Quentin leading off the bottom of the 8th. Pretty good odds on him hitting a three run shot here.

I swear that's at least the fifth time the Royals have hit a pop fly to that exact same spot.

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) So... if Beckham or Lillibridge got hurt on a play in the next two innings... who would finish the game at their position? Quentin. He'd stand on top of second base and the baseball would be stared into his glove.

Lillibomb with a 7 game hitting streak, and we are also guaranteed one more CQ at bat......at least.

Lillibomb with an RBI double!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) Uh oh...Gordon! If Quentin has decided to return to 2008 form, and Gordon actually has decided to revert to 2009 form, this team becomes even more dangerous...which is weird to say about a team about to win their 25th of 30.

Gordon gets him in! Awesome!!!

Viciedo double! Let's get him in, Gordon!

Can we pinch hit Paulie against Farnsworth?

As much as I want to say Pena deserves today's win as long as we hold on, I wouldn't object to Quentin having the (W) by his name either.

Things left to be accomplished today: 1. 1-2-3 inning by Linebrink. 2. 1-2-3 inning by Threets. 3. Lillibomb. 4. Quentin's third blast. 5. Pierzynski triple. Let's work on these.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) So, is Quentin an acceptable named for a white kid? Yes. It's also nice that this game is back into Linethreet territory.

I'd like to see us string together enough hits to get Q one more at bat. I'm selfish like that.

Dear Jesus.

Bases loaded for TCQ. He's been hitting relatively well lately.

Omar does the job, sac fly makes in 9-5.

Bases loaded for Omar.

Juan Pierre apparently takes uniform fitting tips from Brett Favre.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) This was not his first major league start. The situations are still quite a bit different. Still, tough to tell a lot from one outing.

So.....Dayan would have gotten on anyways there.....why in the hell was he swinging at that? Home scorekeeper with the infield hit, apparently that ball he hit was on fire. Gordon! Nice bloop!

Dayan's halfway to that elusive first career walk.

Rauch to face Cabrera, Boesch, Guillen in the bottom of the ninth.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) Should be Thornton in the 7th. Great job Pena! Some small part of me thinks Tony will run back out there, but who knows.

I'm really glad we have Pena.

I wouldn't mind seeing Bobby in the 9th of this one, no matter if it is a save situation or not. Hopefully we can get another inning or two out of Tony, and can stretch the lead to Linethreet territory.
