New Blue Tradition


For post 2000 I declare that the Royals will sweep the Cards... :thumb:

[Old Dog]

2 out out 3 would make me awfully happy.

[Kraus]

2 out out 3 would make me awfully happy.

Same here. Hopefully CHC, MIL, COL, and CIN all do their jobs and the Royals might be sitting well.

[DeezNutz]

Going to be difficult with Pujols back in the line-up. But I'm hopeful for a series win for the guys in blue.

Especially tomorrow with Davies. We just need to stay away from the big inning.

True. Mulder isn't going tomorrow, however, for whatever that's worth.

I was thinking that Davies might be developing into a legit. player, but Rany convinced me otherwise. Check out his thoughts on Davies for an interesting read--I think it's in his latest entry.

What's the pitching matchup for Sunday?

Looper v. Bannister

Bannister for KC

[DeezNutz]

Looper v. Bannister

Thanks. Though this is never a safe statement with the Royals, it looks like the pitching matchups for the series favor the home team.

[DeezNutz]

Rany's thoughts on Davies appear in his entry for 6/23. Thought I'd correct my mistake since Rany's notes are rather lengthy.

[ROYC75]

ANOTHER SWEEP ? :D

[StcChief]

let's keep the brooms in the closet for now.

[beavis]

Looper v. Bannister

A looper? You know a caddy, a jock.

[CrazyPhuD]

How about the Zamboni's then?

[StcChief]

How about the Zamboni's then?
yeah, that'll do wonders to to Kaufmann field.ROFL

[CrazyPhuD]

What you've never seen baseball on ice?

[Dartgod]

A looper? You know a caddy, a jock.
Heh. His first name is Braden. B. Looper. LMAO

[CoMoChief]

Pujols is almost guaranteed to hit one out at Kauffman. I can't remember a series where he didn't.

[Third Eye]

Heh. His first name is Brandon. B. Looper. LMAO

Close.

[ChiefsCountry]

Royals will take 2 out of 3. They will lose Saturday, my friend is going up to the game so you know they will lose.

[Dartgod]

Close.
Sorry, I didn't pay enough attention. Fixed now.

[Kraus]

Bump for gametime.

[ChiefsCountry]

Mark Teahan just robbed Pooholes.

[Kraus]

Great play by Teahen!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

Buck made another nice catch on the pop up. Bottom of 1 we go, 0-0.

[Kraus]

Meche gets out of the jam.

[Kraus]

Bases loaded for Grudz.

:)

[doomy3]

Pineiro off to a great start!

[Smed1065]

OMG, They are starting out good?

:banghead:

[Kraus]

Dammit....DP.

Both teams not cashing in on scoring opportunities.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

Grudz bails them out by hitting into a DP, ****

[Smed1065]

Grudz bails them out by hitting into a DP, ****

Whew, I was afraid of scoring early and then..........


Well, start fast and die fast. Just seems to be the way this year.

:p

[Kraus]

1 Run in!!!!

Bases loaded for Aviles!!!

[Kraus]

Gordon just missed a Grand Slam the other day. Maybe he'll get his first here.

[ChiefsCountry]

Come on Alex.

[Adept Havelock]

Thank you Alex!!! Nice double! 4-0 Royals.

[Kraus]

HOLY **** a 3-Run double! That'll work!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

3 run double by AG.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

ALEX ****ING GORDON!!!!!

[Nightfyre]

So, what if the royals traded for teixeira. That would be the perfect addition to this team, imo. 30-40 HRs and .270 avg. Whats the vote?

Depends on what we have to give up. How about we send them...Pena Jr., Gathright, Yabuta, Gload, and Shealy. :p

[Kraus]

Nice job by Meche to shut down the top of their lineup following our big inning.

[Nightfyre]

Depends on what we have to give up. How about we send them...Pena Jr., Gathright, Yabuta, Gload, and Shealy. :p

Well, Dayton Moore raked the braves over the coals the last time he made a trade with them :D

[tk13]

Aviles with a real nice play.

[doomy3]

Great play up the middle by Ailes

[Sure-Oz]

[schneider221]

[ChiefsFire]

[Kraus]

Gordon stepping up tonight with 4 RBI's already.

[Smed1065]

Sweet, knew better than to score in the first inning.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

Sweet, knew better than to score in the first inning.

[Coach]

Sit your ass down Pujols.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

[Sure-Oz]

One pitch = out. Awesome job of minimizing the damage.

Im glad he didn't give in....great job minimizing the damage

[Kraus]

Meche has really been outstanding in his last three outings. Hopefully he can keep it up.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Have to give the KC pitchers credit. They've done a fine job against the cards in the 4 games.

[Sure-Oz]

David Clutch Dejesus delivers again

[BigRock]

NOBODY F**KS WITH THE DEJESUS

[Mr. Arrowhead]

[Kraus]

Where is Mecca? I thought he told us that DDJ was only good for a backup outfielder on a real Major League team.


League-leading .473 RISP

[Hammock Parties]

god damnit why are they bringing in peralta!? this can't be good...

[Mr. Arrowhead]

DP biatches

[petegz28]

[Hammock Parties]

WOOOHOOOOOO!! This team is ****ing fun to watch

[Coach]

Ballgame. Royals win the game!

[Mr. Arrowhead]

ROYALS WIN!!!

[Pitt Gorilla]

The Cards suck almost as bad as the rest of the NL.

[KcMizzou]

Jesus... these guys are on a tear.

I mean, the NL can't be that much worse. The Royals are just playing some damned good ball right now.

[alanm]

4 in a row over the Cards. And take the series for the year. Royals reign supreme. :thumb:

[Mr. Arrowhead]

longest winning streak since 2003, when we started 9-0

[eazyb81]

Jesus... these guys are on a tear.

I mean, the NL can't be that much worse. The Royals are just playing some damned good ball right now.

I don't know, the NL is pretty f'n awful. A handful of AL teams would be the best team in the NL.

[keg in kc]

Jesus, they're almost within striking distance of .500.

[doomy3]

Nice win

[KcMizzou]

I don't know, the NL is pretty f'n awful. A handful of AL teams would be the best team in the NL.Bad AL teams?

I agree that the AL is the better league... I just think that you can't put it all on the inter-league play thing. KC's really coming around. It's a lot of fun.

It just bugs me to hear, "Well, it's just the NL." Give 'em some credit.

[Kraus]

Jesus, they're almost within striking distance of .500.

6 games IIRC.

[Hammock Parties]

6 games below .500. **** YEAH!!!!!!

[eazyb81]

Look at the rest of the AL Central teams - they're all on hot streaks.

Do you really think it's just a coincidence that we're all playing well during interleague play?

[KcMizzou]

Do you really think it's just a coincidence that we're all playing well during interleague play?No, I'm sure that plays a part. But to say that's all it is, takes away from what they're doing right now.

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

[tk13]

Yeah, playing the NL probably helps... but hopefully it carries over back to the AL somehow. I'm guessing it'll be tough when we get back into division games. The offense isn't elite or anything, but DeJesus/Aviles/Gordon/Guillen are performing like a legit 1-4 threat in the lineup... and that's jumpstarted the offense. Then you have 5 legit starting pitchers and a great closer, and that makes you a pretty decent team.

Be nice if we can add a .290 avg butler like last year

[irishjayhawk]

Be nice if we can add a .290 avg butler like last year

I bet he makes an appearance after the end of this Interleague stint.

[ChiefsCountry]

The Royals have the Orioles next, the team that has given us the most trouble the last few years.

It just bugs me to hear, "Well, it's just the NL." Give 'em some credit.You don't go 11-2 if you're not playing good ball, regardless of the quality of your opponents.

They're not finding new and creative ways to lose, we need to enjoy it while we can.

[teedubya]

God Bless you, Baby DeJesus

Suck it St. Luis
