QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) They owned that Greinke trade. I said it then and I think it now. What pick do they have in this upcoming draft?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) Jeffress is sick. I hate to say it, but the Royals are gonna be a powerhouse soon. Yes, powerhouse. They've got too much sick talent. They just need half of these guys to pan out. Indeed

Morel just seems so weak to me at the plate.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 09:08 PM) Morel has no chance here. I would have had Omar bat

Can Morel catch up to the heater?

AJP will be asked to bunt...rather give Smokey the chance to get wild.

Thanks Thornton, I have Ohman on my fantasy team and you just cost him the win!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) WHy is everything thrown away? Pitch inside! Thornton's been that ways against lefties always.

Wow, this is pathetic. None of our relievers have been able to finish off these hitters. Got up 0-2 on Butler, and then let a crappy hitter in Kila beat us.

I love following games via game thread and then just seeing a lot of exclamation marks

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) I can't think of anyone on here who wanted to keep him. Plus with the way the FA market crumbled because of the financial crisis, there was no one taking on salaries and giving back real prospects at that time. Anything else there is revisionist history. Yet giving away Gio, Carter, and DLS for one year of Swisher and then getting no useful parts back doesn't make it a debacle of a trade? You look at the lack of depth in this organization, and that trade plays a pretty important part in it.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) Just got home. Why was Pierre DHing? If one of our OF should be DHing, it should be Q. Agreed, makes no sense

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 08:34 PM) Away? You wanted to keep him? Yes, we traded way too low on him. If nothing else, wait another month and try to get a package better than what you'd get for trading away junk for junk.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 08:32 PM) Kenny's worst move ever. And that's saying quite a bit. As he hasn't made a good one since before the '08 season. That doesn't even come close to comparing to the debacle of the Swisher trade for and then trade away.

Big F up by Ozzie not playing Pierre in LF today. And please, just cut Teahen from the roster. Way too many worthless players on this roster right now.

Konerko always seems to struggle defensively to start the season. Strange, as he picks it up big time over course of the year.

Therapist strikes!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 07:46 PM) So with Humber going today, will he be available to start on the 9th? Yes, they said as long as he went before Thursday, he'd be starting on Saturday.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 07:44 PM) I'll see your CQ and raise you Alex Rios Quentin's hit .211 and .213 vs LHP the last two years.

When he's healthy, I hope we find a way to get Viciedo some AB with the big league club against LHP.

QUOTE (peanut33tillman @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 08:39 PM) Is anyone even interested in this game anymore? If you leave now, you can get to KC and buy outfield seats for when Ohman comes in.

Me no likey watching Quentin face LHP.

Soft tossing lefty on getaway day with home opener tomorrow is recipe for disaster. Thing is, bats better show up tomorrow against David Price. Don't want to lose that game and rely on Humber if you want to win that series.

Whenever I get demoralized about an early season loss, I think back to 2005 when Shingo blew a 3 run lead to the Indians in Game 3 of the season by allowing 3 home runs in the 9th. I'm sure none of us could sleep that night either.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 08:32 PM) You're the one making excuses. You claim hitting coaches are pointless then when I suggest the changing of ours you avoid the idea? Typical around here. When bad habits don't change, you try new things, simple as that. This team has been offesively stupid for years now and no one's gonna say Walker has *nothing* to do with it. Instead of changing the hitting approach, I'd rather there be a change in the mind-set that outs while up to bat need to be valued, so stop making stupid running blunders on the bases and eliminate stolen base attempts. On the other side, show some type of proactivity in holding runners on or pitching out in obvious steal attempts.
