Gat Damn. That K/9 is ****ing impressive.

I just went back a re-read what I missed in the game thread...I was blacked out of MLB.TV so I had to watch local...meaning I had to listen to Hawk and Steve Stone (not that I'm complaining, Steve Stone is as fair and knowledgeable as they come)...apparently I missed some awesome stuff on FSKC...anyone want to fill me in? I was lost as hell when I re-read the last few pages.

He frapping blew Thome away on that AB.

I called it, too...right to my brother...said here comes a fastball right down the middle...

Thome could have guessed right and he's still not hitting that pitch.

It's awesome...Greinke is one of few that, if he's on, he's impossible to hit. Tonight...he was impossible.

I realize we've had some great dominant pitching over the years. But how many guys really went undefeated over 6 starts, with only 2 ER allowed over that span.

Quote from a White Sox fan before the game started

Oh damn it, not Greinke!! Anybody but him! No! Damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it damn it!

500 posts on a Royals thread. Gotta love it.

What are the details of Greinke's contract? We should compare him to Sabathia to get the bang for the buck comparison!

[Pioli Zombie]

What should get Royals fans more excited is that they won 2 road games in a row without Greinke. That tells me they can contend.
In 1999 Pedro Martinez went 23-4. Saberhagen won 10. Nobody else won 10. The Red Sox went 94-68. That's what a guy like Greinke can do. If Meche can win 13-15 and Davies gives them 10-12 they can make the playoffs.

Honestly, I don't know where I'd be without you telling me these things. We won two games w/o ZG?

Who knew?

If Banny keeps it up...

How sick would a...

Greinke/Meche/Davis/Hochevar/Bannister

rotation be?

We're talking for the future, too.

Exactly. If Bannister or Hochever pull it together you are talking about 2006 Tigers or 2008 Rays.
