I don't care who you are, as you watch for those 5 seconds you've got to love Ned.

I don't like Ned hate.

i think it's overdone.

The twins are throwing a middle schooler out there tomorrow. His era is higher than obamas approval rating. We should score a million runs tomorrow

the rockies too.  anything less than a four game winning streak would be disappointing.

Most baseball fans think their manager is a boob. I don't feel bad at all for hating Ned. He's an bad person to the media, and that is basically his only way to get his message out to the fans. So, his message to us is basically "eff you. Don't question me about baseball. I don't owe you anything"

Ned is prob no different than 95% of managers.  I just think royals fans, having not seen a winner in 30 years, could be spared some of the condescension.  KC is the easiest market to be a pro athlete/manager in.  Just be mildly competent at your job and you'll be a lifer here.

I will be at the game on Tuesday.  Will grab a beer with any Mile High Royals

cf3 will be there. pm him.

Went to Denver the first year the Royals played there....2000?....and man there was some real hate against Royals fans.  I wasn't sure if it was Chiefs/Broncos carryover stuff or inferiority complex of being a new team but of all the MLB stadium's I've been to, I haven't heard combined the smack talk that i heard in 2 games vs. the Rockies.

In two outings, May (Twins pitcher for tomorrow) is 0-1 with an ERA of 12.46, and has issued 9 walks in 4 1/3 innings pitched. He also allowed 3 runs in 2 1/3 innings against the Astros last Tuesday. Wow.

Most managers are boobs.

That's why the only guy who defends Ned is Katdaddy

It's different now.  No one really cares about baseball that I've run into.  I'm glad they tanked and lost two of their key players though, got 9th row behind visitors dugout Tuesday for like 30 bucks.

Do you guys enjoy the Japanese strikeout streams as much as I do? Unbelievable

catching up on the thread, so my apologies, but yes the emo/scream-o rock highlight montages are very enjoyable

if we win every remaining series (i'm going to count the 2-game colorado series and the yankees makeup game as 1 series), but do not sweep any of them, that is 27-12 and 95-67 and pretty unreasonable to expect.

22-17 gets them to 90-72 and that is pretty reasonable to expect:

4 vs Minnesota: 3-1
2 vs Colorado 1-1
6 vs Texas: 4-2
6 vs Cleveland: 3-3
4 vs NY Yankees: 2-2
6 vs Detroit: 2-4
7 vs Chicago: 5-2
4 vs Boston: 2-2
