PrintKansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins, Sep 11, 2008 1:10 PM EDT
100 losses is still in play...
By the way, the precious Twins are 22-32 against teams above .500. So how are they 80-65? They're 10-5 against Cleveland, 11-7 against the Tigers, 10-3 against our Royals, and 6-0 against the Padres/Nationals (14-4 in interleague overall).

I wonder what lineup will give KC energy today
It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird.
Last night
was the Eduardo Villacis of Royals lineups. Thanks for ruining this fucking organization Allaird. Looks like my prediction of 6 out of 23 is going to be pretty prescient.
I hereby resign from this post.

If Ross Gload
is anywhere near a KC ballpark with Royals on his jersey it better be as a god damn fan. Hillman is really starting to piss me off. What is the purpose of playing him?

Apparently
it has recently come to his attention that David Lee Ross doesn’t offer enough “slug”. He feels that he has found one of the Royals’ problems with scoring runs.
I can see him and Barney sitting around the office at 2am, racking their brains, why, Why, WHY aren’t we scoring more runs?!?. Then, all of a sudden, before game 145, they look at each other as the light bulb goes on at the same time for both of them – That’s IT! We don’t have enough “slug” at 1B.
Trey can’t sleep that night, as he eagerly anticipates calling DM when the cock crows, to tell him that he’s solved our offensive problems. (breathlessly) “Dayton, it’s Trey. Call me. I think I’ve found something with our offense.”
I hereby resign from this post.

He's back to slightly
acidic.
The last starter we had who straddled this line so regularly was Jose Lima.
This game
is starting eeirly similarly to the last two – we score a run or two early and sorta hang around, then the Twins keep scoring and we quit

not deep at all
Gameday shows it as shallow right-center.
Not what you want out of a 3-0 pitch.
BTW, all 4 pitches were inside part of plate, which makes me ask why, if he laid off the first 3, he wouldn’t lay off strike 1in hopes of getting something middle or away, which he seems to prefer most of the time.
Don’t tell NYRoyal, but naturally, I blame Barnett.
Barnett can't be helping much
but wasn’t he the coach last year when Butler was hitting well? It’s hard to figure out how much effect a coaching staff has sometimes.

Why isn't the...
…Hawaiian Guy in for defense? Isn’t he taller and doesn’t he perhaps have better range that Hillman’s pet at first? – TL
Smith At 2B?
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Gloadie has proven that he can save runs

but what about his defensive skills?

Honestly,
Kaaihue looked less than rangy to me during that 1 game he played last weekend.
strongly prefer
that Morneau not be given a chance at a walkoff (albeit, unlikely he could hit one off Soria)
Royals WIn!!!!! Lower Draft pick!!!!
Go Royals!
and that is the ballgame
go have a seat in the bullpen Joakin and we will call you in 5 days

Why make him go to the bullpen?
Why not send him home to spend a day or two with his family?

Interesting
Soria junked the slow curveball today. Nothing but fastballs and changeups.
Sorta like a starting pitcher might do the 1st time thru the lineup, then break out the slow curve the 2nd or 3rd time.
Not that I’m advocating he start next season.
Oh wait – that’s exactly what I ALWAYS advocate.
Funny, I was just about to post the same thing
If you look at his fangraphs, he’s pretty much the same pitcher, statistically, that he was last year. There’s no more room for “progress” in his one-inning skills…
You’ve got him on the cheap contract. Either try him in the rotation or trade him for hitting.

YES!! We win!!
Save # 36 for Soria – no Royal reliever has had more since 1993.

Oops
missed one there – he did throw one slow curve, at 0-2, to Casilla
Can't let Alexi Casilla beat you

Well crap
I completely missed this game and I’ve been at school all day. That would have been so much more entertaining than teaching today.
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
