Game 144 Open Thread - Royals (61-82) at Twins (79-65)

Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins, Sep 10, 2008 8:10 PM EDT


Ugh. C'mon Trey.



 

Gload at first, Guillen DHing. Brilliant, Trey. I could almost handle one of the two, although it goes against my calls for Shealy Now!

But playing them both? It's like he's trying to be annoying.

Really, any pitcher that has shut us down this year – literally fastball after fastball over the middle of the plate, slightly elevated – this team cannot hit fastballs. All you have to do is challenge, and we will make outs.

Not that I'm the master or anything

I wanted Baker, who the Twins jerked arounduntil this year. I think he’s the best other than Liriano.
