SWEET!!!! They repay our **** up with their **** up!

lol at Cleveland.

Who ever does the stats and score for FSN must smoke some good shit..lol

This has been a game of **** ups all the way around....

Cleveland can't turn the DP...
DDJ plays shallow..
Coco misses the cutoff man...
Cleveland has 2 wild pitches in one inning....

all lead to runs scored

Carmona at 84 pitches through 4. Should get a good look at the Indians pen tonight.

Goal #1 for Meche...get through the 5th without giving up the lead...or any runs for that matter

Cleveland, shockingly, plays exactly how their record suggests they would.

They haven't "been unlucky."

Some douche on ESPN picked them to be in the World Series...

And Meche continues to serve up BP right after we score.....

Meche is getting too many pitches up here in the last 2 innings

Yep...I really would have liked to see Hillman use the off day in the schedule to swap Meche and Greinke. Greinke would be pitching on his normal 4 days rest, would take over as ace (he's earned it, more so even than moving Butler to 3) and Meche would get an extra day off.

5th inning
 

Top 5th

DeRosa singles to left
Francisco flies out to center
Carroll grounds out to shortstop, DeRosa to second
Cabrera grounds out to pitcher

0 runs, 1 hit

Bottom 5th

Butler grounds out to second
Jacobs grounds out to second
Guillen strikes out (looking)

0 runs, 0 hits

Not sure what Meche's gig is this year? He does good then all the sudden he gives up the big innings. Maybe he has been in KC too long and has let the Chiefs run off on him?

See, something is going on if they already have Ponson warming up...I don't know what the pitch count is on Meche but it can't be warranting a 5 inning game

Well, that WAS the knock on him up here in Seattle.

He's at 67 pitches, which aint badd for five full innings. Not great, but not bad. He SHOULD make the seventh easy, but he is struggling this year.

He's only up to 67. You'd think he ought to be good for 7+

Have they announced attendance for tonight?

C'mon...no one pitch outs right now. Carmona is on the ropes.

It is a final in Detroit. Tigers beat the Rangers again.

Time for Guillen to turn on one and yank that bitch over the left field wall

Well, I sure would like to have worked Carmona a little more that inning.

I think we'll see carmona come out for the 6th. And really, that's not necessarily bad for KC.

6th inning
 

Top 6th

Sizemore flies out to right
Martinez grounds out to shortstop
Choo walks
Peralta flies out to center

0 runs, 0 hits

Bottom 6th

Teahen grounds out to second
DeJesus walks
Buck sacrifices (bunt) to shortstop, DeJesus to second
Aviles flies out to right

0 runs, 0 hits

the Texas Rangers picked a wonderful time to bring their winning streak to a screeching halt

I wouldn't give martinez ANYthing good.

So, is Meche worth 55 mil tonight?

what?

If he pitches through the seventh without giving up another run I say yes.

If he can hold cleveland to 2 runs for another couple of innings then he is getting the job done. None of these players are actually worth the money they get.

for one game? no, but is he worth $350,000?

Yes, as he's been for every day he's been with the Royals.

seems like Meche only has one pitch he can command tonight...He's throwing LOTSA fastballs.

See, that is what I don't like. You walk a guy with 2 outs and a 2 run lead. Just amazes me everytime a pitcher deals a walk with a lead.

Meche should go another inning probably.

I don't think he meant to. :spock:

Gotta love mike jacobs always hangin over the railing and really into the game...

Ok......get Wright and Cruz warming up.....I don't want Ponson near the mound.

I am sure he didn't mean too. But that isn't the point.

Yea, he has like 90 pitches. You gotta have a quick hook on meche though because when he goes, he goes fast.

yeah, what was he thinking? What could have possibly made him think giving an IBB would be better than trying to get the 3rd out? Not like he's facing Barry Bonds or anything.

Jacobs is Jim Thome version 1.5.

He can't field and he still can't hit quite that good.

That being said, attitude wise the guy is a great guy to have on your team.

Meche threw 20 pitches that inning and 16 of them were the fastball. That makes me nervous.

Looks like gil is done

GOD DAMN IT QUIT SWINGING AT THE FIRST PITCH!!!

LMAO

Sure it is, he tried and missed and ended up walking someone. A MLB pitcher really can't just toss one down the middle and hope.

It doesn't hurt that he'll probably hit 30 hrs, we desperatly need that power.

Damnit Teahen

Sure he can.....make ****ers swing the god darn bat.

Nothing pisses me off more than a free pass to 1st base.

When is soria eligible to come back?

Yes, that was stupid of him. You have a 2 run lead and the opposing pitcher almost out of the game. Make him ****ing pitch.

I think in the next 5 days or so. I keep hearing he will rehab so when we see him go to Omaha we will know. He shouldn't be there but 1 or 2 games I would think.

Have Buck bunt for the 2nd out with Aviles coming up? :spock:

Sac Bunt with one out?

B-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a

Some please teach Avilles how to hit a linedrive.....PLEASE!

The bat flip isn't working bob hamelin sophomore slump

More of that barnyard strategy.

When he gets back it will be nice. We will really only need Banny and Hoch to go like 5-6 innings because of our BP depth. Davies and Meche will have to go 6-7 still and Greinke will have to go 7-8 prolly.

7th inning
 

Top 7th

Jamey Wright relieves Meche

Garko grounds out to shortstop
DeRosa singles to right
Francisco singles to left, DeRosa to second
Carroll hit by pitch, Francisco to second, DeRosa to third
Cabrera walks, Carroll to second, Francisco to third, DeRosa scores

Sidney Ponson relieves Wright

Sizemore reaches on a 4-6 fielder's choice, Cabrera out at second, Carroll to third, Francisco scores
Martinez flies out to left

2 runs, 2 hits

Bottom 7th

Aaron Laffey relieves Carmona

Crisp bunt grounds out to third
Callaspo grounds out to pitcher
Butler walks
Jacobs lines out to shortstop

0 runs, 0 hits

Barnyard baseball...that's our style I guess.

Only 87 pitches hmmm

why do you think the bunt was called from the dugout? It may have been a dumb move by Buck, but his plan seemed to be seeing the infield back, he tried to catch them by surprise. Even Sweeney used to lay down a surprise bunt now and then when they played him too deep.

See, something is wrong with Meche. Pulled after 87 pitches?

We should start mooing our team when they do something stupid..

May have been......And Sweeney would bunt for a hit...that was clearly a SAC bunt.

His back and he really wasn't pitching that well anyway. He was struggling through.

Stamina an issue for meche?

LMAO


That would be great but I am not sure George Brett could handle that without a stroke.....

no it wasnt, he was bunting for a hit.

Fever has to be the biggest jinx in baseball..

Wright throwing batting practice.

Well it was a terrible bunt then...

Did he square early?

c'mon 6-4-3

So I haven't been posting in this thread all game and I didn't see discussion. Can we get a real SS yet?

Looked like he did to mee but whatever....

No way that hit him

Oh **** me.......WTF Ump?

he ****ing fouled that shit

lame

FOUL
