PrintThe Royals flirted with non-supporting Greinke early in the season a few times, but nothing like this.
This would be a painful, painful loss... luckily, there is still time.

I want the royals to win and you guys just want to have some posts where you make each other smile(like DeJesus). Thats not me, never will be. The bunt was the right move. Have you small few noticed that when I make a comment the majority agree with what i have to say. Im not acting like a douche at all. Im saying something you dont like so instead of saying im a douche gimme a reason why im wrong. You dont do that at all. You speak and its elevator music. Maybe you should do yourself a favor and consult a book on proper baseball. And about being “endearing” that makes my point. Im not hear to make everyone happy.

Why would you warn me? I made a point the bunt was the right idea and I get ridiculed. Just because I havent been on here long doesnt mean i dont make valid points.

On one hand you got no hit but you were probably gonna lose the game anyway against the redsox
on this hand we have our 6-0 pitcher lose a game where he pitched 8 innings of 1 earned baseball and we couldnt get one fucking run off JOE SAUNDERS
Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.
Yeah, this is bad
But being no hit is being no hit. That’s just flat out appalling in every way, against anyone.

A ticket to SNA in the “Will Call” at the Omaha Airport for you.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

I think his "intensity" needs another week or two in Omaha to get to the right levels

Are you people serious?
Two games and everybody’s jumping off the bandwagon? I’ll admit, I’m probably not one to talk, but to get so fired up after this? Yes, it sucks that we lost but is anybody surprised that our offense is faltering? We’re going to have stretches like this.
I hereby resign from this post.

There is a lot of exaggeration going on right now.
While tonight was a punch to the baby maker, it was hardly worse than getting no hit last year. Yes, our offense was very bad and very unlucky, but Greinke also benefited from some excellent defense behind him.
Very sad to see Greinke’s first loss, but come on guys.
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes
It's not just that they're faltering
it’s that they’re laying over. Swinging on pitches out of the zone early in the count, not doing the little things like bunting when they should or getting runners home when they should. It’s not just pathetic to watch this offense, it’s painful when they act like this.
i'm not jumping off the bandwagon
but seriously, if this game isn’t nausea inducing i don’t know what is
we have the story of baseball, pitch 8 1 run innings and we can’t score him one measly run. that is embarrassing, sad, and makes this extremely difficult to stomach.
realistically speaking
And honestly
We could’ve gotten pummeled 13-0 or something similar. Even without his best stuff, Greinke was able to go CG 1 ER. That is impressive as hell, and if we can take tomorrow’s game, a 1-2 record against the AL’s best team last year on the road is acceptable to me.
- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes
but they ARENT the same team
this is the beat up version of the angels without 3-4 of their best starters and without Vlad.. we should of taken 2 of 3 now we’ll be lucky if we win 1
Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.
agreed, where are the 3-2 counts?
Greinke went 3-2 with a ton of the Angels hitters tonight…. It as though either Saunders was just inducing grounds outs similar to Banny, or our offense didn’t want to get any elevation on the ball.
But, tomorrow is a new day, what time is the game?
It's a shame Grienke ever had to lose a game
But if it had to happen, I’m glad it happened like that, and not with him totally losing it.
And while I hate that it happened to the Royals, the way the Angels got out of the 8th inning jam was textbook-perfect. Nice bit of baseball to watch.
