Royals Infect Mariners With Scurvy

I'm not sure how the Royals managed to get sixteen non-homer hits off of the Mariners tonight, including thirteen singles, but they did, and the won.
Meanwhile, Sidney Ponson, who had slid from "tough luck loser" to "sucky pitcher" over the last few weeks, reaped the benefits, and had his best start of the season. (And probably his best start since this game, back in last May.)
After going 3-5 against the Mariners in '06, and 3-6 in '07, the Royals have currently won eight of ten against Seattle dating back to the beginning of last season.
Could someone update us with a new territorial map of the key swing state of Wyoming? I made this one last season, and it's now out of date.

Oh, and how did the Royals get 17 hits off of the Mariners?
Because the Royals have a so-so offense and Silva and Olson suck. The Royals LD% in this game was huge.

don't forgot their awesome defenders...
at every position except the middle infield, where some balls occasionally go.
Branyan’s not horrible at first, I guess.

Right. I think Will was saying that the Royals had 1 HR and 16 non-homer hits. I’m not sure what the point of that was. I guess it’s to point out that the Royals got a lot of singles, so it wasn’t really an impressive hitting performance for the Royals. So take out the HR, the doubles, the line drives and the walks and the Royals really didn’t do much offensively tonight.

I think that saying he'll be up this year
is more of a “swagger” thing. the way I see it, all pro athletes have to have a little bit of that cockiness, or they wouldn’t stick with it. He’s aware of what all the scouts/prospect hawks/whomever say about him…

Unfortunately, he has too much swagger
My read is that he thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread and now he’s acting like a petulant child who isn’t getting what he wants. He needs to understand that he’s just a prospect who has a lot of hurdles to jump before he’s to be taken seriously.

The weird thing is,
to talk to him, he actually seems like he’s got his shit together. He has always made time for me as a writer, even though I’m a nobody and he could easily get away with big-timing me. Seriously, at no time has he ever come across as this raging egomaniac type of character, and I’ve talked to him a fair amount even outside of interviewing him.
This whole thing is a bit of cognitive dissonance, because I have seen him as one of the “nice guys” all spring.

things that stood out to me:
ponson is a cat on the mound
ponson really didn’t pitch that well, but he got quite lucky
olivo looks as bad at the plate in person as on tv
callaspo is a really aggressive hitter
watching kyle farnsworth have a mini meltdown in the ninth inning was getting laughs from everybody in the stadium
kansas city baseball fans are some of the nicest in history – seriously a standing O for ponson. respect

i'd have to disagree
i was in section 212 (3rd base line, front row of the top level of the lower bowl) and it was a pretty respectful moment. farnsworth, however, damn near got lynched. it was intense. people were very, very angry with him from the moment he came in, and i’m pretty sure the announcer didn’t say his name. i almost wish he would have blown 4 or 5 runs so we could send him down for a few years and trade him for a bag of balls like he-who-must-not-be-named.

Schaum's speculation
He thinks the nature of the conflict between the two camps is who Gutierrez should be working out/rehabbing with. The Royals want their guy, Gutierrez wants it to be a Boras guy. I think Boras started this by stoking a fire under Gutierrez to get him to switch agents and sign with him. So Boras starts this and “stands by” his new client. Then he lets Gutierrez calm down and tells him that it’s in his best interest to do what the Royals say but promises he’ll get him big money down the line.

Idea for ironic K-signs for Zack
I suggest someone use H’s instead of K’s or Z’s. As in Zachhhh… etc. People will assume you’re an idiot and call you on it. Hilarity ensues.

except when you try to put the hot pocket in the sleeve and it catches the edges all the way down
scattering hot pocket crumbs all over the floor

Bob Davis really isn't THAT bad
He is enthusiastic, which is more than you can say about Crabby Matthews, who gets cranky when games go longer than two hours.

I know a mentally challenged adult who is often enthusiastic too
I wouldn’t want him calling Royals games.

I guess I don't understand the "enthusiastic" comments
Perhaps I was always already comatose whenever he and Split were on tv together. I mean that was a seriously boring broadcast. blah, blah, blah monotone.

and at the first hint of anything going against the royals
he’d go into this tone like someone just kicked his dog and it was the saddest of sads.

Well, Davis was even worse on TV.
So there’s that.

Also the next man who speaks ill of Denny Matthews
Is going to get introduced to Chuck Norris’ beard-fist.

speaking of which
it seems like we’ve gotten onto an even better roll since Jacobs got rid of his ridiculous beard. Can one of the stat genius’s here do a correlation study on that?
