PrintKansas City Royals at New York Yankees, Aug 15, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
The Yankees are desperate for wins, the Royals are just desperate.
The Royals are 4-3 against the Yankees this year.
As a side note, I get married tomorrow, so I won't be around for the game thread tonight.

congrats!!!
Never giving up on your team is what makes you a good fan.

yea
definite congrats.
Hopefully the Royals don’t do something epically bad in your honor tomorrow night.
Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.
Dear Trey
Mark Teahen is not a #3 hitter. But there’s not much he can do when DJ is apparently still hurt or hurt again. Grr..

A rainout is a definite possibility
We’re in the middle of a long, slow soaking rain. Could be a DH tomorrow or Sunday.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
Will, take it easy on the cocktails tonight
you get to drink for free tomorrow.
No, I don't
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Very doubtful but it would be nice
KC is 32 walks below anyone else in the league adding Dunn would singlehandidly move them to the middle of the pack.

And increase every pitcher's ERA
Especially Greinke and Bannister. I like Dunn, but you have to recognize his downside as well as his upside.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
by Scott McKinney on Aug 15, 2008 7:09 PM EDT up reply actions
how will he increase every pitcher's era? Billy at first and Dunn dh'ing?
It’s not like Guillen is a gold glover in left
He's Still Better
Than Dunn.

Apparently I missed no game action while volunteering with the Obama campaign. Whoo hoo.

Butler seems to have cooled off

Well done alex
offense continues to suck ass
winning records follow good bullpens
yes he did
but, I always wonder about bunting when our offense is as bad as it is. I know it gets guys in scoring position. But, we can’t give up outs.
I think it was an ok play there
Maier had look pretty overmatched in his previous two ABs

If only gordon and butler could get it going

I’ve got a bad feeling on this one. My feeling’s don’t mean much, but just don’t like this.
gee gil, don't give them all back at one time now

hmm I just remembered that Carl Pavano should be coming back next year...
Think we should try to sign him? low risk high return type of guy

Looks like we'll get 6 out of gil
would sure be nice if mahay was available

I was just thinking t hat
Then again, it’s hte yankees he could end up throwing 50 pitches

Or since Leo has come back, has he done the bluff move to lead runner at least every other pitch?

because we can go 6 innings with like 2 “fucks” and then we get in this situation and they appear every other post.
Am I seriously the only person who would rather have Robinson Tejada in here than nunez?
