***Official Twins at Royals 8/08***

[DeezNutz]

This is a remarkable day for the Royals.

First, an unbelievable pitching matchup for KC: Slowey 4.21 vs. Davies 4.41

Second, David "Iron Man" DeJesus returns to the lineup. Club officials are hopeful that no one will spit a sunflower seed in his direction.

Finally, Joey Gathright is starting his rehab assignment in Omaha. Great news! Hillman hopes that Joey can be back in the lineup soon to bring much needed power to the lower half of the order. The trainers are optimistic that, with proper conditioning, Gathright will be capable of hitting a ball, in the air!!!, to where an outfielder plays at regular depth.

[DeezNutz]

After 2, 0-0.

No hits for either team.

[KCCHIEFS27]

Alex Gordon looked decent that last AB, eh?

[DeezNutz]

Alex Gordon looked decent that last AB, eh?

No hyperbole, that was the ugliest AB I can remember seeing this year.

[DeezNutz]

1-0 Twins

Bases loaded, no outs, top 3.

[DeezNutz]

3-0 Twins. 1 out.

Throwing errors by Aviles plates the third run.

[petegz28]

Davies sucks.

[DeezNutz]

5 walks in 2 1/3 innings and Davies is done, thankfully.

[petegz28]

HTF can you not throw strikes? I don't get it? 5 walks in not even 3 innings? WTF? I don't care if they go yard just throw a ****ing strike!

[DeezNutz]

Hillman didn't seem to have much patience with Davies this evening. Wonder if it's getting close to Rosa time?

[DeezNutz]

Peralta enters. First batter...you guessed it...walk.

[petegz28]

Another ****ing walk!

[DeezNutz]

German with a great diving catch. Saves one, maybe two runs.

[KCCHIEFS27]

Rosa is about the only pitcher worth anything in triple-A. My gosh the top 3 guys in terms of innings are a combined 9-28 with an average ERA of 5.89.

[DeezNutz]

Ichi-Gload ends the no-no.

[KevB]

Teahen has transformed himself into....hot garbage. I had hopes that he'd turn into Corey Hart of the Brewers, but those dreams are just about gone now.

[KevB]

Kila Ka'aihue with another HR this evening, as well as a walk. That's 5 HRs in 32 Triple A at bats.

[DeezNutz]

Kila Ka'aihue with another HR this evening, as well as a walk. That's 5 HRs in 32 Triple A at bats.

Wow. He's trying his best to get to KC before Sept. Good for him. Too bad we can't afford to take AB's away from Gload.

[DeezNutz]

Aviles with a single. Advances to second on Teahen grounder to first. DeJesus with RBI single. Bottom 6. 1 out.

3-1 Twins.

[Delano]

Teahan clowned by Reyes. That pitch would have had 50/50 balance if it stood on a Wii balance board. RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE! lol

Guerrier will probably pitch the 8th and Nathan will close out the game. Sorry Royals fans.

[jidar]

god damnit. guess Tehan didn't justify being 2nd in the order today.. he got it but he wasted it.

[Sure-Oz]

Teahen took a fastball right down the middle, that should NEVER happen...

This guy is not a starter, i can't wait till he is replaced next year.

[DeezNutz]

Teahen has been so bad lately, I would have to think that Moore is considering other options. Too early for the Kila, but maybe Shealy and move Gload, since he HAS to be in the lineup, to the outfield.

[Sure-Oz]

Teahen would make a great younger version of Gload...with more pop. He is struggling bad though now...

btw we don't deserve to win, we've given up 9 walks!

[Sure-Oz]

German was money tonight with the golden sombrero 0-4 4k

[DeezNutz]

At most, two batters away from being over.

[DeezNutz]

Teahen would make a great younger version of Gload...with more pop. He is struggling bad though now...

I think you're right. Teahen would be a solid player off the bench, but I've seen enough, at least for '08.

[Sure-Oz]

4 hits for aviles and now the shittiest #2, #3 hitter in the majors (refering to teahen on both)

[Sure-Oz]

I think you're right. Teahen would be a solid player off the bench, but I've seen enough, at least for '08.

I would love for him to be our new gload honestly, we don't need 2 gloads on this team

[Delano]

There will not be an inside the park home run during this at bat. NOT ONE!

[Sure-Oz]

Wow, takes a fastball right down the pipe, wtf??!

[Sure-Oz]

why the hell did we hold up gload??! Nice hit teahen

[DeezNutz]

At most, two batters away from being over.

I lied. Teahen is money. ROFL

[Delano]

Nathan is playin' with y'all.

[Sure-Oz]

ok nevermind not worth the gamble

[DeezNutz]

Will our Iron Man come through?

[Sure-Oz]

I lied. Teahen is money. ROFL

I'm sure he raised that .168 avg with runners on and 2 out

[Sure-Oz]

C'mon Dejesus, this is probably the one royal we want up

[Sure-Oz]

As i type that he swings at the first pitch, god damnit

[DeezNutz]

I'm sure he raised that .168 avg with runners on and 2 out

A burned out clutch.

[Sure-Oz]

yes won 7/8 now we are going to lose 7/8

[Sure-Oz]

11 base hits, all singles, we need POWER in the offseason bad!

[DeezNutz]

Lots of drama there. Make sure to apply lotion to prevent hives.

[Delano]

I love you Royals fans.

[DeezNutz]

11 base hits, all singles, we need POWER in the offseason bad!

I would NOT spend 15 mil. for Dunn. 12-13, maybe, but NOT 15. That would be stupid.

[Sure-Oz]

im sick of us interviewing the opposing team, who ****ing cares

[DeezNutz]

I love you Royals fans.

How the heck are you a Twins fan?

[Sure-Oz]

i think Dunn could be had at that much, we do need power bad, no doubt. Our leader has 16 hrs woopty doo

[Delano]

How the heck are you a Twins fan?

I'm basically half way between Minneapolis and KC.

Baseball: Twins
Football: Chiefs

I'm being a smartass because I'm tired of listening to bullshit from people worried about David Glass's money.

11 hits, all singles. ****ing change this shit. Now.

[DeezNutz]

Ok. Location is a great reason. I was going to have to give you a verbal towel party if you were a KC resident. :D

[DeezNutz]

Great pitching matchup tomorrow night, for real.

Liriano vs. Greinke. Cool.

[Reaper16]

Nathan is playin' with y'all.
Not really. He was probably thinking about his blown save against the Royals earlier this year where Teahen hit a 3-run, inside the park HR against him.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

BOOOOO
