How come Fraser didn't have a 0.00 ERA with the Sox?He got to work with Coop. Must be the Royals way

Putnam is next up

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 09:42 PM) Well, hopefully Gordon will replace Gillaspie, win the MVP and John Danks the Cy Young. Wanna bet? Ventura Manager of the Year? Trifecta... More names not worthy of wearing a KC uniform

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 09:35 PM) That's two key at-bats of failure from Avisail. Not ready for prime time. Gillaspie's not going to be getting playing time on a playoff-contender unless he hits out of his a-- for 4 months like he did last season...repeatable? Probably not. Neither is Royals -worthy

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) Hating on the decision to bring the closer in on a tie. If you want to save him for a lead the next chance he would have is tomorrow

Robertson in

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) They may not win it tonight, but I like the passion I see from this team. Duke, Sale, Shark, Melky, Micha, they all showed some fire tonight. I know that's very meathead, but whatever, it's fun to see. I know it is not PC but sometimes you need some meat head

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 09:19 PM) WTF They threw out Sale??? He was being lifted anyway.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 09:17 PM) Cain's shirt was pulled over his head but it was tough to see anything clearly. Cain must have had his ass kicked out

The formula is to totally suck for 20 years then barely make the WC get lucky that game go on a nice run but still lose the WS and all of a sudden there is a Royals "way" and they think they are so special.

Sale is done. Duke warming up.

Bad baserunning

Vince Coleman must have worked with the Royala.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) See Hahn, Rick. It takes time to change the organizational philosophy. If Moore had been the GM for the past 20 years, your retort would be relevant here. Maybe the White Sox need an actual organizational philosophy for the minors and majors like the Cardinals put together....a guidebook for every single player in the organization to read. It's not rocket science, Buddy Bell. Most of KS line up didn't even play rookie ball with them.and most of the guys who did like Gordon and Moose are hardly ball in play guys.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) Because the Royals are taught from the beginning in short-season/rookie leagues to put the ball in play, especially up the middle... They have just been great the last 20 years

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) So what are Cubs fans excuse? They're drunk.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 03:26 PM) They don't have 2 of there best bullpen pitchers so it would be highly important to win tonight. The Sox also have Q, Danks, and Noesi pitching the next 3 so based on everyone's vibes it's doesn't look good for the next 3. Q should bounce back. Danks has been stellar vs. KC, and Noesi pitched pretty well the other night. This is a sweep.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 03:15 PM) Betances is very tough and maybe even better than advertised...you can certainly see why they were willing to let Robertson (who's been simply great for the Sox) go. Money is no object to the Yankees. A 7,8,9 of Betances, Miller, and Robertson could be in the picture for best of all time. Considering they have some starter issues, it would make sense to keep the 3 together and lower Betances paycheck once his arb clock starts.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 03:06 PM) Cubs lose and Bryant/Soler/Russell went 1-9 with 6 Ks. That's a shame.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) Royals fans are becoming as angsty as their douchebag team. I really wonder what kind of Royalmania would be occurring if Lester didn't blow a 4 run lead in the 8th inning last year, and they would have been eliminated after 1 game. Yet another reason to hate Jon Lester.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 02:43 PM) PNC Park opens southeast. Hence the word most. I think it used to be pretty standard, but several teams have built stadiums next to their old ones, and face a different way.

The other thing is Q has not had 3 bad starts. He did have a good one in the middle.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) Mr. Reinsdorf said the exact same thing to me way back in '96 or '97 (I can't remember which year) at a season tickets holders get-together in the Bullpen Sports Bar right after the end of the season. I asked him why they didn't point the stadium in the direction of downtown, and he, too, said it was because of the sun. That answer, of course, never made sense to me, given that the old park faced that direction for 80 years. I wonder if they look at LF from about 4 pm to 8pm during the summer. I believe most major league parks face NE.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 12:28 PM) dang, it is a bite getting old. but if my memory is right, they asked the question of the skyline to, i honestly think it was Eddie Eihorn (sp), who was the spoke person for the owners group and he said it was b/c the sun. the going down and the sun in the eyes of the players during day games. If he said that, it is a lie.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 01:32 PM) BigHurt3513 complains above to absolutely everything though... Lol He also added, But here we go! So it wasn't like he was totally against the idea until it backfired and then the Ha ha, Robin strikes again. You f***ing stupid bastard. He was straddling the fence ready to go either way.
