fall semester started for you?
by Will McDonald on Aug 22, 2009 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
no
we start pretty late
in any case, I’m at the stage in my “studies” where semesters don’t matter (I’m not teaching at the moment — child care + proposal/comps work + not allowed to work outside of school in Canada + no undergrads at my instituition)

poz has beaten the enjoyment of mauer out of me
the constant “eur” spellings have killed me

I don't even read those entries for some reason
It just struck me that I can’t recall a single nice thing Poz has ever written about DDJ. I wonder why? Seriously…
Is it because Poz never got over Beltran or something?

there's no angle to DDJ
unless you just go all in on the “underappreciated” thing, which is really more of a blogger thing
Poz is pretty with it statistically and in understanding player value, but he still loves his stories

Did Robinson Tejeda hit on Hillman's wife or something?
I guess Tejeda + Olivo would be a scary combo… for Olivo

A grounder before he blows up. This one worked nicely.

Totally predictable
We need two more first basement and an extra right fielder.

First basement
sounds like a new category for the Royals special place in the standings.

That bloop in right
last inning really hurts now.

So we've got three members of the 100 K club now...
Teahen, Jacobs, Olivo have all wiffed 100 times!!!
Yay milestones!
by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Aug 22, 2009 10:35 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Jacobs vs RHP would be ok, right?
Particularly with Spork able to play SS?
by sterlingice on Aug 22, 2009 10:36 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I'll bet
Teahan has broken more hearts with his K’s, though.

umm why didn't Casilla go to first there?

we wouldn't have wanted to pinch-hit there or anything
would we, Trey?
by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Aug 22, 2009 10:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Is Jacobs hurt or something
there is no excuse for letting Anderson hit otherwise. My grandma could have hit a routine grounder to second in that situation…

not hurt that i know of............just more Treyball
he’s working on the mullet now, by the way.

Seriously...
Trey decided Anderson was the best guy for the job there?

We need to give him a look
Apparently DMGM wants him to be our full-time CF. Can’t wait for that next year.

Looking forward to it.
After all, DDJ isn't a true CF.

Trey gets the loss
Yanking Davies in favor of Mahay? Doing nothing with the late inning batting options? We’re all astounded by his ineffectiveness as a manager.

My wife
who knows less about the Royals than Hillman does. Watched somebody step into the batter’s box with the tying run on first and said “That had better be Jacobs”. When my wife has a better baseball IQ than the guy running the team changes have to be made.
