Wow, I didn't know the Royals controlled Arlington
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
i missed the playoffs (i dont know how)
in my main fantasy baseball league so i dont have much else to devote my attention to baseball-wise to other than the royals.
It remains to be seen if this is a good or a bad thing.
Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.
Gator was one of the hero's yesterday
Go Royals!
Seriously
Gator is not even close to being our biggest problem. He is a 4th outfielder playing because MM got jacked in the face with a baseball.
Believe it or not, David DeJesus has been one of our biggest villains since the ASB.
Banny being Banny.
you are like a human Barbasol roadside ad

A fact I'm aware of
Gathright, even with DDJ’s slump is being out OPSed by David by over 200 points. Joey Gathright is terrible at hitting and it is depressing to me that he continues to be in the lineup.
A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.
FELDMAN!

White sox lost back in April today
Go Royals!
Okay.
THAT IS THE WHITEST TONY PENA JR. I HAVE EVER SEEN.
I am not even Hispanic and I find that insulting. We couldn’t just change it to Jason Smith bobblehead night?
Banny being Banny.
As long as this game stays competitive through 5
I’m making it my goal to make sure we get to an overflow thread tonight.
Are you going to do a play by play?
Go Royals!
i love ranger games
I would rather watch KC lose 10-8 than 4-2

Basically said don't count on him getting a call up because he's not on the 40 man
said it would take a lot of moves and he wasn’t sure if it would work out. He’d like to get Shealy some AB’s and wasn’t sure how Kila would fit in. Bukaty had some fun with that.
Yeah, they were looking at the 40 man and found many ways to create room.
The first one was getting rid of a certain back up shortstop.
white bread?

Ryan already getting on a soapbox.
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A GREAT HITTER WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ODDNESS OF AN 0-10 HITLESS STREAK.
Methinks he has been watching the Royals too long.
Banny being Banny.
screw the kid
give albert his bat back
Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.
Any guesses on when (what time) the overflow thread
would need to be kicked in? I’ve got to leave, unfortunately.

im taking it upon myself to prove that wrong

I hope we can win tonight.
I need this.
Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.
the countdown is on
45 minutes til Hosmer debut. Hes probably taking some warmup swings in the parking lot. Drinking from a water fountain and maybe listening to his ipod.

my prediction
he forgot to cash the check back in FL and his parents cant find it amongst all the junk in his room.

You could tell me we've been outscored by 200 runs
by Chico’s Bail Bonds, and it wouldn’t surprise me.

Okay, sadly, I'm out
I have some pre-returning-to-school-bullshit-mingling-that-I-cannot-escape-which-sucks. Go Gil! Go Blue! The game thread should kick in if necessary.
A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.
Anyone else read Rany today?
He’s wrote about the Teahen to 3rd move and how it signals the end of Gordon’s 3B days. I just started, but it’s pretty interesting so far.
yeah i did. not sure if i agree with him. but it's an interesting possibility, i guess.
by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Aug 25, 2008 8:40 PM EDT up reply actions
I see his side of it.
But, does anyone really think they’ll try Gordon in the OF? I see it as more of a move to show that Teahen can play all over the place, hoping to up his trade value.
Gotta give Mark credit
for at least getting part of him in front of that one, right?
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
god can the radio crew quit suckin off michael young

don't blame gil they do this to everyone
the offense is making feldman look like a cy younger

Seriously
Maybe yelling “FU—!” so everyone on this side of I-70 can hear you isn’t the best move when you’re trying to restructure your image.
Although I’d rather have their headcase than ours (Guillen)
Banny being Banny.
Bradley is just fishing for Ryan to mouth off about it.
He’ll probably do it every time he gets to the plate. Then, when Ryan says something he’ll go after him.
Hell if I was Split
i would probably be baiting him.
Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.
Blake Wood should probably be in the majors next year
45 pitches thru 2 innings he seems to have the formula down.

According To Ryan
Meche throws a 91 MPH change.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
Aww, Cameron Frye's on the DL
How are we supposed to have our usual Ferris Bueller conversation now?

You gotta love these guys!
Nelson Cruz on pace for a cycle.
As Milton Bradley would say, FUCK THIS SHIT! I’M OUT FUCKERS!

Shit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cruz is Texas version of Aviles

another clutch chopper hit by gathright
Go Royals!
Ryan, you fucking dumbass
Ryan’s surprised that the Rangers were playing in like it was a one-run lead in the bottom of the 9th with a runner on 3rd and less than two outs.
With Gathright at the plate, this surprised him.
GOD.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
OH HEY CELEBRATE
Mike Aviles has finally taken over the starting SS position on baseball-reference, since he finally passed TPJ in innings at SS last night.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
wow moving the runners actually helped for a change

Question about the Soria shirt thing...
Why did the Royals have a vote about Soria’s nickname? I thought Mexicutioner was pretty well documented and accepted for him. Are they scared of using it?
Kila leads the entire minor leauges in walks
Go Royals!
he should know he doesn't play in the red sox org
this is KC walks mean nothing

doesn't it make sense when playing the Rangers
to make their starting pitchers throw lots of pitches so we can get into the soft underbelly of their bullpen? or am I thinking crazy again?

He'll never amount to anything
unless he stops getting on base every time up and starts making some productive outs.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Guillen is swinging at the first pitch every time, it seems
if he hits it well, homer
if he hits it poorly, GIDP
if he misses it, eventual K
he stinks, stinks, stinks – $12 million for this?

Hey, Peralta got Cruz out
Meche never did that.
(If the game becomes a lost cause, let’s groove the kid a triple, what the heck.)
Chaim Mattis Keller New York City's # 1 Royals fan!
all he needs is a triple
for a cycle. Has anyone ver done that is their MLB debut?

if he does it
it’s only fitting it’s against the royals

Hosmer
Is him getting hit by the first pitch a message from the other team? $6 million this kid. Whack.

Hey, Peralta just gave up a home run.
Anyone ever seen that happen before? I am stunned.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
I think Peralta is the second coming
of Albie “the Pez dispenser” Lopez.

Kinda Bizzare with Tejeda pitching to Texas
Think Bradley is putting in extra effort against the Royals?
I can't believe anyone is in the stands
Seriously, the Royals have the greatest fans in the world. Why would anyone be at this game, particularly in the 8th inning?
Well, you know
you can tell so much about a player from three plate appearances.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
ohh....thought he played in a game before this....
Im more curious about his defense and footwork around the bag.
Im pretty sure there wont be alot to be found out abouthis bat this late in the minor league season…
1 extra base hit against Feldman and the Rangers
we should be ashamed of ourselves for watching this

Just checked: Gaithright has 2 doubles, 1 triple, and 0 HRs in 252 ABs. That's incredible.

we are 56-74. Chalk this up as a loss. 56-75. 31 Games remaining. To not lose 100, we have to win 7. That means 7-24. Can we do it?
