And I'll take my 2-0 Game Thread Record to 3-0!!!

Will the game be played ? I'm hoping to go but worried about the weather.

 

Sitting at work looking out the window, I wish I was at the game. Ed says it is hot out though so maybe I am good in the AC. Thanks Ed.

 

Grudz hit in the head but fear not he's ok.

 

Ed says it's the arm angle. Hasn't that been the case for three years. 1st and 3rd - 1 out.

 

Maybe after getting hit in the head Grudz will run to left instead of home.

 

2-0 Royals still top of 1, I bet Gload tries to steal.

Nice to see our submarining cuban is up to the task today.

 

Why the f*** is Erstad hitting in front of Dye. Jesus.

someone tell me again why Contreras is in the rotation and instead of seeing what Floyd could do over an extended period of starts, he is in the pen?

I'd hate to see Dye here, Erstad has pictures of someone.

Erstad is clutch and grinderlicious.

 

Ed continues to tell us it is hot out there seven different ways.

 

Uribe is the rally killer man he sucks.

 

2-2 -----A nice outing by Count today and early next week and maybe an NL Central team will take him. Come on Count retire the next 24 no more hitting them in the head (or grill)!!!!

 

Ed liking Erstad right now, Hawk has to be wet. A defensive show in left by Grinderman!

 

Ed unhappy with the walk, you go Ed. Count a couple of innings away from 9-7 instead of 6-15........ok Ed.

those were 2 nice catches by Erstad.

Ed is furious at the pitch selection as well is being irrate Gathwright did not steal second. After 3 pitches 2 outs, a walk, and 3 hits 4-2 Royals.

 

The arm slot is killing Ed

 

Count is toast, why is he still putting on cleats plese DL him and hope he retires or his wife appears in a Snapped episode on Oxygen......

 

Ed wants to fight Gathwright after pounding his chest after making a catch.

 

Ed going to fight Count for throwing sidearm as well. Ed still fired up about 2 out 2nd and giving up the runs

I had to Google "Snapped" and once I did, damn. That is classless.

The inning was exciting.

 

Didn't realize Cintron was back on the brevement list........I'll leave the classless humor alone as there is plenty of material here. Most Sox fans have been on the brevement list since late May though.

J.O. covering a lot of ground in center

I have a weird feeling that the benches are going to clear today

Seems about right for this season.

Checking Game Day and I see that Jose has his usual first inning problems followed by second inning problems. He has allowed at least 8 baserunners in 5 innings and 4 runs. It is so frustrating when a pitcher gives up runs and the offense bails them out and then they immediatly give up more runs.

someone tell me again why Contreras is in the rotation and instead of seeing what Floyd could do over an extended period of starts, he is in the pen?

 

 

It might be because Floyd has already shown he sucks as bad as Jose. I sure don't need to see more of that this season, but I do want to see whether Jose and his $10M contract are worth keeping for another year.

We are guaranteed to have Jose next year. It's not a question of whether or not his contract is worht keeping.

 

We are not guaranteed to have Floyd next year, so the question is...do we have any reason to want him. He's at least given us 1 good start, which is just about as many as Jose in the last 2 months.

Don't you think they are more apt to keep Floyd in the organization at least because of youth and try to get Jose straightened out possibly for trade bait? One good start and 5 or 6 bad outings by Floyd were not encouraging to me. I am following your line of reasoning though.

This Bannister kid for KC must be pretty sharp. I see that Jim Thome took three straight called strikes for the K in the bottom of the 5th! Fooled or what?

Edited August 22, 200718 yr by elrockinMT

Sounds like the Royals are make nice/great plays on every hit ball.

Good call KW in picking up Mike Myers. He's just what we needed down the stretch.

Josh fields loves to strike out when its late in the game.

Anxiously awaiting Pratt's post in 3....2....1.....
