you is da man, alnorth!

We had an extra-inning game get suspended today, which doesnt happen very often. When a game is rained out it usually gets cancelled and rescheduled (before the game becomes official in the 5th) or someone wins if it is official. The Washington-Houston game was tied in the top of the 11th when it got washed out, which means they had to suspend it. That game will be played at the exact same score and situation (top of the 11th, tied 10-10) on July 9.

Davis could use a good start here. At some point, we'll need to figure out what to do with 3-5 in the rotation.

Pete: Shut up.

yeah, he hasn't looked to great since his first start (which was against the white sox, i believe).

hopefully the white sox will get him back on track.

If he would just not throw the ball in the dirt his pitches would have a much better chance of being strikes.

Just a thought.

BALK.

I don't mind Davis as much as some. Sure he's not the best, but I've heard way worse game calls. As far as the rotation, Davies and Bannister are confidence guys and can be solid in the middle to back end. Ponson though is another story.

And the rule book, but wtf does it matter?

Rules...meh!

Who's Davis? Storm? Mark? Or are we speaking of Kyle Davies?

All right. Let's go Royals!

1st inning
 

Top 1st

Getz grounds out to second
Fields strikes out (looking)
Quentin hit by pitch
Thome walks, Quentin to second
Dye strikes out (swinging)

0 runs, 0 hits

Bottom 1st

Crisp grounds out to third
DeJesus flies out to center
Teahen flies out to center

0 runs, 0 hits

What happened? Did he hit a batter?
