen

It's time
for two straight Ks to end the inning, right?

What the fuck are you smoking Aviles?
YOU THREW TO FUCKING SECOND IN A TIE GAME AND LET THE TYING RUN SCORE?
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

How many games has Buck cost the Royals in 4 years?
I’m sure I’m long since out of fingers and toes.
I'd say at least 78

Well Joakim pitched fucking awesome
He still should of got out of that inning even with the bloop double, but not luck
winning records follow good bullpens
By all rights he pitched a 1-2-3 inning
and his reward for that is going to be a loss.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
We're Set Up
For more DDJ heroics; it is inevitable.

Maybe this was just an attempt to get Brandon Morrow back in the game...

at least
DDJ will bat again.
I really hope we don’t bunt again with him.
Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.
This wouldn't have happened with Olivo in the game
mainly because Olivo would have given up more runs before the 9th
I'd like to see an Esteban walk off-bat flip.

So now DDJ will get on
and then it’ll be up to Aviles to redeem himself

lefebvre quit trying to be manager and just call the game...it is kinda a big spot

You said that and I got confused
‘cause I flashed back to when Jim Lefebvre was the Mariners’ manager and I was like “but wait, that’s his jo—”
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Horse shit game to lose
Horrible way to go into the ASB

I hope everyone remembers that while Aviles did fuck up
that was really Buck’s damned fault
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
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.
winning records follow good bullpens
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.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Royals suck and always have and always will
and will never win another game. I’m going to go slit my wrists with razors made of Drano-filled bathtubs with toasters in them.
A .22 Short
In the brain pan is more efficient.

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

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.
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.

Soria pitched awesome
Comebacker, strike out? Clutch.

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?
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
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…)
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
They became one years before they ever won anything
Still have a ways to go to catch up with the Red Sox, though

So..
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?
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.
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.

what time does the home run derby start tomorrow?
i don’t want to miss TPJ’s awesomeness…
where .500 might; but, probably won't, happen.
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.
They should get Brian Anderson to do it
