Game 122 Open Thread - Royals at Yankees

Royalsreview_tiny by royalsreview on Comment 520 comments

Kansas City Royals @ New York Yankees


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.

Hopefully the Royals don’t do something epically bad in your honor tomorrow night.

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.

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.

Glad I got here just in time to see my favorite managerial move ever

the late-inning pinch-run for the big bat DH with the crappy guy who can’t hit.

The only thing that would make it sweeter is if it was TPJ.

He will get signed.

Called up too soon, underperform, switch positions and eventually settle into mediocrity.

Feel better?

Banny being Banny.

the deadline sucks

I think Gordon and Hochevar were later signs in non-deadline years
