Game 155 Open Thread- Royals (67-87) at Tigers (84-71)

I'm aware everybody may seem to be a kid to Buddy, but if Buddy thinks of Bale as a "kid", then it's no wonder he thinks Gload and Brown need lots of September at bats as well, they're just "kids".

I like Grudz getting a day off, and Smith does surprise us with his sneaky power. I do not hate him anymore. He is like German's bizzaro twin. German is the utility infielder with the OBP, Smith is the utility infielder with the SLG%. If only we could mash them together.

Brazell and Huber might as well go look for the taco vender up in the cheap seats.

Butler DH, Gload 1B. Butler's learning process continues. Buddy is quoted on KCRoyals.com saying Butler needs to learn first base, but he would rather have him do so during the winter. Good plan. Have Butler learn to play 1B when you and most of the coaching staff are not around. Sounded like he just didn't want to have to deal with Butler's crappy defense this month so pushed the problem off to the next manager. God I'm cynical.

He just looks frustrated out on the mound

Like a guy that knows he has great stuff, but cannot pitch a decent game to save his life. Example: Today, Polanco hits a ball out of the strike zone for a base hit, Raburn flips a double into the left field corner, makes a great pitch to Guilllen that turns into a base hit, then gets pissed and throws a fastball down the middle for a 2 run HR. Result: disaster.

He did come back strong,

striking out Inge and Rabelo. Looked like several good pitches to Rabelo there before he got the swing and miss.

Last time I went back to Dayton

I was with an old college friend, her husband, and my wife. It had been about 8 years since my last visit. My friend and I were walking all over campus and having good memories. The spouses just thought we were jacked up. We were walking around in our memories, and they were walking around a pretty unimpressive campus in a run-down city.

Nothing looked quite as nice as I remembered it being, and campus was smaller than I remember it being. And I was unhappy with some of the changes. The, "you can never go home" feeling.

The world of our memories is always better than the world of our lives.

Must be. He has thrown a few curves.

One in the dirt. An earlier curve looked great to me on TV. 12-6, broke down and either clipped the bottom of the zone or was just low. Swing and miss pitch.

why on earth do the chiefs keep trying to run

on first down?

yes!

Bowe is becoming a star. First good receiver since before Morris got hurt.

First Good Wide

Receiver; Gonzo is a great receiver who blocks like a bastard.

Being a fan is irrational, but what is the alternative?

Nuny Settled Down

Just fine after that first pitch. That's a good sign.

hope he gets a chance to start next year

seems insane to keep turning the ball over to guys like DLR (and maybe Davies)

Brazell gets a pinch hit opportunity. Strikes out

clearly proving that Bell's lack of faith in him

was completely justified

Chiefs have run on 1st down

15 of 18 times today. Only two of those plays gained more than 3 yards, and twice as many went for negative yards.

And yet they keep doing it. It's like starting Elarton every 5th day.

They Play To

Win the game; somehow, it's working today. It's like Marty is back. Herm is a Marty guy, you know.

Welcome back...

JDLR. I see your pitching hasn't improved any. I would have rather seen Lumsden or Wright out there instead of you. This is going to be a long seven days.

Just three more wins guys... you can do it...

You know it hurts to lose now as bad as it did in April. See you in tommorrow in Baltimore. I am hoping for a Meche win.
