Game 71 Open Thread: Pirates at Royals

by royalsreview on Jun 22, 2006 2:09 PM EDT

Thought I'd experiment with putting the Game Thread in the Diaries section just for grins.

The Royals go for the Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!! this afternoon against the Pirates at the K. Our Royals send Scott Elarton (5.09 ERA) to the mound against Paul Maholm (2-5, 4.50 ERA).

Should be a great pitching matchup!!

Unfortunately, Buddisimo has given David the day off:

E. German dh 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .310
M. Grudzielanek 2b 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .294
R. Sanders rf 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .255
E. Brown lf 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .270
T. Graffanino 1b 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .233
M. Teahen 3b 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .254
A. Berroa ss 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .256
J. Buck c 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .232
J. Gathright cf 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .210

Strange lineup. Nice to see German in I guess, but Graffy is killing me this season. He's given us NOTHING.

Buck

bring back Bako!!

love to see a sweep today

i'm sure they'll be at least 6,000 fans at the K to see it

knowing the royals

the game will get rained out and they'll never make up the game

saving us from a chance at a sweep and a likely win

which could come into play at the end of the season when we're chasing the worst record record

AND WE"RE BACK!!

Elarton in trouble in the first

gotta get Casey here

by LeoBloom on Jun 22, 2006 2:45 PM EDT 0 recs

late start....

3-2 lead in the third.... wow...

and Elarton hasn't lost his shirt yet. wow...

Buddy Ball if you play well in one game you will set out the next one. Where is DeJesus?

Two pitches...and two outs.... WORK THE XXXXXXX COUNT.... Hey Graffy has taken three pitches..and he chased it... 1-2-3 on six pitches....

joe randa

Berroa walked??!?!?

end the game now and save that ball!!

by royalsreview on Jun 22, 2006 3:52 PM EDT 0 recs

buck walks too

we've got something going for Gathright

bunt single anyone?

by royalsreview on Jun 22, 2006 3:53 PM EDT up 0 recs

wow...

who are these guys... 7-2.. gadzooks...

Here is McClure... a buddy clone...

Wellemeyer... this must mean we aren't going to see Everyday Elmer today. Even he should probably not work 4 days in a row. But, only the Budster knows...

7-2.... we could have a four game win streak... And the weirdest double play in awhile.

it is better to be lucky than good.....

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 4:33 PM EDT 0 recs

okay this American Idol guy is getting on my..

nerves... His possibities are becoming redundant.

Well here's Todd. come on one more out and lets move to the 7th...

The announcer just said Berroa was part of a heads up play. Is that an oxymoron....

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 4:38 PM EDT 0 recs

Come on Todd...

throw strikes...

and then there is Berroa... I swear he is asleep. He dropped the ball.

tried to catch it one hand... crap... get rid of him...now...

crap... two runs score...

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 4:44 PM EDT 0 recs

We are sucking hind tit ...here folks..

I feel good about Peralta...

but Berroa is still out there... he dropped the ball.....
crap

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 4:46 PM EDT 0 recs

Hey, a good catch by a fan.

Budster...sign that fan and put him at short. We have to be able to do better than Berroa....

Way to go Mr. P. struck him out.... we need to see more of you.

Oh god, it is Idol boy again....

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 4:50 PM EDT 0 recs

Bring on the Brewers...

German, Grudz, and Sanders....

Come on Estey.... 2-3 today....310 ave. Why isn't he playing everyday. it drops... yeah..... 3-4...

Grudz ...lets go....your average is dropping...

oh come on that was a fair ball... get some glasses ump. crap....

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 4:55 PM EDT 0 recs

line out....crap...

Okay, Mr. 300 lets see what you got.

Way to go Reggie... lets go Brown.. bring them home.

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 5:00 PM EDT 0 recs

You do man...Brown...

German scores without a throw... and it's Graffy... one out and two on...

Hey, some of those 6,000 fans are making noise. at least 3 of them...

Come on Graffy... up the middle... Sanders coasts into score and ...way to go Graffy...

And now hitting...ladies and gentlemen.... All Star performer Mark Teahen....and the crowd goes wild......not good Mark...

Hey, they are booing Berroa. gee ya think...

Buck is 3-3 today. wow....

Come on Gator....and he took a walk...

okay, two on and no one out....

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 5:28 PM EDT 0 recs

roberto!

we have a roberto hernandez sighting!

awful bunt call on German from Bell, but what do you expect?

by LeoBloom on Jun 22, 2006 5:31 PM EDT 0 recs

a couple more runs...

hey, they are making errors too....

We need more runs so we won't see Burger boy today...

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 5:32 PM EDT 0 recs

by LeoBloom on Jun 22, 2006 5:35 PM EDT 0 recs

All right Brown...

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 5:35 PM EDT 0 recs

I feel a sweep coming on boys

this is our day at the K

nice to get some runs off Roberto too

by DyeFan187 on Jun 22, 2006 5:36 PM EDT 0 recs

Emil?

He can hit homers? I'd forgotten that.

He's no Jermain Dye though.

by DyeFan187 on Jun 22, 2006 5:37 PM EDT 0 recs

just a triple

and an error

the real question

will Bell bring in Elmer again today

by royalsreview on Jun 22, 2006 5:38 PM EDT up 0 recs

Peralta out...

why... oh well at least it isn't Sisco. But we will be seeing him I bet.

Gobble...lets go. This has been a very long game with a very small strike zone.

Go Blue....

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 5:42 PM EDT 0 recs

agreed

def not a normal "getaway day" game

by royalsreview on Jun 22, 2006 5:45 PM EDT up 0 recs

All Star Teahen....

makes another all star play to start an inning ending double play.

three more outs and we got 4 wins in the bank....

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 5:45 PM EDT 0 recs

.254 ave.

Teahen is over .250... way to go Mark.

come on pad your average.

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 5:46 PM EDT 0 recs

His Berroa...

He is getting the boo's.... give it to him

Gee, Berroa late on a swing... he has to go...

2-2 come on...just close your eyes and swing.

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 5:49 PM EDT 0 recs

since he somehow walked

its almost like the strikeout from berroa is acceptable

he's a truly comic hitter at this point

gathright time

by royalsreview on Jun 22, 2006 5:51 PM EDT up 0 recs

3 hit by pitches this game

whats going on?

bad blood between Tracy and Bell?

by royalsreview on Jun 22, 2006 5:54 PM EDT 0 recs

Here's Gator....

show us some of that speed and bat control...

What you aren't bunting?????

another hit batter... all right Gator ...take one for the team.

Okay, Estey....

Wow..this is just ugly.... Psst...Moore, don't trade for this guy....

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 5:55 PM EDT 0 recs

This ump wants to go home.

That was a gimme call for the third strike. Oh well....

THREE outs.... and the goodguys win again....

come on a 1-2-3 inning... and did you hear that the ice cubs falling into the glass. it is almost scotch and water time.....

Go Gobble....

by grudz69 on Jun 22, 2006 6:01 PM EDT 0 recs

15-7

by royalsreview on Jun 22, 2006 6:03 PM EDT 0 recs
