Game 122 Open Thread - Royals at Yankees

Royalsreview_tiny by royalsreview on Comment 520 comments

Kansas 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.

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

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.

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.

This could be the worst 5 minutes for the 2008 Royals.

Possible loss, possible unsigned 1st round draft pick.

Why are we playing the shift?!?!!?!?

A SIMPLE GROUNDER TO THE RIGHT SIDE (two of the hits this inning) WOULD WIN THE GAME

Unbelievable

Junk hits and it about blew the lid off. That’s the type of the game that would crush me as a fan of this franchise.

Anyone else going to wait a few hours before over reacting?

Maybe the signing news is just coming late?

I remember

listening to the post-game last year and hearing that he’d signed

I hereby resign from this post.

Hammer.....is that really you

I fully understand how ridiculous that ? is…………..I think they sign him, but we won’t hear about it for awhile, several of the top 10 guys are still unsigned theoretically……..prob should have taken Smoak anyway.
