Minnie knows a bad team when it sees one. It will sweep the Sox who are inept in the Cell. You know the drill. Bet the house baby.

Why is Kim Jong Un suddenly acting like he wants peace, etc? Let's just for a moment assume this is all a farce and he will continue testing nukes and has ulterior motives. What are they? What would those be? Would it be easier to take over South Korea by opening the borders, etc? Once things appear peaceful, boom, he takes over the 2 countries?

This is why the rebuild crap is so annoying. After Soria gives it away, Hahn can take credit for the tank victory. He can pretend it's what he wanted. He can say it's a perfect way to make sure you lose, acquire Soria. Sad.

The Soria move was roundly cheered last winter on this board. I got roasted. Me and Caulfield were the ones who said how Fathom could whack hit after hit off Soria. For all the peeps on this board who don't want the Sox to spend any money ... you'd think they'd be furious giving Soria that kind of jack (no pun intended). What a joke. He's an embarrassment. I wonder if they'll release him at some point.

Soria is the perfect closer for a team that wants to tank. I told u all last winter he blows chunks advanced stats be darned. KC fans held a mini parade when they got rid of him.

Anderson will be fine. Remember when Alexei stunk? He got better, too. We can live with Anderson booting routine balls in 7-1 games when we're a contending team. He'll probably always have a focus problem, but should be good enough for a WS caliber team SS.

Exactly. It always works out this way. Royals raise a stink or plunk some Sox hitters and the Sox slither away and lose.

Our division is so pathetic, another wasted year of no playoffs. All you gotta do is be able to hang around .500 but noooooo.

Royals were celebrating way too much there.

I forgot about that. The Royals announcers were ripping Palka so I never thought of that.

Thanks, Scoots.

So is Abreu mad at Salvy or what? Royals announcers mentioning how mad he was at striking out. Also, Palko didn't hustle on that fly ball for some reason.

Oh no Delmonico smiled after that double. Hit the next batter, Royals. Too much fun there.

They wil hit Moncada to lead off the game or Anderson his first at bat. Probably Anderson. The Royals do whatever they want. After the game Perez dumped the bucked of gatorade on Alex Gordon. But no mention of that. The years they won it they celebrated every base hit like it was the pennant clincher. Now they suck so they complain about Anderson. Plus they really care about their former dominance of the Sox and don't want that to end.

And loving on him last season ... your point?

He also ran the bases very slow. Funny about the "unwritten rules" continue to cause problems. I hate the way KC always bullies us around. Timmy should have never done the handshake thing at the end of the brouhaha.

The guy has 9 home runs. Do you realize how many he projects to hit this year? 55!!!! I love Matt D. I think he gets criticized as Paulie did at points of his Sox career. People get on righthanded hitting Sox sluggers for some reason.

Did they hit one of our guys again? Every single year these bastards start it up against the Sox and it works.

Can the guy play outfield? Catcher actually is a great idea. He doesn't look like a centerfielder to me. He looks like a Manny Sanguillen type old school catcher. Or leave him at ss and assume he'll get better.

Welcome to modern fandom where a guy like Matt D goes off again and instead of unabashed love we're begging to trade him. Sad. I prefer to praise Matt for his excellence in Kauffman. This doesn't happen often and we yawn and pray we can trade him. Great to be a fan in the 2018s

Too bad I didn't go tonight. The last 2 games I've seen in KC Kauffman were KC-Sox games and the Sox won both in 13, 14 innings. This was before the Royals were good. I did not go to one game during their mini dynasty the last few seasons.

One of the reasons our ceiling is 8 wins per month for a total of 48.

I hate that nickname. Did it stick?

I still love him. Just didn't like the stretch from Game Two until five minutes before last night's game.

He's good. Case closed is the way I see it.
