PrintKansas City Royals at Cleveland Indians, Sep 11, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Zack Greinke v. Justin Masterson as the Royals go for their fourth (!) straight win. Let's have a super early game thread in honor of Greinke.
Suggestions for next year's Cleveland Indians promotional campaign after the jump...
via rlv.zcache.com
Current campaign (for the last two years, actually, I think):
via mlb.mlb.com
I'll actually be on the road tonight, flying from DC to Milwaukee, so the thread is in your able hands.

You guys will have to forgive Will
I mean, it is rather hard to believe.
Kansas City Royals: your 2006 and 2007 NL Central champions!
So Greinke
Pitches 8 innings, 1ER 12 K 1BB
Roman Colon blows the save. He got the chance because “Trey looked in his eyes and saw someone who wanted to right the wrong of his last appearance”
I don’t know why I am so pessimistic.
Now, now. You know exactly why you are so pessimistic.
Kansas City Royals: your 2006 and 2007 NL Central champions!
Not nearly pessimistic enough
Allow me to paint a picture:
its a 0-0 tie through 8. Gordon come up and hits a long ball making it 1-0 before uni grounds out to end the inning.
Greinke goes 8 scoreless innings, hes thrown 125 pitches, but Trey sees something in his eyes and sends him out for the 9th.
On the first pitch Zack serves a tater right down the middle to Hafner who knocks it out of the park, but the cameras are only focused on one thing, zack, on the ground, clutching his elbow.
Then Trey sends out Jamey, because he needs to get his work in, who then proceeds to give up 3 singles and walks in the winning run.
After the game GMDM blames butler for not turning a 3-6-3 in the 3rd inning as costing them the game and vows to send him and gordon(rally killer) down to AA next season along with Kila Ka’aihoue(because his Avg wasn’t high enough)

Yeah, he's an idiot
But now the other dufus is agreeing with him. Then again, he starts talking about wins and losses. Then again Reynolds starts talking about Rivera…
There is one guy in the studio who is actually talking sense but I don’t recognize who it is.
One of the guys the other night
said that he’d take Zack over any pitcher in the league. I can’t remember who.
Oh, hey, the smart guy is Barry Larkin
I always kindof liked him
yeah nevermind the fact that he has totally steamrolled the angels in both his starts
against them, etc

it's so easy to win games when you pitch for the Royals
Graduate with a B.S. from the Dayton Moore School of Stats Analysis
Rather than straight up wins,
would it be better if they looked at percentage of games won by your team by you?
For example, Zack winning 15 for a 63 win Royals >>> CC winning 20 for a 100 win Yankees.

thanks for making a good throw ddj - now farnsworthless will promptly allow a bomb
watch – hafner’s hitting a 450 foot bomb here.

holy christ letting him ptich to hafner here is just idiotic
there is no excuse
why god
why

can we bring greinke back into the game?
it’d be totally worth it. we need to finish the season at 77-85
With the Pirates and O's in full tank mode
This little win streak just doesn’t feel all that good
why haven't we lost yet?
I thought that “Kyle Farnsworth, 2 inning reliever” was enough to lose

(that didn’t come out as good as hoped)

He did bunt one between his legs.
That’s pretty talented.

i love that sequence, yuni fails, so anderson gets put in, steals second immediately
WHY DIDNT WE JUST DO THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE

or better yet, have Josh Anderson bunt for Yuniesky

The Royals bullpen isn't going to shut out a team for too long.
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
Hillman will have to use the new guys eventually...
so there is hope

Ok, been out of the house and saw it's in extras.
Greinke looked good again, I assume.

one runner in scoring position in 7 innings
which, obviously score when he needed one more out, dejesus dove and didn’t get his glove down to catch it
-
So that means, the bullpen has held them since the 8th?
That’s impressive.

Lynn surprisingly looked good

it's been a baling wire and ducttape job
this game has been within 2 feet of being over about 4 times in the past 3 innings

Eric Wedge looks like he should be holding a cardboard sign
Will call in the wrong pitcher from the bullpen for food.
when has Lamey Wrong ever let us down?

not sure i've ever seen that happen before
peralta has now hit two game winning singles, neither which won the game
-
Does Cleveland only hit balls to left field?
DDJ having a horrible and tremendous game all in one. Two should be errors that give up the lead then two assists on outs at the plate. Joakin Andujar summed it up when he said baseball can be described in two words, you never know.
any pitcher that ever hangs one on the inside should be DFA'd on the spot

lol, the hanging curveball
olivo runs into it

It is pitching malpractice
to throw Olivo anything but sliders in the dirt
by Black and Gold on Sep 11, 2009 10:33 PM EDT reply actions
can the official scorer give greinke the win anyway
the idea that jamey wright will get a win after his little performance assuming we hold on is rather nauseating
-
its sad that the hardest Anderson has hit a ball all year...
only went about 50 feet past the infield

Whew, had to go on rounds right after the bottom of the 9th ended.
Thank God for DVR. What the heck IS this game???
WTF, self?
Its proof that Lamey Wrong and Lynn Farnsworth are solid relief pitchers

We need to reassign Hillman
let someone manage this team until September, then bring Trey in so we can surge into 1st

sigh, now soria is going to have problems
here we go

by the way, why do we continue pitcher hafner away
whe all he’s done is flip singles into left field…
-
yeah, it basically makes zero sense
haven’t come in on him a single time tonight
