ROYALS @ CHI SOX (The only team KC has defeated) - 4/17

[leviw]

...because there's nothing better to do...

[Mr. Laz]

has defeated...


the other way sounds totally ... um ... wrong.

[CHENZ A!]

Joe Mays' last chance?

[leviw]

has defeated...


the other way sounds totally ... um ... wrong.

Thank you. I agree. I've been googling "beat" and "beaten" trying to decide what to use. Didn't think about defeated. Rep to you.

[leviw]

Joe Mays' last chance?

Mays out before May?

[leviw]

These guys are bad. I'm not just saying that either. I mean it.

3-0 White Sox.

[Dunit35]

Atleast we are only down 3-0 in the 1st.

[Sure-Oz]

Joe May's is throwin shit

[leviw]

I like the gray unis, though. Waste of fabric for this squad, but they look nice.

[leviw]

Homer Joe Crede. 5-0 White Sox. We got two outs though. This inning will be over before you know it.

[Sure-Oz]

There is some unearned runs right there.....

2 HR's now by Mays good lord 5-0

[leviw]

7.45 team ERA isn't going to win many games, boys.

[Sure-Oz]

I have not seen such horrible SP in quite sometime, combined with a shitty offense, ugh

[leviw]

I have not seen such horrible SP in quite sometime, combined with a shitty offense, ugh

That's the thing. Elarton has been pitching very well, but we can't score shit for him. So frustrating. The good news is, didn't the White Sox score five against Affeldt in the first inning in KC when the Royals won 11-7 last Friday?

[Mr. Laz]

should cut May immediately following the game


gotta send some kind of message ....



beside the "we suck monkey scrotum" message that is. :sulk:

[petegz28]

WTF is Mays even still doing on this team?

[Chiefs_Mike_Topeka]

Can't believe its only tax day I and I am already completely apathetic to this excuse for a major league team. Hell at least last year it took until May for the apathy to set in.

[leviw]

should cut May immediately following the game


I actually miss Darryl May. He was an innings eater. These dumbasses can't get past the fourth inning.

[petegz28]

Can't believe its only tax day I and I am already completely apathetic to this excuse for a major league team. Hell at least last year it took until May for the apathy to set in.

I know it is sad isn't? We are 7 games under .500 and we have only played 11 games

[petegz28]

Joe Mays...11 1st inning runs allowed in 3 starts

[leviw]

Jose Contreras. Perfect through two...

[petegz28]

How many guys in the Royals dugout have already quit on this game do you think?

[Sure-Oz]

Elarton unfortunately faces everyone else's #1 starter too....he has been pretty solid, the rest of our staff has been a joke, and figures Bautista is hurt.

[leviw]

How many guys in the Royals dugout have already quit on this game do you think?

1) Buddy Bell

[petegz28]

Royals on pace for 30-132 record

[petegz28]

Elarton unfortunately faces everyone else's #1 starter too....he has been pretty solid, the rest of our staff has been a joke, and figures Bautista is hurt.


yes Elarton by rights should be 2-1 if not 3-0

[JBucc]

I wonder what the Royal's record would be in AAA

[leviw]

Elarton unfortunately faces everyone else's #1 starter too....he has been pretty solid, the rest of our staff has been a joke, and figures Bautista is hurt.

But hell, we brought up Joel Peralta today. That'll get us over the hump.



Whoever the f*** he is....

[petegz28]

I woould hate to see the batters vs. outs ratio on Mays

[Mr. Laz]

How many guys in the Royals dugout have already quit on this game do you think?

it's why Mays HAS to be cut immediately


you gotta show the players that they have something to lose if they don't play well.

[petegz28]

it's why Mays HAS to be cut immediately


you gotta show the players that they have something to lose if they don't play well.


I agree I would of cut him after the last game. Am I supposed to believe J.P Howell is worse than Mays?

[leviw]

it's why Mays HAS to be cut immediately


you gotta show the players that they have something to lose if they don't play well.

Sorry. I wasn't trying to point out your error in the first Mays reference. Just made me wish we still had Darryl. How sad is that?

[petegz28]

Good defense

[Sure-Oz]

What did the Royals think they had in Mays, the last 2 years in 20+ starts he had a 6.30 era and a 5.65 era. He is making Jose Lima look like Pedro.

[JBucc]

What did the Royals think they had in Mays, the last 2 years in 20+ starts he had a 6.30 era and a 5.65 era. He is making Jose Lima look like Pedro.I had a dream that Lima led the leage in strikeout's this year.

[Mr. Laz]

Sorry. I wasn't trying to point out your error in the first Mays reference. Just made me wish we still had Darryl. How sad is that?

it's ok ... i messed up and forgot the "S"


one letter really changes things, doesn't it :)

[petegz28]

At this point I blame Baird squarely. I think Glass gives Baird free reign over who comes in within budget. I just don't think Baird knows how to put a team together. Bell can only work with that he is given. Not to let him off the hook either though.

[tk13]

But hell, we brought up Joel Peralta today. That'll get us over the hump.



Whoever the f*** he is....
He was actually a good pitcher in the Angels bullpen, and of course the Angels always have one of the top bullpens in the league. A lot of people were surprised they let him go.

Joe Mays is making Lima Time look like Clemens time though. He just doesn't have it. We shouldn't have a hard time getting him to clear waivers, we gotta get somebody in there better than this.

Sure he has free reign. He's the GM. But what type of talent can you bring in with a budget like that?

Mays is throwing strikes, those ones just get out of the ballpark about 420ft.

[petegz28]

Affeldt should of been traded last year...Dye never should of been let go...and we need to sign a catcher who can call a game..Berroa should be benched everytime he brain farts...I will give Baird props on Gruds and Sanders and Meinke..just too bad they are at the end of their careers

[SoCalBronco]

Go SOX

[leviw]

He was actually a good pitcher in the Angels bullpen, and of course the Angels always have one of the top bullpens in the league. A lot of people were surprised they let him go.

Well that's encouraging. Too bad he'll never pitch with the lead.

[Sure-Oz]

Meinke is a good bench player, they should just bring huber up and put minke in late for defense imo.

[petegz28]

Sure he has free reign. He's the GM. But what type of talent can you bring in with a budget like that?


How does Minnesota and Cleveland do it? Oakland? We are relatively close to them in $'s and really I think Glass would up the $'s if the guys we brought in panned out.

We bring guys in...Glas pays them...the guys go bust....Glass loses interest in spending more money

[tk13]

At this point I blame Baird squarely. I think Glass gives Baird free reign over who comes in within budget. I just don't think Baird knows how to put a team together. Bell can only work with that he is given. Not to let him off the hook either though.
Yeah but Glass forced Baird to spend money because he was sick of people breathing down his neck over revenue sharing money, despite the fact we're still a couple years away from winning the division. Baird had to fly all over God's green earth convincing people to actually sign here, it's amazing he did as well as he did. Just like Paul Byrd, we offered him way more than he accepted from Cleveland. I guarantee you Baird's original plan was not to have Joe Mays in our rotation. Heck if our other starters could stay healthy for any period of time he might not have been in it anyway.

[petegz28]

Right now our top $ player is 3-33 on the season. I was never for keeping hm anyway. I would of cut Sweeney before Dye and made a real run at Beltran.

[leviw]

If it wasn't for that miracle 2003 season, Sweeney wouldn't be here.

[leviw]

Jose Contreras. Perfect through three...

[Sure-Oz]

Only the Royals offense can give other pitchers a consistent 6 pitch inning, work the ****ing count!!

[tk13]

Well that's encouraging. Too bad he'll never pitch with the lead.
Yeah, he pitched about 30 games for the Angels last year. Had a 1-0 record, 3.89 ERA, 14 BB, 30 K, opponents hit .219 off him... not complete earth shattering numbers but decent.

Well what other teams just have players fall in their laps? Baird didn't want to pay Kenny Rogers. Baird didn't want to pay Dye. Baird didn't want to pay Damon, Beltran, White

Instead we get Sweeney, Juan Gone, Benito Pass Me The Needle, Joe Mays


Baird has 2 long term goods going in DeJesus and Mcdougal. Everyone else is weak or old or both.

[petegz28]

Only the Royals offense can give other pitchers a consistent 6 pitch inning, work the ****ing count!!


Takes a team effort!

[petegz28]

Here is an idea.....move Brown to DH and put Ambres in LF

[tk13]

Right now our top $ player is 3-33 on the season. I was never for keeping hm anyway. I would of cut Sweeney before Dye and made a real run at Beltran.
Yeah right. We'd had to pay Beltran $200 million dollars to get him to stay in KC. People keep on saying that for eternity but that was a pipe dream... was not going to happen.

[Sure-Oz]

No way we would've been able to keep Dye and Beltran, as well as Damon, they wouldn't have signed here again.....Dye might've if out of any of them.

[leviw]

Mays is on fire. Konerko and Dye down on strikes. Sign him long term.

[petegz28]

Yeah right. We'd had to pay Beltran $200 million dollars to get him to stay in KC. People keep on saying that for eternity but that was a pipe dream... was not going to happen.


Ok maybe so. But Dye we could of kept. We could of gone after Bartolo Cologn...not the best but an upgrade none the less. I was for trading Damon for some good pitching. DeJesus is just as good defensivley and probably with the bat. Just not as fast on the bases.

You think Baird didn't want to pay Beltran? Are you nuts? Why wouldn't he? Boras was never going to work with him on that. We offered Paul Byrd the same type of money, actually more total dollars than the Tigers actually gave to Kenny Rogers. You are playing really fast and loose with the facts here.

[petegz28]

Baird's problem is mangment. He brings up AA pitchers and after they get slaughtered sens them back to AA instead of AAA. Thos kinds of moves just makes a guy go huh?

[Sure-Oz]

2 shutout innings for MAYS, stop the presses!!!

[petegz28]

2 shutout innings for MAYS, stop the presses!!!

In Mays' defense we were going to need to score 5 or 6 runs to beat the Sox anyway. Just be nice if we didn't give them to them in bunches.

[CoMoChief]

Hey cmon guys, we got John Buck for Beltran. Thats a kick ass trade IMO.

[petegz28]

So what does everyone think it is going to take to get a .500 ball club?

[leviw]

In Mays' defense we were going to need to score 5 or 6 runs to beat the Sox anyway. Just be nice if we didn't give them to them in bunches.

There's no defense for giving up five runs on two jacks in the first inning.

[petegz28]

good hit by Grudz

[leviw]

No perfect game for you, Jose.

[petegz28]

There's no defense for giving up five runs on two jacks in the first inning.


Ok that was the little bit of optimism I had left in me You have manged to stifle that. Are you happy now? :mad:

[leviw]

So what does everyone think it is going to take to get a .500 ball club?

A lot of pitching. A lot of hitting. Some defense. A solid bullpen. A real captain.

[petegz28]

Boy that Aweeny is really aweosme. Runner in scoring position ....Sweeney 3-34

[leviw]

Ok that was the little bit of optimism I had left in me You have manged to stifle that. Are you happy now? :mad:

Not at all. Sweeney's batting average just went down a couple more points. He's beyond flirting with the Mendoza line. He's making out with it.

[petegz28]

Time to bench Sweeney......

[petegz28]

See now if Sweeney would of moved the damn runner we would of just scored

[leviw]

That was super.

[petegz28]

what fight we have...what toughness

[petegz28]

I was listening to the commentators talk about how this isn't the team Baird put together because greinke Hernandez and Redman weren't here...Hernandez at best is the only one worth mentioning. Unless we are talking about a different Grienke who led the league in losses last year.

[banyon]

just tuned in.

Looks like we still got it!

[Sure-Oz]

Splitorff has a point, this team isn't healthy, before spring training we were supposed to have Zack and Twinkie Hernandez pitching. The Offense hasn't mailed it in all the games either, they've been down early and by alot and seem to get some runs in, the pitching just needs tobe there. It doesn't help that our "best" hitter is batting .120 at this point. Hopefully the other teams can keep losing or beating each other.

[petegz28]

this ump really likes that low stirke

Do you really think Grienke makes that much of a difference? Macdougal yes I will say that. Grienke....sorry he just don't have it between the ears.

[nascher]

We should have traded his 11million salary last year for some talent now he is worthless.

how about the Greinke before the "arm whisperer" Guy Hansen :Robinson: started comparing Greinke to a "young Roger Clemens" and telling him to work from his fastball.

Almost every young pitcher that comes up gets told "you can't just rely on your fastball, you have to learn how to pitch"

Then we finally land a young guy who actually pitches and Hansen tells him to do just the opposite.

More of the Glass curse. :mad:

[Sure-Oz]

Do you really think Grienke makes that much of a difference? Macdougal yes I will say that. Grienke....sorry he just don't have it between the ears.
If the dude can get that back, he can be a star in this league, he was a star in the minors, if he truly is "better" than maybe he can be the solid pitcher we are all hoping for.

I didn't like Hansen either. But he is gone. Grienke can't even get on the mound. I am sorry but I am not going to put a lot of stock in someone who is perfectly healty yet not pitching. He might be a good #4 or #5 I guess. Maybe. Can't be any worse than he was last year.

[Sure-Oz]

At this point we need all the help we can get. Greinke has all the tools to be succesful in this league, we can't give up hope on him that easy.

[petegz28]

No one is hungry on this team. Sanders is the only it seems who salivates for RBI chances.

[SoCalBronco]

Keep your head up tk13.

Crosby just hit 100 points on the assist to Malone!

[Sure-Oz]

No one is hungry on this team. Sanders is the only it seems who salivates for RBI chances.
Reggie seems to have decent ab's and Grudz hasn't looked too bad either. The rest of the team really needs to step it up.

[petegz28]

At this point we need all the help we can get. Greinke has all the tools to be succesful in this league, we can't give up hope on him that easy.


Call me old school but star ball players are hungry and want to be out there competing. Give me some kid with some fight and grit ..not someone who is just out there. We do need help. I just don't think Grienke is it.

Look at this Cantreres kid. This guy is going after batters. Throwing like he wants to win. All the talent in the world isn't any good if you don't have the attitude.

[petegz28]

Boy we are just monsters in the batters box...2k's and a fly ball WOW!

2 years ago Contreras was in NY and people were questioning his heart, wondering if he missed his family in Cuba too much.

I agree with needing the attitude, that was Zack's problem, he wasn't; fully in the game. I really hope this psychologist or whatever has worked on his issues, the guy showed little emotion, hopefully he can come back, if not, just add to the PILE of bust pitchers for this organization.

[petegz28]

2 years ago Contreras was in NY and people were questioning his heart, wondering if he missed his family in Cuba too much.


But he never quit did he? Macdougal was questioned too ....too much pressure on him after going to the All Star game really jacked with his head. Took him a year to get his stuff back. But he never quit.

[Sure-Oz]

2 years ago Contreras was in NY and people were questioning his heart, wondering if he missed his family in Cuba too much.
Yeah I remember that as well, it's amazing what a good pitching coach can do too....look what the Sox coach has done for him, Garland and Loiaza when he was in Chitown.

[CHENZ A!]

We should let Greinke play in the field on days that he isn't pitching, we could use his bat. ROFL

[petegz28]

Well maybe Zack isn't quitting.

There are some pitchers in the HOF who took a while to find themselves.

Zack is what 22? I'm with Sure-Oz give the dude a break.

It's not like he's keeping our other star young pitchers from a rotation spot. Hell, what wouldn't be better than watching Joe Mays?

[petegz28]

wow look what happens when you get up there and make solid contact. 3 straight hits....Mays SUCKS!

[Sure-Oz]

Well maybe Zack isn't quitting.

Way too young and way too talented to just throw away and not give a chance...this guy was a star that went on raw talent in the minors, if he starts listening to coaches and gets his head back in the game, the potential is there. This isn't some young scrub we are relying on.

[petegz28]

Jesus Christ I guess Bell just gave up on this game after the 1st inning to save our pitchers?

[petegz28]

10-0 on the way.....

[Sure-Oz]

Jesus Christ I guess Bell just gave up on this game after the 1st inning to save our pitchers?
Keep Mays in there, our bullpen has been out there too much as well, our starts barely avg 5 ip!

Which means this is bound to be a three-run homer...

[petegz28]

They need the work obviously. They haven't been that good when they ahve been out there except Dessens and Burgos.

[petegz28]

[Sure-Oz]

I say throw Mays out there 1 more inn....

[petegz28]

The difference between me and Buddy Bell......

6 games ago I think I would of been slinging clipboards and coolers at people all over the dugout ripping people's ass' for playing like a bunch of f*cking GIRLS!

[petegz28]

Berroa classic swing at Ball 4 for Strike 2

[Sure-Oz]

Berroa's plate discipline blows that was ball 4 douche!

[petegz28]

John Buck has improved a lot a tthe plate I will give him props on that. Good job working a walk from 0-2

[petegz28]

WTF? Why in the hell do you send Buck? WTF are you DOING?????

[petegz28]

We look like a bunch of lost bitches out there

[Sure-Oz]

WTF? Why in the hell do you send Buck? WTF are you DOING?????
I think John Buck is faster than David Dejesus.

Were you talking about Greinke or Mays in this post?

If it's Greinke I couldn't agree more.

If it's Mays, I couldn't agree less.

[petegz28]

Hey give him credit...he only walked 1 batter!

Walk #2 in the inning

[petegz28]

9-0...lead off walk scores.....imagine that

[Coach]

Christ, this game is a slaughter. I come home, and flip the game on, and I see 8-0 White Sox lead.

Custer had better numbers at the Little Bighorn than this. :shake:

[SoCalBronco]

Damn..today is a great day. Crosby hits 100 points and the Sox win!

[petegz28]

Savour those 2 wins guys....you ain't going to see another one for a LLLLLOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGG time

[shakesthecat]

One hit. That's all we got, one Goddamn hit?!
You can't say "Goddamn" on the air.
Don't worry. Nobody's listening anyway.

[Hammock Parties]

I really am starting to believe when people say that this team couldnt even beat a little league team... This is the worst baseball ive ever seen played...

[Sure-Oz]

Anyone ever thought that Contreras was pretty damn sharp tonight and to give him credit atleast? We still got our asses handed to us but their pitching was lights out, possibly a combo of our pathetic offense but still.

[petegz28]

2 pitches 2 outs

[petegz28]

I didn't think we could get worse than the Tampa series.

Boy was I wrong!

[Hammock Parties]

Wow... Just ****ing wow... this team is probably the most emberassing we've ever had here :(

[banyon]

Solid Outing by Mays.

showed why he's worth the >$1 mil we paid him.

Nice clutch hitting by the veterans.

Really showed some poise and savvy and battled deep in the count to work the Sox pitchers.

Excellent effort fielding/plate wise from Berroa. He's as steady as they come.

C'mon now! We've still got another 151 of these "games" left to go.

Let's not forget what the poet Robert W. Knight so eloquently stated....
"If rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."

[Hammock Parties]

How could we be considered a major league team playing like we are? I dont understand it, we were doing fine at 2-2 beating the sox 2 out of 3 times, then we were beating the yanks by 2 in the 7th in the first game and jeter got them the lead with a hr and it was fully downhill from there. We were looking prety good then, have they just lost all confidence since then?

I lend it to Baird before he makes critical trade decisions too.

Let's not forget what the poet Robert W. Knight so eloquently stated....
"If rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."
Geez. Get it right. It's Robert M. Knight. :shake:

Solid Outing by Mays.

showed why he's worth the >$1 mil we paid him.

Nice clutch hitting by the veterans.

Really showed some poise and savvy and battled deep in the count to work the Sox pitchers.

Excellent effort fielding/plate wise from Berroa. He's as steady as they come.
Now there's an idea, we'll just have our own fantasy game thread.

"Affeldt with another no-hitter! Ken Harvey with another 2 home run game! Yeaaaah!"

Well i can honestly say that this team will have the most losses in a season. I dont see how they couldnt lose that many... shit.....

[ImAWalkingCorpse]

Well... we are at 8 in a row. 11 more till 19 in a row. That is a REAL possibilty at this point. We can't hit, we can't pitch and we can't play defense. I don't see any player on the Royals that could start for even a middle tier major league team. I am sure we have a few that could start for the Pirates but thats about it.

I afraid those players are in Wichita.

How much does someone wanna bet that our triple A team could beat our major league team on a consistent basis?

I think our doub;e A team is the one with all the young stars, and AAA is mostly guys who have already been up in the bigs at one time or another, and couldn't stay.

okay lets say this then......our best players in our farm system could beat the majors team on a consistent basis.

Theyd win a 7 game series at least.

Royals would be SLIM favorites, and thats not good. :banghead:

Omaha is off to a decent start and so is Wichita. Why not rape and piliage their rosters for all the kids that are supposed to be the Royals saviors and bring them up now. Hell they can't be any worse than the current players. :banghead:

[alanm]

[CoMoChief]

Didnt he help team Canada beat USA in the WBC?

[CHENZ A!]

I could really care less if Gueil or Costa is our 4th OF, neither should be on any respectable team in my opinion.

[Hammock Parties]

Isnt it really funny that our 4th outfielder is tied for the lead in home runs on our team? thats damned pathetic...

I fully agree, if somebody is good enough to play god damned baseball, they'll do it. I never hear of any teams coveting their "future stars" for so damned long in the minors. Its like football, right out of college, you play, if you cant play, you dont play thats all there is to it.

[VonneMarie]

Anyone ever thought that Contreras was pretty damn sharp tonight and to give him credit atleast? We still got our asses handed to us but their pitching was lights out, possibly a combo of our pathetic offense but still.
He's a darn good pitcher... but we sucked major ass tonight. :banghead:

That's not always true. Look at Derrek Lee. Or Chris Shelton this year... Pittsburgh gave up on him and now he's tearing it up for Detroit. There are tons of guys who took a long time to develop.

[Hammock Parties]

yah your probably right tk13. I guess i just dont hear about other teams coveted stars in the minors. I think im just being onesided today, because im really depressed about my crappy ass team :-(

[leviw]

Aaron Guiel?



Er, uh....nevermind.

[thebrad84]

You know, say what you will about the royals right now, but I think they are going to turn things around and really make a run at the pennant. Once everyone is healthy and we get Grienke back...You just wait..
