This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
Even quicker

Wow, given the available players this lineup makes sense.
Aviles is fine at the top against lefties. Buck hits lefties better than Gload (a lot better, and sitting him against them partially accounts for his decline in hitting this year). But him at catacher, DH Olivo, Billy at first. German should be starting every game against lefties the rest of the season.
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

Michael Phelps's 12,000-calorie diet

And if Billy Butler eats 15 Baconators a day… well, he does.

A modest proposal
The “calorie” you see on labels actually refers to kilocalories. I say we start enforcing proper use of the term “calorie.” Thus,
Baconator = 840,000 calories
BK Triple Whopper with Cheese = 1.25 million calories
That sounds way fatter and scarier and maybe people would eat them less.
… but I wouldn’t eat them less. They’re too delicious.
mmmm.....whopper with cheese...

Triple
I ate one once. I had skipped lunch and spent the day moving. I was hungry.
The Triple Whopper with Cheese, with fries and a Dr Pepper, provided all 2,000 recommended calories for me that day.
I don't know how many calories

Bannister is going to get shelled tonight or pitch a gem
HE WON’T BE MESSIN’ AROUND
SUPER AGGRESSIVE PITCHER STYLE
realistically speaking
I haven't been around Royals Review
So maybe this is kind of a dupe comment, but did anyone else see his interview after his last start, where he talked about abandoning his changes and just trying to get the team a win?
It made me a little sad. Nobody on the team can make me sad like Sad Banny.
Well, if his changes are failing miserably and getting his ass shelled
Maybe it was time to go back to what worked last year.

Anyone else getting the scathing political ads?
It reminds me of Nebraska’s senate race a couple years back, where the ads basically went like this:
“Pete Ricketts is a piece of shit. … I’m Ben Nelson and I approve this message.”
I'd pay good money
to see a Nebraska politician do that, only calling Tom Osborne a piece of shit. I could entertain myself for months just on the fallout.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
No need
Since an unprecedented outbreak of common sense led to his defeat in the ’06 gubernatorial race, he has retired to the the quiet, thankless post of God of All Athletics.
Oh, you misunderstand
I LIKE Doctor Tom. I’d just like to see what would happen to the poor bastard dumb enough to run that ad.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Well, Husker fans are collectively a fickle mistress
if the foozball team doesn’t turn things around (read: win national championships) within a few years, our murderous gaze may fall on him. But nobody will be calling him a POS soon; we’re all excited about the coming season under the leadership of Coach Bo “Ner” Pelini.
Wow. Mizzou arrogance knows no bounds

As a proud student of the University of Nebraska at Omaha (“that other one”), I hope to see a Mavericks vs. Huskers season opener. I bet both Memorial Stadium (capacity 85,000ish) and Caniglia Field (capacity 9,500) would sell out.

What I find amusing
is that if the Rangers had runners at second and third with nobody out and Banny got out of it, not one person would be crowing about how badly the Rangers offense sucks. It would be all about Banny.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Um hello, t he Rangers offense DOESN'T SUCK
It’s one of the best in baseball. We completely let him off the hook there – he didn’t strike anybody out, he didn’t make any amazing pitches, we just had 3 horrible at bats.
realistically speaking
Un HELLO
It doesn’t matter. You would still give the credit to Banny rather than criticizing the Rangers for failing to capitalize.
Dude, you’ve been frothing at the mouth when we suck all season. And you’re notoriously silent when things are going well, which just cracks me up.

Of course I'm silent, this team is horrible
The on field talent is pathetic. Why would I get excited when we do well, which is a fluke the majority of the time? I get excited when Meche, Greinke, Aviles, Soria, Gordon and Butler do well. Everybody else on this team is at or below replacement level. It’s a freaking joke. And no, I wouldn’t give hte credit to Bannister – I’d most likely say he got incredibly lucky.

Are you watching the location of his pitches? He’s money right now. Good pitches get good hitters out.

Alright, let's go throuhg that inning
Olivo: flails helpless at several changeups, before popping up a fastball right down the middle
Gload: Fouls off a pitch down the middle, takes a borderline strikes, reaches out and makes weak contact.
Teahen: Typical teahen AB – fails to do anything with 2 very hittable pitches, get himself out chasing the third.
We had pitches to execute on, we just failed.

Oh, okay, yeah, he's pitching with very good command of the zone

why is it an unearned run
if the pitcher makes the error
Because the team scoring the run didn't "earn" it.
It’s a screwy fabrication, insofar as the only purpose behind “unearned runs” is to judge the pitcher, but the definition of an “unearned run” is essentially one the offense scores as a result of an error. That the pitcher committed it is irrelevant to the definition.

do you think
they can turn over that much of the roster in one year? I could see like 10 new players MAYBE but to get 19-20 new guys? I know you’re exaggerating but I think it would take at least three years to really get the thing turned over proper…
I’d keep:
DeJesus
Callaspo
Aviles
Butler
Gordon
Meche
Greinke
Soria
Ram Ram
Mahay
Hochevar
Nunez
for sure, and we’d probably end up keeping Gload, German and one of Bannister or Davies. That leaves 9-10 spots to fill. That’s a lot of turnover.
I hereby resign from this post.

I think of those last 4
Gload’s the only definitely worthless one> Banni’s been horrible since April or May. But he’s cheap, and I still think can be back of the rotatoin innings eater at least until minors guys are ready.
Davis has the profile of a guy who could be successful in the pen.
German might be crowded out, but despite the Royals misuse of him this year, is a very useful bench player who can start for stretches.

Fuck, They're Talking
Kahuna at 1B but Gload in LF; what part of no Gload do they not understand?
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Using my awesome powers of comprehending the underlying message
I’d say “Kila at 1B, Gload in LF” was the speculation.
;D
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Right, and Butler gets sent down for his attitude problem
