Nice 8th inning Royals...

I'm not one to go on and on berating the Royals because they suck..but today really took the cake. I can't believe I wasted part of my day watching that game on WGN.

The 8th inning was one of the worst pitched innings of baseball I've ever seen in my life. They brought in a rookie, Miguel Ascenio..for his first major league game. He proceeded to throw 16 straight balls to begin his career, not throwing a single strike....walking the first four guys and allowing a run. Then Muser finally pulled the poor guy and brought in Cory Bailey...who went 3-0 on the next hitter before getting one strike...then walking the guy. The first 19 pitches of the inning were balls, and the first five guys walked in a row. The White Sox announcer, Ken Harrelson, has been around the big leagues for 30 years or so and he said he could never remember seeing that happen. The massacre continued on as 10 players batted with only 3 official at-bats...and the Royals allowed 5 runs on 1 hit, 5 walks, 1 HBP, 39 pitches thrown, 26 balls, 13 strikes. Paaaaathetic.
