Does Sweeney want to lose?
 

We have a heck of a rally going and Sweeney decides that he needs to put an end to it. We get it; you like to make a lot of money and not play well. :shake:

Bitter much? It's the '06 Royals. Did you expect a different conclusion to that? He'll be gone soon enough. Counting down the days to '08 when this team begins for real.

Just stop watching them, man. I did. Then the losing just...goes away.

Yes, I did. I think Shealy, Berroa, and DeJesus did as well.

What is happening in '08?

It's supposed to say "Does Sweeney want to loose", moran!

I'm not talking about the players, although losing this much, it would get difficult to think you're still in anything --save the Red Sox series.

I'm talking about from a fan's perspective. I know you've seen this team play enough this year to know that 9 times out of 10 they're not going to win a game like today. You shouldn't expect it to happen, and you sure shouldn't be upset when it doesn't happen. It's a bad team playing a good team in a close game. Nice looking rally, but Sweeney killed it. Nothing we havn't seen before. Nothing we won't see again.....in the next week.

Alex Gordon
Billy Butler
Chris Lubanski
Luke Huchevar

etc.

btw... a pitcher against a hitter, an out will happen most of the time.

Unfortunately 4 players arent going to make up for a mediocre/poor rest of the roster.

I'm guessing the roster between '06 and '08 won't be comparable at all. DeJesus, Teahan (maybe), Shealy, Buck....and who knows on the pitchers...will be the only carry overs, by my guess.

Your contribution is appreciated, though.

He only pitched two innings, but they say he did really well in his first start in Burlington the other day. Struck out two, gave up no hits, four fly outs. One guy got in on an error or something.

I'd like to make a trip down to Burlington, when this kid's pitching full games. On Monday he'll move up to about 50 pitches. (Pitched 32 earlier)

One out, sure. Two?

It's well known that Sweeney wants to lose. In fact, last week when he got that 2 out walk-off hit off Papelbon, he was trying to strike out but he couldn't even get that right. :banghead:

I will admit I pulled a 180 on the guy.....but why do people keep talking about a Teahan trade? Gordon???

Do you actually think we would trade Mark Teahan right now just to bring someone up from the minor's?


Teahen is one of the hottest players in baseball right now. WTF would you trade him? You BUILD around guys like that.
