Hopefully they wake up before it's too late.

We're down 3-1 but the game is still early. Hope we can get some runs as Minnesota is winning.

terrible day already and getting worse

 

Yep, the more I think about it, the more the Cubs worry me. Their top 4 of Z, Harden, Dempster, and Lilly is ridiculous when you consider how good their offense is.

On the bright side, at least Ozzie didn't have AJP bunting. Good job Ozzie (this is not sarcasm)

Leadoff double....Contreras has no chance to consistently get hitters out when his forkball is as pathetic as it is tonight. I have a feeling he's hurt, and it might be his back or his legs. Him pitching at Texas this weekend won't be fun.

This is going to be a LONG night.

Nice pathetic effort so far by the team. Man the f*** up, start catching the ball, pitching the ball and hitting the ball. I am sick and tired of making the bad Royals into a better team by playing like s*** when we play them. This team is going to lose a s***load of games. Lets take advantage of them like other teams.

 

 

Nice play Paulie!

Wow this is ridiculous...

Wow this is ridiculous...

 

Don't worry, Ozzie will make sure he gives us at least 6 innings. With Bobby not playing, he is so scared to hit his pen he will put this game in the s***ter.

 

Get the pitcher the win over the team. Thats our motto.

i hope broadway gets the call when bobby goes to the DL and pitches well enough to get a look over jose

The sad part about this game is that Jose has the best fastball I've seen from him all year, consistently in the 93-94 range If he could have gotten bite on the forkball, I think he'd have about 6 Ks by now, along with no runs. Jose goes as his forkball goes.

Over the last 31 innings, Contreras has allowed 62 hits and walks.

The Royals have him at 89 on the fastball so...

Contreras looks like horses*** now....I can't believe some people actually said he's be the one they want starting in the playoffs.

when its all said and done the extension to jose may go down as KWs worst move as a GM, its certainly up there

 

at least ryan dempster just walked 4 guys to force in a run

Remember how Ozzie was saying the whole season is not up to Danks or Floyd but how does Contreras pitch.

Didn't KW trade for Todd Ritchie?

Really? WCIU has had him consistently at 92-94 I guess you take gun readings with a grain of salt then.

yeah i think he did, and that certainly is one of the worst..... kip wells had two pretty solid years for the pirates after that...but beyond that fogg and wells kinda sucked so that trade gets criticized mroe than it should IMO

WCIU gun is fast, as Davies doesn't throw 93 mph like they're saying he does.

What an awesome night. Watching the game on crappy non-HD DirecTv, Jose sucks, and the Tigers and Twins will most likely win.

The same fools who operates the sat feed with bubble gum, shoe laces, and duct tape are the same ones who bought the ebay special jugs gun they are using.

Dude actually still could have thrown Konerko out.

I am waiting for teams to put on a dramatic shift for Pauly. If its on the ground, its to the 3rd baseman.
