Why Is There
No game feed available yet? The game starts in 35 minutes and I’m stuck here screwing around until it becomes available. It’s too nice outside for this.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
lets go royals!!!
here we go again folks!!! loved last nights game! hope davies stays consistant and our hitters keep on hitting!!!
On a side note

Did you guys see John Lackey was tossed after two pitches today?
First pitch= behind Kinsler
Second pitch = Kinsler’s ribs
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
It's cool
He’ll be fined $7.99 and will never do it again. Go Bud!
The Allard Baird of incisive internet discourse.
yeah,
I think the ump needs to toss him there, probably. I know my logic doesn’t make sense, but the ump needs to “play it safe,” — either things are heated already, or Lackey’s control is bad coming off the DL. Either way, things could get ugly.
, but it’s really unlikely that he was trying to throw at him, right? That would be really stupid, even for a pro baseball player.

I don't know,
is there bad blood? What I read didn’t say anything about history, but they are in the same division. Could get interesting.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Why is Teahen not in
does Trey think the only way we lose this is with errors or something?

prob giving him a break vs. a lefty after a late night, and with a day game tomorrow
he’d probably sit out today or tomorrow since it’s been a while since he’s had a break

No pressure on Hiram
with the monster bats in the lineup. If he gives up more than 2 runs through 6 he probably takes a loss.

Will write a glowing (fabricated) story about it in the next two years.
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes
I always imagined Davies as a good ole boy
who probably walks around thinking he’s the man and scowling and stuff
but he looked like he was almost in tears last inning
when Trey rips into you on the mound,
I’d imagine it’s pretty scary.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
