44-54; You Can Put That on the Board

Clearly, we need to focus on Teahen and DDJ going a combined 1-9. Baseball players are robotic proles who must remain in rigid roles. If those roles ever change, their feeble minds implode and they cannot function.

Right? Gilgameche_medium

 

  • I think that was the best Gil Meche has ever looked, at least as a Royal. The numbers -- 6.1 IP, 2 H, 1 BB, 6 Ks -- only partial reflect that dominance, but aside from some Mechean moments of inefficiency, the Epic looked totally in control.
  • As "The Fernando Vina School of Linguistics" pointed out during the game thread, tonight would have been an easy night to get Jimmy Gobble into a game the Royals were going to win. Well, Ho-Ram's a former Brave, and he's been on the team for three weeks. He's earned it. You will recall, Gobble hasn't appeared in a win since... May 18th!
  • Billy Butler huh? Good stuff. Again, Mark Teahen numbers baby! Mark Teahen numbers.
  • Another night of Gload. The beat goes on...
  • Aviles Ahora! His clutch double in the bottom of the eighth extended his hitting streak to nine games.

First?

How about the Smirk with a sneakily cool line. Maybe not a HR, but his one hit is an XBH. He gets another steal, only Ks once, and gets two walks. A pretty nice little line. The uncaring Smirk is becoming rightfully cocky…

The chin isn't NEARLY big enough

They also need to put Popeye forearms on the th ing, then it would be perfect.

Well, I guess they need the hair curling around the rim of the hat, too.

But, back to the forearms—I think if they sign him to an extension, they need to make him get anchors tattooed on the guns.

But back to the chin

I wonder, on a 20-80 scale, where Alex’s chin rates on the tool scale, and how that is weighted in determining the “good face.”

Is that his "face" rating, or just the chin

I wonder why that didn’t make it into the “Dayton Game”

Taped the game

and just finished watching. Had a few observations that were probably mentioned in the game thread but thought I would ask-Does T-bag usually swing at high fastball? We are blacked out here for most games but got to see this one on WGN and I was shocked to see how often he would climb the ladder. Billy looks like he is coming back around. Thats great we need it. Alex looked good should some patience taking a few walks. John came through big time with that 2 run bomb. I was somewhat pissed that he couldn’t drive the runners in earlier in the game but he made up for it. Man there must not be any more irritating announcers than the Hawk. Pitching staff looked good.

still not sure how the offense ended up scoring so much

it was a typically annoying game until like the 6th inning

How they scored

I didn’t see the game, but from the box score, what stands out are:

5 walks

out of 9 hits, 4 went for extra bases

lets hope we get back to normal

as soon as possible. Run scoring is overrated. Playing the game the right way is most important.

Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.

Gil has 7 wins already?

As opposed to only 9 last year.

Slowly but surely he is learning how to win.

No more.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
