PrintOakland Athletics at Kansas City Royals, Sep 4, 2008 5:10 PM EDT
Its the finale against those dastardly A's. The phrase "perfect storm" has been so over-used that it now refers to simply two bad things happening at once. That being said, or in those words, as it were, my moving and the changes to the Royals schedule have been a perfect storm of blogging difficulty.

What is with all the playing time for Olivo?
Is he being rewarded for his outburst.
No, I'm pretty sure he is being rewarded...
For having some of the most insane lefty/righty splits in MLB.
I refuse to set up a signature....DAMMIT
Interesting fact:
Olivo splits: 910 OPS L and 658 OPS R
Guillen splits: 952 OPS L and 658 OPS R
Butler splits: 1.019 OPS L and 620 OPS R
It would be interesting for someone to breakdown all the games the Royals have won
And the throwing side of the starting pitcher. I’d imagine our record would be something like 50-1 against lefties

Here's what I don't understand...
How in the WORLD is Aviles not owned in 100% of Fantasy leagues?
I mean do .850 OPS shortstops grow on trees now?
and all teams need at least one, if not 2.
I mean who are they using instead? Nick Punto(who is strangely used in almost the exact amount of leagues that Aviles isnt used in)???

still, I’m sure Banny would rather have Aviles and the occasional hiccup than Pena and perfect D (even though he doesn’t even do that)

One thing I sense when I watch him bat is,
there are some at-bats in which he just seems destined to strike out. Sometimes he looks like he’s absolutely in control of the strike zone and knows exactly what pitch he wants. But then sometimes, often in the same game as those good ABs, he looks hacky and lost at the plate. Maybe it’s my imagination, but it really looks like two different guys up there from PA to PA.

Prediction: DDJ is going to be the next Sweeney
Good, but not “good enough” for fans. Seems to be hurt too much, and somehow gets blamed for it. Never appreciated quite enough, even after he’s gone, despite being one of the best players on the team while he was around.
Not as extreme as Sweeney, but the same kind of thing.

I’m not kidding either. No Kila Monster.
Rowdy Hardy Fan Club member.
fucking seriously?
Fuck this lineup. No Kila. No Shealy. There aren’t too many PAs to split between those 2…a game with neither of them should never happen.

Okay, I've had it
only Hillman would go out of his way to have a double header, where the first game goes into extras, where he manages to finally not play Gload (YAY), but only gets Shealy in one game, and Kila gets in neither…
And of course “he” wins the first

Who needs a RF?
We should just put all three OF in Cf anyway.

To work inside to righties and away to lefties.

Hillman must feel bad for the A's. Because with those 3 together,
we really only have 6 innings with a chance to score.
That actually makes a sense
It’s all the starts he gotten against righties (against whom he’s been worse than Teahen this year) that make no sense

I'm sure glad the Royals are accomodating Team Leader and Stud Hitter Jose Guillen
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
Where the hell is Kila?
Didn’t Hillman explicitly say he would start the 2nd game?
realistically speaking
i don't understand why he would say that and then go back on it
realistically speaking
Did he actually say it?
Or did we hope he said it?
Kansas City Royals: your 2006 and 2007 NL Central champions!
They said it on the radio...

Explanation: Trey wants to use Kila as a pinch-hitter
he didn’t use him last game because once you’ve used a guy, he can’t re-enter the doubleheader again. Right?
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
I'm awaiting Rany's post
telling us that Aviles at 3B means they’ve given up on Teahen.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
I didn't even know aviles could PLAY 3b
realistically speaking
Oh yeah, he played there
and 2nd and short in Omaha. He also loves little kids and cured cancer last week.
He can, and he will.
But he’s waiting just a while longer, so we can all learn a valuable lesson about international economics.
Can he field-dress a moose?
‘cause really, that’s guiding my entire voting principle in November.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
How many throws of his ended up in the stands?
The throwing seems to be his problem for the most part
realistically speaking
Oh, for the love of god
Ryan and Split talking about Sweeney not being in the lineup: “Maybe the manager just overlooked that, not realizing the fans might want to see him”
Because, you know, managers make their lineup decisions based on who the fans want to see. Especially in road games.
Dumbfucks.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Why did Davies have a 1-2-3?
That is not right.
Go Royals!
I expect 7 shutout innings
realistically speaking
Cliff Pennington must be a computer-generated rookie name

Aviles wont stop cant stop

I had a very good Hoagie
early today. Maybe that will help Guillen not be useless.

And every Hoagy grounder that makes it through gets the Royals a little closer to being able to trade Guillen’s contract to some idiot…

Now we give up the lead...
go through 18 innings tied at 4, and then win.

not really.
One was our softball team and the other was a group of guys at work. We drink beer and draft. Then I just try to make sure everyone i’m starting isn’t injured.
Sounds perverted to me.
This site needs more traditional fanly values, I say.

Football update:
The Redskins look like they will be one of the most horribly coached teams in the NFL. They are doing up-the-gut running plays and long huddles when they need two scores late in the fourth quarter (4+ minutes).
Jim Zorn is not a clock management guru.
(I’m following the Royals too. I hope Bale comes in to close the door [LOL!])

k now for the dangerous Davies 5th
Go Royals!
Butler still put one close to the track.
I’d read a month or so ago on Baseball Prospectus a remark made about Moustakas. He flew out to shallow CF and a few of the scouts kind of whistled and looked around at each other. The writer looked at one and asked what happened, why were they acting shocked. The scout had told him, the hang time on the fly ball was one of the longest he’d seen at that level in his time as a scout. He believed that showed good contact and great power.
Anyways, I say that because that’s what I see when Butler flies out a lot of the time.
Cortes has five walks for NWA
Yet we are still tied 1-1 in the 6th. Go Naturals.

Maybe the Royals should let Zack and Meche start more against lefties

not to be mean
but maybe you should leave and come back more often. At least once every inning.
