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.

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.

Tomorrow is last call for an O-Royals home game. Live the excitement of Tekila Kaiaiaihaiaiuai, Brett Bigler’s Mustache, Chad “Who?” Spann, and our favorite, Yash Yabooty.

My brother (posts here as “Steve Perry”) and I will likely be in the blue seats just to the third-base side of home, heckling everyone and probably making fun of opponents’ names. I’ll be wearing a Monarchs hat and he’ll be wearing drunkenness. I answer to “Porcus” or “Brad.” Come say hi, or just join in the heckling and sarcastic applause.

Gload: Fouls off a pitch down the middle, takes a borderline strikes, reaches out and makes weak contact.

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.

This game is all on the offense. Inability to advance and score runners with nobody out = fail. Can’t win like that.

He’s got the touch of death — Austin Kearns, for example

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.
