The TRUE Hero of Last Night's Game

The dark knight revealed

Yeah, yeah, the homeruns were big, but what about the fact that Farnsy didn't get a real chance to blow the game? I mean how many of you thought "oh crap Farnsworth is pitching? Well, there goes the neighborhood"? I actually cheered when he had to come out of the game, knowing that it provided the Royals with a better chance of winning. So cast a vote or drop a comment. Either way let the RR nation know your thoughts.

Game was to close

to let Farnsworth pitch longer than the one batter. With the being said hope he is healthy for the next time we need him in mop up.

You cheered for an injury?

Cheering for an injury isn’t cool. How about you just cheer for him to pitch well. Lately, the rest of the bullpen hasn’t exactly been flawless and Farnsworth hasn’t been terrible. Yes, I wouldn’t have brought him into the game at that point either, but I’m still going to be rooting for him.

I Would Not

Cheer for an injury, merely the fact that Farnsworth only pitched to one batter.

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

Brayan HR

Perhaps not the most important factor in last nights game to help win it, however it was the most inspirational. A guy, riding pine all season, comes in, and shows his team mates instead of the multiple and infuriating ways to lose, but rather an exclimation mark way to win.

Brayan have your spot light!! (next time tell Zack to go talk to everyone about hitting it yard, don’t keep it to yourself and Olivo)

Did anybody see the interview with Brayan after the game?

He was so jolly and humble. I really like rooting for those kind of guys because they actually look like they’re living their dream. Let’s hope we get to see more interviews like that.

He looked like a kid in a candy store

And it was very nice to see. Definitely makes you want to root for the kid even harder.

Now DeJesus on the other hand…if I see that smug sonofabitch raise the corners of his mouth even one little bit just one more time, then I want to see his nonchalant, “who cares about winning?”, non-competitive-attitude-having ass on the next bus out of town.
