Seriously, Hos? This guy.....

[gblowfish]

Another bad AB for Hosmer. No patience at the plate at all.

[petegz28]

Way to work him, Hosmer......you clueless ****

You are going to win at least 60 and lose 60. That's just baseball for you.

Watching this Royals offense is a grind.

Jesus, you guys.....

How many games have we lost because we scored less than four runs? A shitload. We're lucky our pitching staff is so good. It's the only reason we've been able to stay in the race, because we can win an occasional game scoring just three or four runs.

We got hot and won ten straight for the first time in 20 years.

We'll probably go back to being a .500 club now for a long stretch.

That's what this team really is.

[petegz28]

Denny talking up Elias....you don't have to be good when guys are swinging at anything you throw

This is what I was trying to get to Mr. Laz earlier. You are going to have winning streaks and losing streaks no matter how good or how bad the team is.

This isn't football where the entire season weighs heavily on one particular game.

That was a nice pose from Morrison on the infield pop up to Esky.

[BlackHelicopters]

We have to get this guy some runs

and what i was trying to get across to your moronic ass is that i wasn't talking about the entire season.

I was talking about how the team playing in 1st place or playing 'in the pack' are very different in terms of pressure. You were so busy trying to lecture me on how to be a 'proper' baseball fan that you completely missed the point.
