Lord knows I've defended the Royals too many times to count and while I am still very hopeful that the turn around will continue in a bigger, bolder way this season I too have to join the ranks of the WTF! screamers regarding Farnsworthless even being part of this team... let alone for $9 million this season.

I like a lot of what Dayton Moore has done... and I tried to look past what the Farnsworth signing seemed like when we did it, hoping they knew better than everyone else in the free world and he would pitch like he used to be able to.. when he could pitch... and it's just one game, he could still turn it around and be productive... but we've all seen yesterdays scenario play out too many times to really believe that. I was nervous as we kept stranding runners all day that 2 runs weren't going to be enough... Meche didn't have enough room for error as usual and the bullpen didn't have my confidence... especially if Farnsworth was called upon. When he came in I actually sent a text to a friend that said "here comes Farnsworthless to ruin Meche's gem" and what... about 5 batters later... I was thoroughly disgusted and still am.

I blame Dayton for the signing... I blame Hillman for the decision to bring him in in a one run game with power coming up when Mahay and Cruz were in the bullpen... I blame the baseball Gods for ruining another perfectly good outing by one of our starting pitchers...

I don't let myself get mad at sports anymore. I left that behind a long time ago. But when Thome cleared the fence I was mad and I still am. I'm so tired of this shit every year.

Luckily there are 161 games left for me to stop over reacting. I hope to God I don't feel the need to again.

I'm not big on 'bet the farm bets' but if Vegas was laying odds on this I'd be all in.

On the Royals blowing it more... or on me over-reacting?

LOL

Every time Thome comes up this season...

And I mean EVERY TIME....

You stick one in his ear.

Damn. He and A.J. Pusszoosky?

this

Rany should have targeted his attack on the Royals' lack of RISP hitting which occurred in at least 5 innings against a pitcher that lacked control, rather than shredding the manager's choice of pitcher going against and failing to still the heart of the Sox line-up.

I was gonna bitch about that too but I'd done enough... heh.

Good bets..

:)

IMO the Marlins do it better than anyone. Pick almost any one of their stud players over the years and they got them in return for one of their other stud players in a trade. They get phenomenal return when it comes time to deal them to a bigger market team. That small market team actually gets to the post season and when they have in the past, they bring home titles to show for it.

Bounce one off Thome's ass.
Just don't run like a pussy after you do it...
