Royals 2009 Kansas City Royals Repository. - Page 60

All Royals All The Time!

After consultation with others who peruse the game threads we decided to create this as a repository for all things Royals. Minor league news, AL (ahem) Central (thanks Vonne) news and anything Royals can be found here.

alnorth will continue the game threads as usual. But if you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

If a big story breaks, you can still start a thread about it. There is merely an all inclusive thread that will make a easy for us all to keep up with all things Royals.

Welcome! "Grab a Brew... don't cost nuthin"...[spills beer on feet]

There is NO GAWDAMN reason we couldn't be as good of an organization as the Twins.....it's going to take better vision, better decision making, better personnel (players and management), getting better at ALL the little things, not ****ing up the draft, and getting Free Agents that don't, you know, suck.

Here's hoping

I agree that the Twins should be the model for us and many other franchises. Lose their two best players a couple of years ago and not miss a beat. Winning franchise all the way around, anchored by M & M in the middle of the order.

My outlook for the Royals is very bleak, though. Moosetacos is meh in A ball, and Hosmer is just starting to get wet behind the ears. Meanwhile we watch Porcello work as the Tigers #3 and Wieters get the call up in the last couple of weeks...

It's just tough to have faith in this sorry piece of shit organization.

This is exactly right! With all these low salary/small market teams stepping up and winning, we have no more excuses. Every part of this organization has been horrible for years. I don't even have patience for Dayton anymore, PUT A COMPETITIVE TEAM ON THE FIELD!

I'm posting this in all threads on the front page. You're welcome:

Since no one gives a **** about today's game, figured this thread would be appropriate to list another injury waiting to happen:

Meche, after recently saying he had a "dead arm," is allowed to start an inning with 104 pitches. Trey out to talk to Gil when he's at 117, and he leaves him in the game. Finishes with 121 through 6.

Hillman is just dumb as all ****. Hey, Trey, you stupid mother****er, Meche is under contract for 11M per for 2.5 more years. Let's try to manage him a bit so that he's available to compete at a high level throughout this contract (assuming he isn't traded).

lmmfao

121 pitches. AWESOME!

What a completely dumb motherfkr. He walked 5 batters today. I think it's safe to say he probably should have been limited to 75-80 pitches. Damn

I agree. Hillman has no business whatsoever being in charge of any type of decision. NOTHING he does makes any sense.

**DeezNutz** · 07-01-2009, 02:32 PM

At this point, I put these decisions on Dayton Moore.

Running Meche out for 121 after he claimed his arm was "dead" is a fireable offense in my eyes. Obviously Trey Edwards is this stupid.

Therefore, Moore should be in Edwards' office giving him a ceiling for the number of pitches his starters are allowed to throw. It's July 1st and we're ****ing out of contention. Let's protect these guys a little bit so that we don't shoot ourselves in the foot for future seasons.

Moore should have told him flat out "if you run Greinke or Meche out there like that anymore, you're fired". Petro was all over that about a week or so ago. And I agre 100%. Don't be blowing out arms in a season that is already ****ed off, particularly in games where we have a sizeable lead.

Sure-Oz · 07-01-2009, 03:05 PM

This is gettin ridiculous, i thought he wouldve been done at 104 at worst. i expected an 80-90 pitch count today

Since there is no game thread today, I'll use this thread to voice my frustration at scoring only 1 run on 12 hits.

That's pretty impressive, actually. Difficult work to accomplish this.

And I'd also like to

the 2 errors the team committed today. Keep up the solid work, boys.

I have officially lost patience with Trey Hillman-Edwards. I'm no longer defending him at all.
