Ugly JD

Threw him the same pitch 4 in a row.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA,

Ugh. There it was.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 02:07 PM) Is Alexei just swinging at everything? He's looked atrocious thus far. Take a pitch and get ahead, then look for that fastball... It's hard to get ahead when Davies is pounding the strike zone. They might as well go ahead and swing away.

Matt Thornton is awesome

I'm glad we have Mike McDougal.

ball 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...

We're not able to hit in April? Whats going on here?!?!

Are you ready for the summer? Are you ready for the good times? Are you ready for the sunshine to come down... to come down?

I'm ready for some RA Dickey

It's a good thing that the Royals have Ponson and Ramirez at the backend of their rotation.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 04:03 PM) Practically any hardcore fan of any team will have the same complaints we have... because we become so attached and see them day in day out. For anyone that does not believe me, go read any of the main forums for some other teams, we are really not much different than others. Btw, a line-up with getz, quentin, ramirez, anderson, and fields is not as slow as soxtalk cracks it up to be. Most teams have ''base cloggers'' in the middle of the line-up. Get over it. The 3-6 hitters are the boppers and speed is not a necessity, of course is a bonus, but not what you are looking for out of them. Year in, year out we get good base running out of thome (one of the best in baseball), dye, and konerko (if you noticed i did not mention the rest of the team). wow, you're feeling good today bein so positive.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 03:39 PM) Well, then the Royals have the two perfect ones going by that description in DeJesus and Crisp. I still have no idea why we didn't go after CoCo...he'll give you a 350 OPB or so and not hurt you offensively or defensively. I think he would actually be almost the perfect fit for this team (I know that ship has already sailed) and it's just aggravating we didn't make an offer. I can see not spending that money on Taveras...by the way, Homer Bailey is back down in the minors, I wonder if we could still make the Dye for Bailey/Dickerson trade with Jocketty? They traded a pretty good 8th inning guy in Ramirez to get Coco. After 1 game that's not lookin so hot.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 02:48 PM) still trying to figure out why they didn't bring in Mahay to face Thome...but I'll take it. That whole 8th inning was a clusterf*** for the Royals.

The fact that this thread is going to have more replies than the postgame thread makes me sad.

Someone change the title. It does not reflect the appropriate level of excitedness

Cmon Bobby!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) JD singles to LF for his first hit of the year. 2nd

STARTING OFF CLUTCH@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrible situation hitting today.

No more ground balls Carlos.

Meche pitching well today.

Now would be a good time for our first homer of the year.
