Should anything fishy happen with Bloomquist, its a good thing that Ponson is starting tonight, because that means there's a better chance of seeing Ho-Ram. And Ho-Ram has Bloomy's ex-Mariner back in all this.

4 game winning streak...
With Silva and Washburn for this series, we have a great shot at a little 6 game streak…

Fellas,
I don’t know how long I’ll be here tonight. I think I have a real-life friend coming over to watch with me tonight.
BUT.
Everyone please listen to Greg Schaum’s show tonight on KCSP (online here) after the game. He has some very not-good news to pass along about one of the Royals’ top prospects. I know what it is, but I can’t say yet. (/Carroll’d) Just listen, please.
WTF, self?
What is that!
thats like against human rights to say… i know something but im not telling
Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.
I just don't like that it has to be after the game
Kansas City Royals: your 2006 and 2007 NL Central champions!
Hochevar...
Staying in Omaha? All I can think after Mellinger’s latest post.
Starting to feel like I’m wrong about my earlier speculation about this being do-or-die for Sidney Ponson tonight. Folks, this has nothing to do with service time, so whenever you hear that mentioned, ignore it.
It has everything to do with maintaining rotation depth. I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just saying this is how it is.
No outs to go!

I still don't see why everyone is so shocked that Hochevar is in AAA
David Freaking Price is in AAA. Granted, he’s not being ‘blocked’ by Sir Sid, but Sonnenstine has been bad this year, why isn’t Price up?
BOOM! ROASTED!
Well, isn't Price like 20?
Hochevar is 25, and on a major league deal.
He needs to be up in the majors if he can cut it.
does it have to do with drugs? injury? give us a hint!

Hillman hasn't really screwed up lately...
As a matter of fact, he’s been making some nice desicions, and I think it’s because we haven’t been trash talking him as much. I think the anti-Hillman comments are bad luck.

What’s funny is that him getting hurt all of those years is almost a positive, in a weird sense. It makes it very, very, very unlikely that he ever did anything illegal or anything, and lets everyone appreciate him just for being awesome for real.

So, the one time that Dave Owen SHOULD send the runner, he doesn't.
I have no words.
It’s a really good thing that it is 6-0 right now, or, um, this board wouldn’t be all too pleased.
Yeah, watching the replay, maybe I was wrong.
And this probably isn’t the time, I suppose, to take chances like that.
Still, though.
Why send the runner?
You have the best RF arm in the game with no outs and the heart of your order coming up.ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to send the runner home there

Nope, Sir Sidney is still pitching. I think it’s a bit early to stat celebrating.

If the bases are loaded, Owen doesn’t send the second runner, and then we STILL have the bases loaded. Recognize intuitive greatness.
If you don't understand it, kill it.
Now, with the fly ball, it's a break even, unless Butler gets a hit.
