Uncommon Survivor: Redemption Island - Week 5
Last time on Uncommon Survivor; There is no joy in Mudville, Might Russell has struck out. But you know what? I'm doing okay. I think we're going to be just fine, for we have someone new to "Phil" the role of irritant. The best news is that he's been secured by tribal brass (Rob) as a commodity....
Anger Sweeps Across The Land As Royal Bullpen Blows Another Greinke Start
That was a true team loss tonight, a franchise loss. Ultimately, all there really is to say, is that when games like this one become routine, your baseball team is unacceptable. When the fans were booing in the eighth, I think many of them were booing the entire situation, as opposed to just one...
Yes, That Happened. Royals Lose 1-0 and Fail to Support Greinke Again
It's getting harder and harder to care about this team on a daily basis. I actively dislike about half the roster at this point and I'm somewhere between really and truly rooting for losses and rooting against seeing a mirage at the end of the season that makes everyone think that everything is ok....
Royals Waste Another Strong Greinke Start, Lose to the Immortal Luke French
Well that was horrible. Horribly predictable (zing!). Zack Greinke is -- no hyperbole here -- having one of the best seasons a pitcher has had this decade, and the Royals are 10-8 in his starts. 10-8. I think my favorite stat of the night is that Billy Butler had three doubles, and neither...
Positive Thoughts Open Thread
We've (meaning mostly "I've") gotta mix it up a little bit, if only for a few hours on a Saturday morning at the very least. I think in the last four or five days I've probably set some kind of record for most consistently sustained bitterness in blog posts, comments, twitter potshots, etc....
King-Sized Letdown as Royals Blasted by A's in Long-Awaited Luke Hochevar Debut
I know you're angry! (Harvey Milk voice) I'm angry! But hey, Cleveland is 12-22! (crowd cheers madly) ## So, it was another loss, only this one was a laugher, a game that was over by the third inning. Hochevar made all of our whining and pining look pretty silly, though he also looked like a...
A Stunner in the Twin Cities: One of the Worst Royal Lineups of the Decade Falls to the Twins
I'm tired of watching Ross Gload. I'm tired of watching Jose Guillen. I have a vague unsatisfied desire to see what Ryan Shealy can do. I would love to see Kila. Personally, I'm bored with Billy Butler, but would nevertheless prefer to see him play. Instead, we got Gload at first (1-4 with an...
57-79
For some reason, this feels like one of the worst losses of the season. Sure, True Royal Alberto Callaspo bruised, battered and assaulted three pitches for base hits, but we lost season-saving folk hero Mike Aviles to a potential injury (someone say X-rays negative?) and got to see the ball in Kip...
Bitterness
Tigers 33, Royals 6. But hey, they denied Armando Galarraga his perfecto. I credit Hillman's leadership, especially that "put away the chairs" thing he did in Spring Training. Oh, and league average superstar Jose Guillen's feisty attitude. He won't let this bunch accept failure. Even with four...
Balked
Did the Royals not speak to the media after the game? I've just read the AP game story, the official website story and Dutton's story with the Star. No quotes. Obligatory fangraphs representation: via www.fangraphs.com Full disclosure here: I more or less took this game off, although...
