I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
atleast Treydaddy has set it up so Bert can be stranded on base multiple times.
"I can resist everything but temptation." - oscar wylde
I still don't get why he's so deadset on batting Callaspo after Jacobs.
Jacobs hits the ball far (when he hits it) and wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a guy that is on base in FRONT of him instead of the way Trey does?
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.

unfortunately he’s failing in the late stages too. :’(
Hmmm
Not sure on the everyday use of blommy in CF… but he deserves to be starting hitting .280 and playing solid all the way around.

Maybe not, but I can't blame anybody for not wanting to watch or support this team right now.
Trey’s quotes from post game in the paper are enough to turn people away.
Obviously, anyone that questions him or DM is part of the uneducated masses.
If you were thinking, you wouldn't have thought that.
Oh I dont blame them...
I just know that I am incapable of turning, so Im just going to suck it up and be as positive as possible.

Batting Sporqie 2nd
And sandwiching Hoagy and Jakers between Teahen and Callaspo while A-Gor sits cannot be an accident. It requires careful planning to fuck up a batting order like that.

Hochevar
“Luke Hochevar entered today 5-1 with a 3.97 ERA since returning from the Minors.” Saw this at Royals.com, I knew he’d been doing well, but I guess I hadn’t really looked at the figures. It’s a nice thing to see at a time when I’m looking for any reasons for optimism.
he's been good
as good as greinke the past month or so. Or maybe it seems that way becuase he’s been getting some run support.
good shit with some Luke props. And you wanted Andrew Miller to be a Royal?

what's more depressing?
that Coco Crisp, despite being on the DL for the past month, leads the Royals in walks?
Or that Jacobs is second?

Grudzeilanek signed with the Twins... MiLB deal...

Dayton Moore's off-season acquisitons #1, 2 on the team in walks
1) Crisp, 29 (still)

Mike Jacobs July line

Jacobs can make his SLG more hilarious with a homer in his next AB.
.194/.265/.581 would have to be one of baseball’s weirder lines

Royals promotion idea
you get tickets for a section, and the price you pay will be equal to the number of runs scored in that game
might be hard to enforce though, unless you use credit cards

i love that clip
it was john meyer, apparently, and I’m guessing he was only pretending to be a complete moron regarding baseball
but you never know — funny either way
John Meyer is really funny...
He did one episode of the John Meyer show…
He would wear a bear suit and interview people in the crowd, he kept saying I live John Maier, and this chick was getting furious… ITS JOHN MEYER!!!
Also there used to be a clip of him doing standup, but its been removed from youtube
