QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 03:03 AM) KW has to be so pissed right now. Losing to the pissant Royals again. Maybe he should have brought in a legit back-up 3rd baseman during waiver period?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 03:01 AM) RV in the post-game presser "It was one of those where you hope Addi can hold it....blah blah...." It's the first time all season where it seemed they were intentionally not pitching Myers cause the contract clause (since they had Axelrod warming up)

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 03:00 AM) Robin Ventura is choking in the pennant race. If Detroit was not obvious it is becoming so now. It started in Baltimore letting McLouth face Myers.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:59 AM) At least he doesn't start every hitter with a cent cut fastball... oh, wait. Unless his slider improves, he's not closer caliber in the majors. He has nothing that changes the hitter's eye level at the plate. I wouldn't be sad if KW trades him while he has value this offseason for something of value (ie: not Nestor Molina).

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:58 AM) If that's the truth then a lot of people need to apologize to Robin and crucify Coop. Honestly, if it's true Cooper calls all the shots, then I don't want Ventura as the manager. The manager should have final say, no matter what.

QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:57 AM) Coop handles the pitching staff. He's done a pretty bad job this year

ERA almost over 5, BAA around .325 since the ASB for Reed

QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:56 AM) Addison you used to be cool. What happened to his stuff? It hasn't been the same since like May. It's never been as good as advertised, unfortunately

I really can't believe Ventura thought Reed was a better option than Myers.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:55 AM) Reed just isn't that good....plain and simple. Yep

Holy cow is he bad. Yost is DESTROYING Ventura tonight. Notice he didn't have Cain bunt?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:53 AM) And here we go. One of the lease intimidating closers in baseball. I'd rather have Valverde

I hate seeing Reed here. Should have been Myers, as let's face it, Reed's barely surviving out there of late.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:50 AM) RV thinks he has to slot only 3B in the two hole, LOL. Ha, I forgot Morel batting 2nd earlier in the year.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 02:48 AM) Bad management by RV. Beckham sucks hitting and we ha DJ on te bench. What the hell is he thinking? We deserve to lose this game. Yep, severely outmanaged that inning. Again, why is Lopez batting 2nd? Also, you have to PH for him there and put Olmedo at 3b.

How about a balk or HBP here?

Overmatched...Dan Johnson cries on the bench from not being used

Beckham took a good pitch to hit on the first pitch there.

Great bunt! Beckham has to battle up there.

Here comes the bunt...nice job by Viciedo in that AB

Nice start to the inning, a wild pitch would be nice

Thornton with an awesome inning there!

2-1 after Prince homers. 3rd in 8 ABs vs Santana

KC bullpen making it look easy so far. Thornton time

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 03:27 AM) Would you guys take the Royals bullpen over ours? Easily
