Ned Yost hung himself in the locker room

GMDM’s gonna stick with him regardless.

We've got absolutely nothing.

Maier looks like a putz, Betemit looks like something other than Betemit and Aviles just can’t hit except when his bat runs into the ball during an unorthodox cut. And on and on we’ll limp to the ninth.

Trivia question right. Sir Reginald did not get cheated on his swings, and Splitt was the kind of guy who gave him fits.

Hughes is a yahoo.

Shit, he should be brave out there. Truly nothing to lose. A walk, a triple and a plunked batter? That’s what we expect of him when the game’s actually on the line.

At least we got rid of Hillman

He just didn’t know how to motivate these guys like Yost. Yost played the game, and that’s a big deal to big major leaguers.

I thank the heavens

I had an organ recital to attend tonight. Otherwise I might have actually gone to this stinktastic affair. I would probably be in jail by now for having taken it out on some obnoxious Twins fan (redundant, I know…).

Seems like they’d be sickeningly polite. Mind you, I’m from Maine and don’t know the regional dynamics out there.

Twins have scored 19 runs on 20 hits

How many hits would it take for the ROyals to score 19 runs?

40?

by kcbottom9th on Jul 26, 2010 10:59 PM EDT reply actions  

Well, it would take at least 57 since we only hit singles and don't walk.

And can’t seem to hit them in the same inning.

Of course Kendall would probably get hit by a pitch, so maybe only 56.

by Gross(est) on Jul 26, 2010 11:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

looking at game logs

its about 38 hits for our last 20 or so runs

by wildthang on Jul 26, 2010 11:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

The 6 walks help

You’d think the geniuses running our team would notice that the Twins out-walk us by about 1000 walks/year and suspect some correlation to how they score more runs.

You’d think wrong.

Health update

Royals Fever has worsened. Chills leading to unstoppable shivering, unable to stay awake, throat dry. Can’t muster the strength to go into the other room and turn off Baseball Tonight, where they are making fun of us.

wtf @ Yahoo! gameday

- D. Young singled to shallow left
- M. Cuddyer walked
- J. Kubel struck out looking
- End of Inning (0 Runs, 1 Hit, 0 Errors)

Mercy rule?

- W. Bloomquist homered to deep center
- P. Earth explodes
