Nice 8th inning Royals...

tk13 · 04-06-2002, 04:56 PM

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.

The whole frikkin game was that bad.

The sad thing is, I think today was the Royals' one and only chance to reach the .500 mark during the '01 season (how sad is that...). They're 1-3 now, and heading off on a road trip to Boston, Cleveland and Minnesota...

Way to outsmart 'em, Tony. Hey, what's that sound?

It's Mr. K spinning in his grave.

"We couldn't believe it was happening," Buehrle said. "We were actually feeling sorry for the guy even though he was walking our guys and we were scoring runs. You never want to see a guy do that bad."

That's it Tony. Lull them all into feeling sorry for the pitching staff.

A lot of people think Carl Peterson is incompetent. If you want to see true incompetence, look at Herk Robinson and Allard Baird ...

These guys should be run out of town.

When a baseball team loses by two touchdowns, they've got problems...

Didn't even know they were playing. Happened upon the game while channel surfing in the 6th. After seeing the score, I was glad i didn't. Then came the 8th. I have been saying that Luser should have been fired last season. Who is responsible for evaluating the players. Ascencio should not have been on the roster.

Three drunken shoe-shine boys and a 42 year old fifth-grader. Quality staff, I must say.

I used to be so proud of the Royals. The downward spiral since Mr. K died just makes me sick. How low can we go?

DaWolf · 04-06-2002, 08:45 PM

On the bright side, I get to go see Barry Bonds at Pac Bell Park tomorrow...
