[Reaper16]

Why the FUCK is Bloomquist starting in RF and not Mitch Maier? Maier's bat and OF glove exceed Willie's.

[58-4ever]

Time for the bats to pay Meche back

[alnorth]

Why the **** is Bloomquist starting in RF and not Mitch Maier? Maier's bat and OF glove exceed Willie's.

You got me. I'd sarcastically say jet lag, except I dont think Maier crossed any time zones.

[Reaper16]

"We've got to find a way to get <st><s>Douggie</s></st> <st><s>Gloady</s></st> Willie some at-bats."

[WoodDraw]

Look at that lineup!

I'll set the over/under on runs tonight at 2.

[Priest31kc]

You got me. I'd sarcastically say jet lag, except I dont think Maier crossed any time zones.

We're facing a lefty thats why.

[alnorth]

Should be interesting. This weekend the irresistable force (Texas awesome hitting, crappy pitching) meets the unmovable object (KC weak hitting, awesome pitching).

The old saying says that good pitching beats good hitting, but who wins between bad pitching and bad hitting?

[SnakeXJones]

Atleast Bloomquist is batting 9th i would be pissed if he was batting 2nd like he has been

[kstater]

I finally get to see a game.

These Red alt uniforms the Rangers have got on are horrid. They're like infrared.

[kstater]

An 8 pitch walk. Good way to start.

[Reaper16]

Hopefully Harrison will display the same amount of control all game that he has through the first two at-bats.

[petegz28]

Fox Sprots sucks...the guide doesn't say the game is on.....the Royals scheduled says it is in Fox-Hd....only it isn't in Fox HD, it's on the regular FSN channel that says the game isn't on that channel......sheesh

[SPATCH]

fuck... they're showing the astro's game in my viewing area...

[Rigodan]

Wow. The Rangers got their starting SS, C and todays starting pitcher from the Braves in the Texiera deal. I'd say they got the best of that one.

[petegz28]

Great play by Avilles.....now WTF is Alice out tonight?

[SPATCH]

Wow. The Rangers got their starting SS, C and todays starting pitcher from the Braves in the Texiera deal. I'd say they got the best of that one.

almost as good as the beltran deal... right guys?

[Reaper16]

Great play by Avilles.....now WTF is Alice out tonight?
...

The Royals put him on the DL yesterday. He has already has hip surgery.

[alnorth]

Great play by Avilles.....now WTF is Alice out tonight?

heh, he's out for like 2 months

[petegz28]

...

The Royals put him on the DL yesterday. He has already has hip surgery.

[Archie F. Swin]

I always thought the Strangers looked better in red....you know, back in the Will Clark days

[Archie F. Swin]

Micheal Young is my favorite Ranger....solid, solid player

[alnorth]

well, if Bloomquist cant hit, then the least I'd expect out of him is to make the pitcher throw lots of pitches. So, not bad so far by those low standards

[SPATCH]

I always thought the Strangers looked better in red....you know, back in the Will Clark days

i like calling them "the rusty greer days"

[Archie F. Swin]

i like calling them "the rusty greer days"

indeed

[petegz28]

CEREAL!!!!!!! You go mother fucker!!!!

[Archie F. Swin]

CEREAL!!!

[Reaper16]

ARE YOU FOR REAL?

NO, I'M CE-REAL!

[Mr. Arrowhead]

[KcMizzou]

Hell, yeah. That'll work.

[SAUTO]

[SAUTO]

I love me some COCO

funny that there were people bitchin when we signed that guy

[Archie F. Swin]

i've always called him that i think it's funny as hell

best name in Baseball

[alnorth]

The old saying says that good pitching beats good hitting, but who wins between bad pitching and bad hitting?

Well, looks like we have one data point in favor of bad hitting.

[petegz28]

funny that there were people bitchin when we signed that guy

I know...though I was one who thought it was a good singning.

[SAUTO]

I know...though I was one who thought it was a good singning.

me too, the youngs needed a guy to show them the ropes:D J/K about the last part

[Archie F. Swin]

Nice to see Coco keep being a stud. I like him a lot.

[Archie F. Swin]

I am...it's terrible.
I've always like their broadcast team. Of course, I've never seen a royals broadcast

[Archie F. Swin]

[Archie F. Swin]

TBags...swinging for da fences

[Mr. Krab]

Teahen with another hit. :clap:

[Archie F. Swin]

Beer time

[Archie F. Swin]

what fine beverage is everyone enjoying tonight?

[Reaper16]

what fine beverage is everyone enjoying tonight?
Great Divide Oak-Aged Yeti (imperial stout). Hell yes.

[SAUTO]

what fine beverage is everyone enjoying tonight?

patron silver for me:D

[Big_Papa_029]

Meche is a beast...

4 runs is like a route when he's throwing as well as he is.

[alnorth]

Man, our pitching is really starting to look rediculous

[Mr. Krab]

Callaspo with the bungle. :(

[Mr. Krab]

A bunt fucking single!!! :cuss:

[Mr. Krab]

Holy shit, a double steal.

[Big_Papa_029]

that's going to bite us in the ass... Damn

[petegz28]

WTF did you throw to 2nd for Buck you dumbass!!!!!

[SPATCH]

Man, our pitching is really starting to look rediculous

goddamn it... quit trying to jinx shit

[Mr. Krab]

Well don't have the talent to play like a bunch of dumbasses. Clean it up, boys.

[petegz28]

That was just fucking stupid. Buck can't shoot anyone as it is and he trys to make the hardest throw? What a maroon.

[alnorth]

goddamn it... quit trying to jinx shit

what jinx? Meche has got this!

[Mr. Krab]

Meche gets out of the inning with no damage. Nice!!

[Big_Papa_029]

filthy... absolutely filthy

[AndChiefs]

filthy strikeout

[Mr. Krab]

what jinx? Meche has got this!

Great, kid. Don't get cocky.

[alnorth]

I think Meche read about how we wont keep getting over 1 strikeout/inning and took it personally.

[alnorth]

[SPATCH]

what jinx? Meche has got this!

eeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssy

[petegz28]

I know Fever said they let Coco swing away there cause Avilles isn't hitting well. But that is exactly why you sacrifice cause Avilles is a candidate to hit into the DP.

[Mr. Krab]

Avilles was swinging that the pitch now matter what.

[Mecca]

Aviles is the suck.

[petegz28]

Well, I fucking hate being right but I just said, that is exactly why they should have had Coco bunt. Stupid call by Hillman.

[Reaper16]

Aviles seems to be showing the regression that everyone feared.

[Mr. Krab]

You really can't have your only clutch hitter bunt.

[Reaper16]

Coco kinda looks hurt.

[petegz28]

You really can't have your only clutch hitter bunt.

In that situation you do. It would be 2nd and 3rd 1 out when Avilles hit that assuming Coco didn't get on, and possibly a run scored.

[Archie F. Swin]

down the easy way

[Mecca]

Why is Willie Bloomquist playing in the outfield, that's an abortion...don't they have anyone else?

[Archie F. Swin]

Whatever happened to brandon Boggs for the Rangers?

[petegz28]

Fever needs to pay attention..that is his 2nd walk.

[petegz28]

Why is Willie Bloomquist playing in the outfield, that's an abortion...don't they have anyone else?

Mitch Meier, who has a fucking gun of an arm.

[Mecca]

Mitch Meier, who has a fucking gun of an arm.

He obviously won't play, Trey Hillman loves to start utility backups, he loved Ross Gload.

[alnorth]

Top 5th

DeJesus grounds out to shortstop
Butler walks
Teahen grounds out to pitcher, Butler to second
Jacobs strikes out (swinging)

0 runs, 0 hits

Bottom 5th

Andrus grounds out to second
Kinsler flies out to center

0 runs, 0 hits

[petegz28]

He obviously won't play, Trey Hillman loves to start utility backups, he loved Ross Gload.

I liked Gload too...just not for his bat. But he was a hell of a 1st basemen.

[alnorth]

AL Central update: White Sox were leading 5-2, Tampa Bay just crushed a pinch-hit grand slam to take the lead.

[WilliamTheIrish]

Bless those devil rays...

[alnorth]

Angels just scored 3 to take the 3-2 lead over the Twins

[Archie F. Swin]

Saltalamacchia is the longest name on a jersey in MLB history

[WilliamTheIrish]

No need to bless the Angels.... they're ... Angels.

[Archie F. Swin]

Angels just scored 3 to take the 3-2 lead over the Twins

vladmir pulled a muscle in his chest

[DeezNutz]

I liked Gload too...just not for his bat. But he was a hell of a 1st basemen.

Imagine how great he would have looked if he were actually an above-average first baseman...

[Archie F. Swin]

alright, lets Buck this up!

[alnorth]

Top 6th

Buck walks
Callaspo singles to center, Buck to second

Willie Eyre relieves Harrison

Bloomquist sacrifices (bunt) to pitcher, Callaspo to second, Buck to third
Crisp intentionally walked

2 runs, 2 hits

Bottom 6th

Young singles to left
Hamilton reaches on a 4-6 fielder's choice, Young out at second
Blalock flies out to left
Byrd lines out to second

0 runs, 1 hit

[petegz28]

Imagine how great he would have looked if he were actually an above-average first baseman...

I thought you couldn't ask any more from someone at 1st base. Tell me why you don't think his defense at 1st base was nothing more than above-average?

[WilliamTheIrish]

leadoff BB by Buck.

[petegz28]

Ok...now put a fucking bunt down, damn it!

[petegz28]

It isn't like Bloomquist is going to do anything better than a single.....so put down the fucking bunt!

[petegz28]

I want a bunt down the 1st base side..

[DeezNutz]

I thought you couldn't ask any more from someone at 1st base. Tell me why you don't think his defense at 1st base was nothing more than above-average?

I'm just thinking of him in comparison to elite defensive players at the position, like a Tex.

He looked amazing compared to the rest of the shit that we regularly throw out there; there's no question about that.

He could dig the ball really well, but his lateral range and quickness was pretty average. Compared to Butterball and Jacobs, though, Gload is a defensive HOFer.

[petegz28]

something wrong with that strike Willie? Even Frank White saud that was the best one to bunt.

[KChiefs1]

Man, our pitching is really starting to look rediculous

I like our chances in any 3 game series when we are starting Meche, Greinke & Davies.

[petegz28]

Ok, good fucking job!

[GoHuge]

Fresh AAA meat! Lay down the bunt Willie......nice job.

[petegz28]

Cereal getting the intentional..

BOOOOOOOOOOO

[Archie F. Swin]

loading....

[DeezNutz]

I normally hate that decision. But I also hate having someone with Bloomquist's bat in the lineup.

Smart for TX not to pitch to Crisp.

[Mecca]

And now they walk him to pitch to Aviles because he's busy sucking balls.

[GoHuge]

End you sophmore slump Mike right here. Bases jacked!

[petegz28]

Ok fuck it.....Avilles puts down another bunt and we get a run. Beats hitting into the DP...again

[Mecca]

I normally hate that decision. But I also hate having someone with Bloomquist's bat in the lineup.

Smart for TX not to pitch to Crisp.

Willie Bloomquist should never be in your starting lineup more than once a week...

[Archie F. Swin]

Aviles stance borders on retarded

[DeezNutz]

If Aviles starts consistently sucking ass this year, we're in some trouble.

Let's not think about that...

[petegz28]

I normally hate that decision. But I also hate having someone with Bloomquist's bat in the lineup.

Smart for TX not to pitch to Crisp.

That was classic small ball....good deicision. Had we had Crisp bunt the last time he was ump we would have scored another run.

[Mecca]

Oh my god he actually got a hit.

[DeezNutz]

Fucks yes.

[Archie F. Swin]

solid hit

[petegz28]

All right Mikey...good poke.

[WoodDraw]

Was that Damon in LF? Hahaha

[DeezNutz]

That was classic small ball....good deicision. Had we had Crisp bunt the last time he was ump we would have scored another run.

Two on, no outs in the AL in 2009, I'm playing for the big inning.

When the batter's name is Bloomquist, I'm fucking pissed.

[GoHuge]

Mikey!!

A V I L E S!! F**K YEAH!!

[petegz28]

Was that Damon in LF? Hahaha

One must wonder with that weak ass throw.

[CHENZ A!]

who the hell is playing LF for them right now? Dude just rolled the ball into the infield! LMAO

[alnorth]

Ok **** it.....Avilles puts down another bunt and we get a run. Beats hitting into the DP...again

good call

[petegz28]

Two on, no outs in the AL in 2009, I'm playing for the big inning.

When the batter's name is Bloomquist, I'm ****ing pissed.

Well, I guess we differ there. Not on Bloomquist..just the bunt call. And we got 2 runs out of it.

[DeezNutz]

I'm pretty sure it was b/c he had no shot at AC, so he just half-assed it.

[Archie F. Swin]

the natives are getting restless

[petegz28]

good call

I can't be right EVERY time.....:D

[GoHuge]

Time for backwoods Billy to get it going right now. Bases loaded.

[DeezNutz]

Well, I guess we differ there. Not on Bloomquist..just the bunt call.

You like '84 flashbacks? Arlington isn't the place for that...

[Archie F. Swin]

Mike Young is pretty fuckin sweet

[petegz28]

Stupid all the way around....Butler swings at 1st pitch and Avilles running right into the tag.....stupid! Stand there if you are going to get tagged....what a TARD!

[CHENZ A!]

I'm pretty sure it was b/c he had no shot at AC, so he just half-assed it.

well maybe, but he was fairly shallow in left, and could have just long tossed it to the cutoff guy. and it looked funny.

[GoHuge]

WTF?

[alnorth]

Stupid all the way around....Butler swings at 1st pitch and Avilles running right into the tag.....stupid! Stand there if you are going to get tagged....what a TARD!

well, to be fair, you usually run on contact when the bases are loaded.

[petegz28]

WTF?

Stupid base running...that's WTF

[Reaper16]

Mike Young is pretty fuckin sweet
Your feed is like two minutes faster than mine.

[DeezNutz]

Web Gem.

[kstater]

Holy shit

[petegz28]

well, to be fair, you usually run on solid contact when the bases are loaded. Not like it was a weak grounder

Ok but you have to be aware of the situation...the ball was hit in front of him...it isn't like he couldn't see.

[CHENZ A!]

WEB GEM

[Archie F. Swin]

Nice play cally!

[petegz28]

great play AC!

[Reaper16]

That throw from AC was stupefyingly sweet.

[DeezNutz]

He just said a dirty word...

[DeezNutz]

The continued (and unnecessary) roll gave it style points.

[VonneMarie]

That was a nice play by Calyspo.

[VonneMarie]

And another one by Calyspo!

[petegz28]

AC making up for the error.

[petegz28]

What is the pitch count on Meche?

[alnorth]

What is the pitch count on Meche?

only 82! He might go 8 innings

[petegz28]

Teahen looking real good going to the opposite field.

[Archie F. Swin]

bags!!

[DeezNutz]

Teahen to 3B and he starts swinging a hot bat.

Coincidence I'm sure, but there's something to be said about putting him at the position that he's most comfortable playing...

[petegz28]

Fuck Jacobs come on...those were 2 hittable pitches

[alnorth]

Teahen needs a triple for the cycle

[alnorth]

Top 7th

Teahen doubles to center
Jacobs doubles to right, Teahen scores
Buck doubles to left, Jacobs scores
Callaspo flies out to center

Josh Rupe relieves Eyre

Bloomquist doubles to right, Buck scores

Omar Vizquel bats for Young

Vizquel fouls out to third

0 runs, 3 hits

[Reaper16]

Teahen needs a triple for the cycle
That's the hardest one to get.

[petegz28]

Teahen to 3B and he starts swinging a hot bat.

Coincidence I'm sure, but there's something to be said about putting him at the position that he's most comfortable playing...

I won't be mad if he plays Gordon out of a position.

[Reaper16]

Nice work.

[petegz28]

FAIR BALL!!!!

[DeezNutz]

I won't be mad if he plays Gordon out of a position.

Gordon is just another player in my eyes at this point.

[kstater]

Damn nice hit. You can put Farnsworth in now.

[DeezNutz]

Damn nice hit. You can put Farnsworth in now.

Meche through 8.

Let Farnsworth work the 9th.

[petegz28]

Gordon is just another player in my eyes at this point.

Agreed. And not sure you could even call him average right now.

[keg in kc]

Wait, Jacobs got a double?

Seriously?

[kstater]

Teeing off on them now.

[petegz28]

Buck with the 3rd consecutive double.

[kstater]

Should be interesting. This weekend the irresistable force (Texas awesome hitting, crappy pitching) meets the unmovable object (KC weak hitting, awesome pitching).

The old saying says that good pitching beats good hitting, but who wins between bad pitching and bad hitting?

I'd say bad hitting beats bad pitching.

[DeezNutz]

Agreed. And not sure you could even call him average right now.

I'm not quite that down on him. I think he's a serviceable ML player, nothing more. Not sure if that fits the definition of "average" or not.

And I continue to say we should sign him to an extension now because he should be dirt cheap.

[petegz28]

I'm not quite that down on him. I think he's a serviceable ML player, nothing more. Not sure if that fits the definition of "average" or not.

And I continue to say we should sign him to an extension now because he should be dirt cheap.

I say average simply because of his bat. His defense is OK.

[DeezNutz]

"We've got to find a way to get <st><s>Douggie</s></st> <st><s>Gloady</s></st> Willie some at-bats."

ROFL

[petegz28]

Buck you pussy...tag up on that

[DeezNutz]

Time to get Maier an AB.

[CoMoChief]

Meche through 8.

Let Mahay work the 9th.

FYP

I wouldnt trust Farnsworth with a 10 run lead.

[Mr. Krab]

How can Buck not advance on that deep fly ball?

[petegz28]

Good I like this...working their bullpen over in the first game of the series.

[petegz28]

How can Buck not advance on that deep fly ball?

Thus my calling him a pussy.

[Reaper16]

ROFL
I'm not actually convinced that Trey Hillman and Buddy Bell are different people.

[alnorth]

They just pulled Eyre for a guy with a 15 ERA.

cool.

[Archie F. Swin]

Get N. Ryan on the horn...he lives somewhere in Texas

[DeezNutz]

You go halfway on that in case it gets over his head.

It would be far worse if that thing goes to the wall and he's not able to score.

Buck is still in scoring position. No real biggie, boys.

[ArrowheadMagic]

Keep fucking douting Bloomquist? er..... foul

[DeezNutz]

I'm not actually convinced that Trey Hillman and Buddy Bell are different people.

Nope. They both apparently had some incriminating photos out on facebook like our friends in the Loo.

[Archie F. Swin]

and the beat goes on!

[DeezNutz]

Someone archive that sumbitch so we can replay it in July.

[petegz28]

OMFG...Willie B with his double!!! Hope that wasn't the last one.

[CoMoChief]

This site is lightyears ahead of ESPN gamecast.

[ArrowheadMagic]

Bloomquist wakes up hitting doubles....... now what...?

[DeezNutz]

GoChiefs' dick just got wet via vagina for the first time...

[Reaper16]

They just pulled Eyre for a guy with a 15 ERA.

cool.
LMAO

[Archie F. Swin]

they need to save some of this O for Ponson

[kstater]

Meche through 8.

Let Farnsworth work the 9th.

I'll scream if Meche comes back out in a 9 run game.

[CoMoChief]

they need to save some of this O for Ponson

And Ramirez.

[DeezNutz]

I'll scream if Meche comes back out in a 9 run game.

Yeah, I thought alnorth said he only was at 82 pitches...

But he's been sitting forever now.

[Archie F. Swin]

Bloomquist....
I haven't seen a ball-busting build like that in a Royals uniform since....umm... Jim Eisenreich

[petegz28]

I know you don't want to run into the 3rd out of the inning but I would have sent him...

[ArrowheadMagic]

GoChiefs' dick just got wet via vagina for the first time...

Thats crazy talk. Its not like Bloomquist went yard with the bases full. Then we can talk about him having pussy since pussy had him.

[petegz28]

DDJ got robbed there but what a play by their pitcher.

[alnorth]

DDJ got robbed there but what a play by their pitcher.

when you keep hitting screaming liners, eventually one of them is going to accidentally hit a glove.

[kstater]

I know you don't want to run into the 3rd out of the inning but I would have sent him...

Exactly. If you don't mind having your next batter's head taken off.

[Archie F. Swin]

from MLB.com

MINNEAPOLIS -- An examination of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Vladimir Guerrero's chest by Dr. Lewis Yocum on Friday revealed a tear in the right pectoral.
