Royals Make It Interesting, Lose Nevertheless

by Freneau on Jul 28, 2010 5:00 PM EDT in Kansas City Royals News

A 6-4 loss is like a win, right?

Pena caught today! He actually had a pretty terrible day at the plate, leaving men on base and grounding into a double play that turned out to be fairly huge. Still, he played. He played! The Royals played their backup catcher in a day game after a night game!
11 hits. 11 singles.
Brian Bullington showed up for two innings, and somehow didn't allow any runs. I credit Yost.
Remember when Soria could pitch scoreless innings?

Only allowed 69 runs in the 7 game stretch vs Yankees and the Twins

So we got our runs allowed avg under 10 per game.

So there’s that.

Since the A.S. break

108 runs allowed in 13 games (8.3 ave). Of course, we also allowed 15 runs in the last game before the A.S.B.

Is there ANY reason to spend any time watching this team??????????????

no

unless you’re into self immolation

The only measure of true success in the NFL is the Vince Lombardi trophy. Anything less is a rationalization.

when they are going like this, i’m not going to waste my time fixated in front of the tv night after night…last night i finished watching The Book of Eli and I’ve been grinding through America: The Story of Us.

I’m looking forward to watching Man on Fire thanks to several of your recommendations; any others that i should be on the lookout for (favorite movies-clockwork orange, full metal jacket, election, bad boys II)?

BOOM YOSTED!

If you like kidnapping movies, there's "Proof of Life", too

Stay away from “Taken”, though. Woo, was that bad.

Woo's Movies Are

Pretty good.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

I couldn't watch America: The Story of Us

All of the commentary was from uninformed, left-wing idealogues rather than people who are experts. In fact, the History Channel is pretty biased on many of their new programs.
