what's a bigger WTF decision
Podsednik as the leadoff DH, or Bloomquist/Brayan batting 1-2
Graduate with a B.S. from the Dayton Moore School of Stats Analysis
Hmmmm....
Bloomquist batting #1 is worse than Podsednik, but Brayan hitting high up vs. LHP isn’t the end of the world.
Callaspo should be hitting 1 or 2 against LHP fasho every time

I like Brayan batting 2nd
why not bat callaspo bat 1st? He’s not fast, but it’s not like Billy is gonna run em down on an extra base hit.
so, would a place that used to be a car lot work as a drive-up/take-out place? (there’s actually two places where you can drive up and order from your car and eat it there on the street that I saw the “for lease” car lot on)

the writer/creator/director made an original make of this, and peter jackson found out about him, when he was set to make the Halo movie, that fell through and Jackson gave him like 10$ mil. atleast thats what my brother said, and he is a imdb.com fanatic, take it was a grain of salt though. its all hearsay honestly.

Moore just gave Hillman a 5 year extension

Question:
Why was Bannister in the game to face AJ? He was over 100 and laboring.

have to admit
Mike Jacobs is the best pure power guy we’ve had in KC lately. It’s just that he’s not a good contact guy.

that is a good comparison
especially when it comes to hitting a curve ball.

He's a human windmill
but when he makes contact its something to see.
oh great.. colon..
"Does this furniture polish have alcohol in it?" ... "mmm, tastes like i might die."
He COULD bring in Jamey Wright
its not like there are a slew of great options.
I was just thinking that it would be better to bring in Gordon
just so Hilldawg wouldn’t have to do a 5 man switch

I'm waiting for Mad Max
to appear and bump off Ozzie and AJ in the apocalyptic finish.

how often does the royals bullpen come in
and NOT give up a leadoff walk?

John Bale????
OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT

I sense
a slight bit of trepidation here?

Sadly
This applies to everyone in the bullpen who is not named Soria

Ramirez Bunts
Colon’s ERA drops .07

note to Linebrink
giving Mike Jacobs a 94mph fastball down the middle is a bad idea
Graduate with a B.S. from the Dayton Moore School of Stats Analysis
what does john bale bring to the table other than a 86mph fastball?
and an offspeed pitch nobody will swing at?

well, what's his name just struck out swinging at it...

I was just answering the question. :)
Not like I’d have him on my team.

crap....
Are you kidding me? There is no way he should have been safe right there.

lmao
fall behind 2-0, 87mph down the middle
my grandma could hit that garbage

which brings the question: Why is Bale even on this team?
(I know, I know. He’s a filler. It’s part of the process)

It wasn't close the first time, so let's try again.

Bale vs. Beckham
Not a good matchup for us.

i love this team
dramatic 2 out pinch hit 3 run homerun, followed by walking the leadoff man and completely ineptitude

at least Trey got Colon out of the ballgame.
That was a surprise…. his LOOGY sux though.

loogys aren't part of the process
thats why we got rid of gobble after a good loogy year and are letting bale face beckham
A great way to break in a new flatscreen
I’m such a sucker…at least football is starting now.
We went with the Samsung
although that Sony next to it was calling my name…
oh Billy....
on that thought, I’m out. Bedtime to watch Jenks.

Losing
It’s not just a job, it’s a fucking adventure.

another day, another disaster
this bullpen… has got to go

and linebrink gets the win

by swing and a miss on Aug 17, 2009 11:47 PM EDT reply actions
And Colon gets the loss
which shows that pitcher losses sometimes make some sense.
While Bale deserved the L too, I’d rather he be awarded the DFA.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
