His adorability factor definitely increased tonight.

the royals are the best at losing when it counts and winning when it doesn't.

PIPE-shot.

listening to the indians broadcast for the win just made it 100X better

[j-dub]

they better keep this up. i'm gonna get my hopes up again and they're gonna crush me. they don't deserve my love and trust.

but i keep giving it to them. and i'm gonna do it again because i just can't help myself.

Hey j-dub, the Royals just passed the Indians to go above .500 and claim possession of 2nd place in the Central. They're also only two games back in the wildcard race. Relax, bud. They're where they need to be right now. They just need to get the offense going (plate discipline).

Agree with MH. 61 games left in the season and we're by no means out of the playoff race. But we can't afford a southward turn in starting pitching and the offense has to pick up, and do so consistently. The latter component is what continues to concern me the most.

Aoki hitting like the DH that he is!

Ned mushed us all in our faces last night.

He needs to just stay at DH when Hosmer comes back.

Dan Duffy has given up 2 ER or less in 6 of his last 7 starts.  He has a 1-4 record in those 6 starts.

We won a game where the Indians best pitcher had his absolute best stuff.

Danny Duffy is so awesome guys!

Pipe:

1. Log out
2. Take your metamucil and ensure, you old wrinkled up geezer
3. Punch your own face repeatedly
4. Become a monk or something where you have no internet access.

Thanks man,

you know what is depressing? breaking down the first 100 games of the season into ten 10-game chunks

1-10: 4-6 L
11-20: 6-4 W
21-30: 4-6 L
31-40: 6-4 W
41-50: 4-6 L
51-60: 5-5 T
61-70: 9-1 W
71-80: 3-7 L
81-90: 6-4 W
91-100: 3-7 L

this is a sub-500 team with one fantastic 10-game stretch stuck in the middle 

[Cartierfor3]

No its the best team ever with 2 sub .500 stretches sandwiched around the good part

If they follow the pattern from the first 70 games for the last 60 games (.500 baseball with one hot 10-game stretch) they'll probably finish with around 85 or 86 wins. Right now NY and SEA are tied for the last playoff spot...both are on pace for 85 wins.

I haven't heard when Vargas can play again. Does anyone know?
