The Royals

[Dub]

Did Ned really just call a hit and run with Elliot batting?  Or is he just stupid enough to swing horribly and miss?

[kslim]

this pitcher has thrown 30 strikes and 90 pitches but the score is 2-1 how is that even possible

That is what happens when you put 3 bunt-first batters in succession in a lineup.

yeah it was rhetorical, glad we are on the same page here

[WildcatNkilt]

Hilarious how many guys this pitcher has walked.  Even more hilarious how many more walks he could have this game if our batters weren't Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).



EDIT:  Take what I said above back...new pitcher.  But he sucks too.

Detroit has a 3-run lead over White Sox now, and Cleveland has come back to tie Minnesota at 7.

Are we really still on the divisional race thing?   It's all about that 2nd wildcard spot people.  There's no way in hell we are coming back and catching the Tigers.  We will decide our fate with CLE when we face them.

In other news,  OAK is losing 0-1 


EDIT:  Actually, it was Baltimore.... and now they are up 4-1

focus on texas baltimore and tampa bay for now. you still have plenty of games against detroit and cleveland to do your own damage but the way they keep playing you want to focus on the wild card (i know cleveland is also in the wild card race)

Johnson

[kslim]

i dont think i have ever seen as many catchers get hit in the face as i have from the royals

also good job johnson keep proving me right

[kslim]

OMFG how do you not throw that??????

[Dub]

He's mumped two plays now that Billy Butler could have fielded.  That was the slowest dribbler ever right to him.  My god...

You just don't put a GGLF at 3rd guys. Everyone knows that.

I don't care who the hell goes there.. as long as Johnson gets demoted to AAA

Just sell him for a vending machine or something. AAA roster spots should be reserved for prospects.

True.. it'd be nice he could be the player to be named in either of our trade situations.  The Royals arent that lucky though.

who gives a eff if you have an error or two?

also good job johnson keep proving me right

Guys, these update you are giving me at work are worthless....like you all are just getting mad and voicing frustration....I need details on how Johnson screwed up so I can visualize it and make my own conclusions....

['taterblast]

this rough ridin' team. sorry PIPE.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Elliot is just praying for a walk here.

[Dub]

Guys, these update you are giving me at work are worthless....like you all are just getting mad and voicing frustration....I need details on how Johnson screwed up so I can visualize it and make my own conclusions....

- There was a soft dribbler down a few feet right of the foul line at 3rd... Johnson charged to barehand it and throw to first only to give up and lift up before reaching the ball allowing it to pass.  Luckily, Alcedes was backing up and barely got to the ball in time to throw home and tag the guy out who was on 2nd and went home after this miss.

- A soft normal play was hit right at him and he was like one of those preschool kids you see wait on the ball and it goes under their glove and they fall on their butt.  This allowed a run later on.

- He was batting and might have been a hit and run (why?) but swung at a terrible pitch and struck out.  (The only player to strike out against a pitcher who threw 80-90 pitches and 30 some strikes.

- He has a dumb face.

Well, the winning was fun while it lasted.

[WildcatPower]

eff Dayton Moore for bringing in Jamie Carroll who is a broke dick, and can't hit worth a crap. And eff Ned Yost for having Getz and Johnson batting at the same time on the line-up.

And double eff Johnson for be a awful awful awful shitty baseball player.

What a rough ridin' Costco-sized fail.

Know that is what I am talking about, Thanks! 

I have concluded that Johnson sucks.......along w/ that newcomer Carroll

[Rage Against the McKee]

Maybe the Royals should see if Cal Ripken Jr wants to come play 2nd base. He's not that much older than the guys they keep finding.
