David, the guy just walked one of the hardest to walk guys in the league
I recommend swinging at the first pitch

that is pure comedy...
butler, callaspo and teahen chasing a foul pop…
We were fortunate
there were no fatalities.

That was nice.
The bullpen does not immediately blow the game.

come on Grandpa
move your freaking hands to the can. Poor lateral mobility.

In a way I wish they had scored a run
I feel that we can score runs on Rodney, not so much Lyons.

You Have To
Find a way to keep his bat in the 2 hole.

He's 2nd in the AL in Triples!
The only reason he isn’t leading off is because DDJ has 1 more

I think it is more a case
That Willie keeps his tongue in Trey’s 2 hole that keeps him playing everyday

The radio crew
is wishcasting the play of the game. Davis: Olivo home run. Stewart: Callaspo RBI double after a single by Olivo.
This is the first time I’ve been able to pick up radio signals from a parallel universe.

Anyone other reliever than the closer might have given it up
for example.

Anyway
Trey’s not bringing him in without a lead anyway, so he couldn’t have been there for the coup de walkoff.

could have been worse...
at least we didn’t have to stay up to watch them lose it in the 10th or 11th…
I feel so bad for Greinke
maybe it doesn’t bother him that much, but I can’t believe that.
"Things could always be worse." - Buddy Bell
greinke's probably busy being mad about the 4 walks
he’s been a royal long enough to realize that the runs they scored in the his last start are supposed to last the whole month.

And the Bullpen Builder Extrordinaire strikes again!
How many of you would love Glass if he fired Moore and Hillman outright after this game?

how many times will Trey say, in his post-game comments
we just didn’t square up to enough balls out there tonight

it appears that Trey isn't taking any baseball questions tonight

He Never Gives
Baseball answers anyway; it’s all about reading the bible.
