LOL at our hitters against Francis, one of the worst excuses for a pitcher in baseball.

 

At least there will be no expectations next year. KC will be picked to finish ahead of the Sox.

Royals now 28-31 since the All-Star Break.

Mark has given up 11 hits and 3 runs (only) through 5 innings. Sox still struggling with the bats. Terrible didpaly here. Maybe they will finally come out of it in the next 4 innings?

Flowers surprised me. I thought Cy Francis was going to whiff him with the fastball.

Nice sac fly.

Morel should have smashed that 2-0 pitch ... and that 2-1 pitch.

They were meaty.

Jeff Francis six strong innings.

What a joke.

 

 

Boy the Sox stink.

6-2 KC.

Royals see this as a statement series to show what the Sox and rest of the division are in for next year.

They are on the upswing with young hitters. Still shaky starting pitching tho.

MB your table is ready!

I wonder how long it'll take us to contend again.

This is as bleak an outlook as we've had in a long time.

Team still can't beat Central Div. teams (except for Minnesota of late), can't win at home and is mediocre on the road.

But is it really any more bleak than at the end of the 2007?

 

Back then, the only hope for the future was Josh Fields. Owens, Wasserman and Andy Gonzalez made some contributions...but it was pretty clear those guys weren't exactly "can't miss" prospects.

 

Maybe because of the payroll this year and the ongoing disappointment of 2009-2011 as well as the discord between KW and Ozzie...it might be a bit more bleak, but 2007 really was quite a slap in the face after 2005 and 2006.

Boy the Sox stink.

6-2 KC.

Greg, how many years have we been saying this about the Royals?

 

Until they get the quality starting pitching, at best they are a .500 club but probably not even that unless Moustakas can start hitting with authority.

I wish we could play the Twins some more.

They are mental midgets. Losing is a habit for them.

 

Wow.

 

who thought this team would be eliminated with TWO WEEKS left in the season?

 

What an embarrassment.

Not unlike us against the Tigers, Twins and Royals for most of the past 3 seasons.

 

Where our homefield advantage went is one of the biggest mysteries yet unsolved by this organization.

Buehrle doing his best to have teams worry about his arm heading into the offseason. Really ugly finish for him. Viciedo is in a terrible slump and Flowers is a joke of a contact hitter.

The Sox are the first team I think of when it comes to mental midgets. They don't show up for big games. They don't beat the teams they are suppose too.

 

Maybe we are blinded to how bad this team is. If Dunn was living up to expectations, someone else on this team would offset that.

BTW TB is hammering Boston.

1.) This time I think they are going to acquire a starting pitcher via trade or free agency to go with Chen as a decent 1-2 with that young lefty, I forget his name. They have some young pitching coming up. Their lineup is for real this time unless Melky and Francour turn into s***.

2.) Can't argue with any of that. Dayan now looks like Billy Butler as a high ceiling (no home runs) and Flowers has been a joke and Mark as you said is getting rocked like that line smash off his body. Yikes we stink.

Mr. Foul Ball is up, Gordon Beckham.

LOL at Lexi getting mad at Francour for trying to throw him out at first on a single to right.

Fail Lexi.

 

So Lexi thinks he can just loaf on a single to right and the rightfielder should just not hustle as well?

Our.Team.Sucks.

 

KC will win all 4 as they did vs. Minnie.

BUT THINK OF THE DRAFT PICK!

Losing definitely doesn't hurt right now.

Cleveland isn't doing us any favors unfortunately.

Seriously, can you believe Lexi?

He glared out at Francour.

Maybe he was kidding, but it didn't seem that way. And he was almost out on a single to right.

Now Lexi loafs?

 

Poor Ozzie goes out like a lamb.
