Watching Greinke get roughed up a little bit by the D'backs, and thinking he could be even better if being better was No. 1 on his list.

Rob really is a hopeless pessimist

what does that even mean?

I’m not a Neyer hater, but I seriously don’t know what he’s ~~talking~~ tweeting about there

Grienke just looks like he doesn’t care. And I believe he really does. He was off tonight. He wasn’t very sharp. Didn’t locate well, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. He sprinted to back up bases, he showed frustration tonight when he missed with pitches… what more do you want?

If Neyer has ever watched ZG throw before, you know that tonight he showed some body language that was in frustration.

in the post game tonight greinke said he's not as good as a pitcher as he was pitching at the beginning of the year

something about being better than he is now, but not as good as he was then

realistically speaking

Don't even tell me you can make heads or tails

of anything Zack has ever said, anyway. </end sarcasm>

Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.

Morphing into a cranky sports talk show caller. ZACK DOESN’T TRY HARD ENOUGH!!! And why are ticket prices so high? Thanks, I’ll listen off the air.

Well, Rob, what you said makes no sense whatsoever, and you seem to be an idiot...

but I appreciate the call.

If Zack really CARED

he’d go punch Guillen in the face and ask that Olivo never catch his games anymore.

The guy is very good, but he can’t overcome 4 runs given up by substandard defense AND an offense that can’t hit it’s way out of a paper bag. It’s no wonder he’s frustrated.

Neyer has no idea what he is talking about.

No one else

knows what Neyer is talking about either

Hahaha

Okay Rob. Really, you’re a good writer who’s had some good points about the Royals’ flaws….but picking on Greinke for lack of effort? Um….fuck yourself?

Neyer's blog entry for today

let’s not go nuts about something inscrutable he dashed off on Twitter. Here’s today’s blog entry on Zack and the AL Cy Young contenders.

I Think I

Understand what he was trying to say, however inarticulately he stated it. Zack has shown that baseball might not be the highest priority in his life. Hell, if I was hooked up with his girlfriend and had millions of dollars, I might not have baseball as my number one priority, either. He’s a human being.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
