Royals KC vs Detroit 7/10: End of the First Half - Page 9

**gblowfish** · 07-10-2011, 12:09 PM

We're on pace to lose 95 games this year, and today for the first half finale we get Justin Verlander.

Are you optimistic?

**gblowfish** · 07-10-2011, 03:28 PM

I just went to the KC Royals website to check the Royals chat board. Their game thread today had four posts.

Four.

That kind of apathy on the Royals own fan site says it all.

Progress.

Shut up, it's progress. Yep. Progress. We're losing by less.

Way to protect that draft pick!
Here's to the 2013 Royals!

Ah yes, good ole` 2013, the year we might actually come CLOSE to .500? Nah, just ****ing with you dudes.

That was a True Blue Royal's Tradition way to end a game. If it was Yost that called for it that it is something that could be listed under "fireable offense" on most MLB teams. If it was all Hosmer you send an exremely strong message in some way of how ****ing stupid that was.......in almost any part of the game, but especially bottom 9th, 1 out, and a left handed batter at the plate. Or you can just say it's the Royals and it won't take as many words. Just ****ing stupid!!

**** this.... I'm watching Pirates games for the rest of the year.

Al Bundy · 07-10-2011, 04:32 PM

lol at the piece of shit Jeff Francis well on his sorry ass way to losing 20 games. Talk about an embarrassment of a signing.

**gblowfish** · 07-10-2011, 04:36 PM

Francis pitched OK, but he is 3-10. He reminds me of Darrell May, another milktoast pitcher the Royals brought in as a reclamation project.

An 86 mph fastball isn't going to get you far in the AL Central, that's for sure.

Sure-Oz · 07-10-2011, 04:40 PM

So glad we ditched Phil Humber to make sure Francis or a scrub like Davies is here. Humber i wish we gave a shot atleast to start, not like his #'s were horrible here

I didn't watch the game but the Tigers scored 2 runs. Francis must have been terrible.

Sure-Oz · 07-10-2011, 04:46 PM

Francis pitched as well as he has at any start this season. Certainly not his fault today

**Bowser** · 07-10-2011, 04:49 PM

37-54. I called 106 losses before the season started, and it looks like they're trying their hardest to get there.

Saw just bits and pieces of the game, but how the hell is Escobar ruled to have not been hit, and Hosmer was safe at third (even if it was a dumbass call to steal it). Shit officiating today.

This team makes me long for the Buddy Bell era....

We have only 2 key future kids up right now. 3, if you count Duffy.

Their 2nd half record would have to be 19-52 to eclipse that. Lets hope it doesnt get that bad from here on out.

That's why I came back here to talk baseball. A football board is the best place I've found for that. I was on there as KCblue20 and most of the time there was nothing happening.
