Boston Red Sox at Kansas City Royals, Aug 4, 2008 8:10 PM EDT


Gil Meche (4.22 ERA) faces a tough, but perhaps less than vintage Red Sox lineup tonight, while the Royals will contest Clay Buchholz (5.94 ERA). In his last six starts, Bucky's ERA is 8.49.

Last week, it was remarked during an ESPN highlight that "the sophisticated Boston fans" had embraced Jason Bay and had given him numerous standing ovations. Isn't fawning all over the new guy the opposite of sophisticated? New managers, players, coaches, etc. almost always get much love at the beginning. I'm sure the fans at the K gave Curtis Leskanic and Rondell White huge ovations in '03. It's utterly typical, even cliched. Factor in that in this case said new guy is a white-skinned All-Star (albeit one who looks like an alien) and is replacing someone who the local media had spent a week labelling as radioactive and who had been demonized, rightly or wrongly, by many in the game. Yes, oh so sophisticated! Just like how the "best fans in baseball" to our east go nuts over sac bunts...

First

Mike Lawl is not, in fact, in the starting lineup.

Clay Buckholz has been very beatable this year

His only positive has been his great 8.91 K/9. But he wipes out the benefit he gets from that by giving up a ton of walks 4.52 BB/9 and lots of hits. While pitchers often aren’t to blame for the hits they give up, Buckholz really is. His line drive percentage is huge (23.2%) giving him an expected BABIP of .352. His actual BABIP has been a little worse than that at .368. Given all of this, it is no surprise that his ERA is 5.94.

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

Those Boston fans were sophisticated

For accepting a Canuck like Bay. Us uncouth midwesterners probably woulda warned him “he ain’t from around here,” hurled beer cans at him and told him to “go back to where he came from.”

Frustrated rant:

There are too many spineless cowards in this city. You can’t turn around without running into a little shit in a Cubs hat or a Red Sox jersey or a Yankees t-shirt. Especially the motherfuckers who were BORN IN KANSAS CITY. Oh, not tough enough to be a fan of a bad team? Just abandon them and jump on a high payroll bandwagon.

You are not supposed to dislike the Royals because they suck, you’re supposed to like them regardless. And when the Royals finally do become good (God willing in my lifetime), it will be much more gratifying an experience for me than for you out-of-town shits who will probably jump on the Royals bandwagon anyway.

But in all fairness, I do wear a Cubs hat from time to time when my Royals cap is in the wash.

Boston announcers are idiots

“after Teahen, their only real home run threat, Jose Guillen, who a little while ago, was demanding a trade.”

No noticing that Gordon has almost as many as Guillen. And totally ignoring Jose’s denial of that ugly rumor (as always, the slander sticks better than the retraction).

I thought that if someone is suspended

their roster spot is “lost” to the team for that time period. TPJ’s suckiness notwithstanding, who could we send down with impunity to call up Tupman? Maier’s the only one I can think of that we can do without temporarily. Gordon, Butler and Aviles are all doing too well to keep out of the lineup. Maier’s doing well, but not so much so that he can’t be replaced for a bit (Gload, German).
