Game 108 Open Thread - Royals (48-59) at A's (53-52)

Royalsreview_tiny by royalsreview on

Kansas City Royals @ Oakland Athletics


Your pitching matchup features a surging Gil Meche (4.31 ERA) versus Greg Smith (3.90 ERA). Both are from Louisiana, Meche from Lafayette, Smith from Alexandria.

How Jose Guillen feels about this, I cannot say.

Grudzielanek hitting third again.

while Butler hits 5th and Gordon 6th. I don’t see the logic there still.

And why the hell do the Royals have a starting firstbaseman who hits 9th? That is just crazy madness.

I wonder if Kia’s promotion to Omaha means that Shealy is on the way up to the bigs again?

I see it

Grudz is one of the best in the AL vs Lefties. I don’t understand why Billy isn’t playing 1b and have olivo DH. Did Trey really think he played that awful when he was there, what did I miss?

I thought he was motivated by boos

Perhaps we need some west coat RRers to get to the game to boo him.

Jose Guillen in the field again

Christ almighty… this isn’t going to get any better, is it?

So, when does Jose start throwing his stuff at the dugout after getting mad at a manager? Like he did in 2004.

by BHWick on Jul 29, 2008 10:04 PM EDT   0 recs

The thing I hate about Guillen

is he had every chance to make a nice clean denial of this, lay blame somewhere else, come off as a victim, and then he goes and says something along the line of “it better have not been someone on this team. I’m going to find out who did it, and it will be bad if it was someone on this team.”

Well no shit it would be bad. But you could have avoided that and not caused any more stir in the clubhouse.

Of course not

He’s in left field silly.

Nice catch Buck!

Think how many free outs pitchers get in that stadium with the huge foul territory.

The amount of foul territory is just ridiculous there

Beane has to find a way to exploit it with the right pitchers and fielders…think of how many extra “gimme” outs they get per year there.
