Game 95 Open Thread- Royals (41-53) at Tigers (57-36)
Riding high on two straight victories over the Red Sox at Fenway, the Royals find no easier quarter tonight, facing off against the streaking Tigers. Challenging the Royals this evening will be noted psychotic jerk, cheater, and posing-as-a-tough-guy-on-the-mound expert Kenny Rogers (3-1, 2.82 ERA). Thankfully, Barry Bonds and Neifi Perez already destroyed our national innocence, so Kenny's antics are so so easy to take. Like a finger of Drambuie after a long day.

Don't worry, Kenny apologized sincerely, accepted his suspension without protest and sat out the All-Star game and never attacked again is chilled out now.
The Royals counter with Gil Meche (6-6, 3.69 ERA), making this truly a battle for the ages. According to Bless You Boys our own JoePo will be in Detroit signing copies of his book.

Bell Probably
i like the lineup
directv's free preview is all done, meaning i am back to gameacasting it. ugh.
GRITZY STRIKES AGAIN!
first and third for BOOM BOOM, he seems to always gets hits in these situations lets hope he does it again here.
i guess ill take it
come on reggie, it would be nice if we could get 2 runs this inning.
or not.
pressure is on giley/mechey now...
i'm in the mood
by Gordon Roy on Jul 20, 2007 7:19 PM EDT reply actions
not to mention the no hitter
by Gordon Roy on Jul 20, 2007 7:21 PM EDT reply actions
oh well, he was efficient even with the HR
I can never see George Brett tearing out
this tiger lineup
by Gordon Roy on Jul 20, 2007 7:32 PM EDT reply actions
can we trade dotel for guillen straight up?
by Gordon Roy on Jul 20, 2007 7:34 PM EDT reply actions
Well, I hate to leave good company
Nice comeback by Meche
PEna just struck out
according to gameday that pitch was inside.
Bases loaded for the Butler...
Billy Butler = RBI machine
BOOM! BOOM!
he always seems to come through with RISP, i know it is largely unsustainable but ill take it...
okay mechey/giley, you have a 3 run lead. i know it is against the tigers. i dont care, shut them down for another 4 or 5 innings and prove yet again you are an ace.
I hope Brown can knock in Butler
not only does vlademil
remember, their pen sucks.

Thanks CBS Sportsline
".I like their chances a lot more against the pathetic Royals bullpen, than against Meche."
And the texas leaguer to Grandy

germs and gritzy
just for kicks, what about throwing out this lineup?
germs - 3b
gritzy - 2b
ddj - cf
boom boom - dh
teahen - rf
smirky - 1b
buck - c
sanders- lf
pena - ss
i wouldnt mind trying it out for a game or two and see how it would do...
That's not bad at all. In fact, pretty damn good
But it will never happen. Buddy would have to have Gload and La-La in there. They're tried and tested vets.
by RTC Fan on Jul 20, 2007 9:09 PM EDT up reply actions
Billy Butler = Better than Cheerios
BOOM! BOOM!
oh and by the way, the glog guy at cbs says that "i still dont think the royals will hold onto the lead."
whatevs...
Wouldn't be shocked to see Bale
Wow, some more Gil Meche
I couldn't be happier
by nycroyal on Jul 20, 2007 9:21 PM EDT reply actions
wow, mechey is coming back out.
hopefully someone is warming up in the pen, if he starts to falter i want to turn it over to this "pathetic" bullpen.
that glog guy is still pissing me off. has he seen us play in the last 2 months? at all?
just tuned in

Gilbert wasn't messing around that inning.
by RTC Fan on Jul 20, 2007 9:23 PM EDT reply actions
oh, and like i said earlier
this is EXACTLY what mechey needed to do, go out for 7 innings and effectively shut them down giving up only 2 runs.
ill take that every start...
My guess

did anyone see teahen in CF?

Greinke in the 8th inning
Go Boston
When I got to the car and heard we
zach/k going out there
Zack, if you walk the lead off hitter
just a question...
someone said like a 3rd grade girl, someone else a high school girl and lastly royaldaddy said "little boy".
im not sure which one i fit in, what about you guys?
Full of Glee
Okay, nice comeback, now
Same for Granderson
15 pitch inning for zack, three outs
grienke threw 15 pitches that inning
wow, that is odd to say the least.
three more outs

Hey now
gritzy is hitting tonight
1-4 are a combined 11-18 with 5 RBI's and all 6 runs.
just wow.
Butler with ANOTHER hit
Capellan is supposed to be the next big thing
Even Emil is getting some action
What do you bet Dombrowski
by powderblue on Jul 20, 2007 9:56 PM EDT reply actions
10-2
pure genius in Chicago
so, we are now 4-3 on the road
To be fair, Contreras was pitching OK
hey, if our offense hits again
sure, we are major underdogs (more than usual) but it is still possible...
its hard not to be positive after tonights shellacking.
thanks to white sox loss
i hate the chicago white sox by the way, and i hope we can pass them this weekend...

Just back from the hospital and wow....
Team win here folks.... who were those people saying we would go 3-10 in the 13. We just over half way and we have 4 wins. I expect three or four more before those 13 games are over.
Great Win.... I had to keep up with the score on the ESPN news ticker. Go Blue.....
