Watching Joey Gathright hit is unbearable

I’d honestly rather see Tony Pena hit.

RYAN SHEALY NOW!

Seriously, his promotion is long overdue.

It is crazy, Moore brought him in to be his 1B, didn't he?

he’s HIS guy, now that he’s showing that he might be able to be that guy, how can you not let him try it??

It its a roster problem, shouldn’t he have thought about that long ago. I mean, he signed Gload in the offseason, had he already given up on Shealy?

My mother's basement is better than YOUR mother's basement!!

by Royal Kingdom on Jul 23, 2008 2:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Ryan Shealy

He’s younger

He has the semblance of power.

He fields his position pretty well.

Moore gave up two TWO pitchers (the commodity of baseball) to get him.

Yea, I don’t get it either. Any reasonable GM should be able to see Ross Gload is a stop gap guy who belongs on the bench, not a guy who plays every day.

Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com

by RoyalsRetro on Jul 23, 2008 2:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Obligatory repetition

Hillman thinks Gload is an everyday 1B, and he’s not coming out of the lineup unless Moore signs Lou Gehrig.

Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.

I'd settle for Wally Pipp.

FSN has a runner on first already.......Granderson is still batting....

i guess they’ve got a ghost runner on first…perhaps left over from last night?

by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Jul 23, 2008 2:12 PM EDT   0 recs

FSN technical side is brutal

I think they have one guy in the truck trying to do it all, switch cameras, keep up on outs, count and baserunners, dude needs some help.

My mother's basement is better than YOUR mother's basement!!

by Royal Kingdom on Jul 23, 2008 2:17 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

In fairness

Lately he’s been awfully busy putting up baserunners while the Royals are pitching. He has a demanding job.

(For those of you stuck at work wondering what I'm yammering about)

He just totally faked out Granderson and kept him from going 1B-3B.

Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.

On the minus side, we allowed a run.

brilliant

I love giving up the run this early, I mean our offense is pretty hot right now

How can you go wrong with Rossey Gloadright in the lineup and Grudzielanek batting 3rd.

Maybe next

The Tigers will have the pitcher fake a throw to third, then whip around and throw it to first!

yeah, $7 outfield seats for college students this afternoon is probably good for boosting the attendance above 13,000

Should Ryan Lefebvre gear up the “Aviles or Pena” debate again?

Another thing...can someone explain

why Olivo didn’t start last night instead of today? further evidence of Hillman’s belief that the world is flat.
