Behind Robinson Tejeda, Royals Dominate Increasingly Pathetic Tigers Yet Again
- Seriously, Detroit, you are effing miserable. The Tigers needed two errors to stage a comeback against the Blue Jays last night, and they followed that up with a complete laydown against the Royals. Always remember how important momentum is in sports. Oh wait, you'd never forget, because we hear about it constantly.
- Robinson Tejeda: 5.0 IP, 2 Hs, 4 BBs, 5 Ks. Kinda a weird night, but of course we'll take it. Dude's ERA on the season is now at 3.09. I don't know what to say.
- The fourth inning gave birth to Dayton Moore's least favorite three-run homer of all time: David DeJesus's blast which scored John Buck and Alex Gordon. Damn those sons of bitches for killing a rally like that.
- Olivo walked! Jarrod Washburn epic pitching fail.
- Thank God we got Josh Anderson into this baby. I was getting worried. Nobody is more on the spot with marginally useful outfield rearrangements than we are. I measure time by it, as in, my cable bill is due in three more 8th inning Maier-Bloomquist-DeJesus shuffles.
- St. Willie had a bunch of hits. Although he's under contract for next season, I expect him to get the Gload treatment, with a new deal extending him through 2011 to be reached soon.

The Royals are (tied for) the hottest team in baseball over the last 10 games
The Process has been vindicated twice in one season. What more do you whiners want???

the march to 73 wins
And a tcon125 victory in the wins sweepstakes is all I can think about. Especially after nyroyal told me I was an idiot and the only way the royals would only win 73 is if their plane crashed. “If there is one thing we’ve learned about gmdm the man can build a bullpen” ;) no but seriously, good for tejada. I see no reason not to have him battle for the 5th slot in the rotation in spring.
At least Wally Joyner's not on the team....

I understand ads are the nature of the beast, but I was about to throw my lap top last night.

Agreed, very annoying.
Royals, NBA, Golden Hurricane, Hawkeyes, Chiefs, and KU basketball, in that order.

18-11 and 7-1 are all that matter
the rest of the season was an injury plagued fluke.

Miggy is almost a leauge average batter with a .283 OBP, crazy.
Go Royals!

Update on the Race for the K
It is way too close to call now, going into the home stretch:
Miggy 114
Jacobs 114
Teahen 118
will Mark get enough AB’s to hold off the other two?
will Jake get enough AB’s to hold off Miggy?
will Miggy get more walks than HR’s, now that he is an OBP machine (see TR above)?

Detroit's fans must even know they're not looking good.
RR can get away with this:
Seriously, Detroit, you are effing miserable
And not be called out by a single Detroit fan?
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.

they are still in hiding after that fat guy ran around the outfield without a shirt
