The Royals are very fortunate to be in this position right now.

why's that? i'm following on gameday

The two hits were very soft.

 

And I would be OK with this pitching change if Rivera was coming out of the pen, but not Robertson.

[yankees228]

Girardi over-managing. Classic.

gotcha. is anyone warming up behind robertson?

[yankees228]

Not sure.

[Yaz Sideburn]

things are interesting now, only a 1 run game and the royals have one of their decent hitters up

[yankees228]

And another lucky hit. You can't make this stuff up.

[Yaz Sideburn]

jason kendall's up now. game over

[yankees228]

Great pitch.

[Yaz Sideburn]

yankees win. it wasn't pretty but it may have been good for them to get robertson in that kind of a high pressure situation to get him mentally ready for a playoff atmosphere

[Palodios]

Well, its tough that Kansas City put up such a good fight and couldnt do it in the end.

[Yaz Sideburn]

what do you guys think, is this the nail in the coffin for the royals?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

With a record of 47-68 and 17.5 gb then yes. That's resonable to say but 4 games? I still can't get over that. That's real funny.

[jacksonianmarch]

It's 5 games in the L column with a team that loses its best player

[Yaz Sideburn]

i can't help but picture jm in a hitler costume screaming "the allies will not win this war! we are superior!" every time he refuses to acknowledge that a team that's only 4 games out of a playoff spot is not out of contention

[yankees228]

It surprises me how much these hitters trust Kevin Long. For an established player like Berkman to come here, and then move closer to the plate because Long apparently wanted him to is interesting.

[yankees228]

It's amazing how many singles the Royals hit.

 

EDIT: In terms of allowing stolen bases, the Yankees are like the Red Sox were earlier in the year, just without the same amount of publicity.

[yankees228]

And the Moseley luck is running out. Pettitte had a setback today.

 

But the rotation is in great shape!

 

EDIT: They have to do something about these stolen bases.

What happened to Pettitte... did the needle break off in his ass?

[yankees228]

Haha, I wish he'd go back to that stuff. They need him back.

[Divinity]

Yeah Ortiz gave him a bad batch.

[yankees228]

They've really smoked the ball this inning. I'm really liking Lance's new stance.

[a700hitter]

Yeah Ortiz gave him a bad batch.

At least he is not a rat and a religious hypocrite too!

[yankees228]

Such a dumb play there.

Yeah, I heard Verducci say he likes the Yanks' staff over the Rays' staff in the postseason if Pettite comes back.

 

What is he smoking?

I'm not saying I agree with him, but the Rays have a lot of problems of their own.

 

Nice play by Tex there.

Price, Garza, and Niemann (assuming he comes back) blow Sabathia, Burnett, and Pettitte out of the water. And Hellickson (if he sticks around) is damn good, better than Hughes IMO.

[yankees228]

Price' date=' Garza, and Niemann (assuming he comes back) blow Sabathia, Burnett, and Pettitte out of the water. And Hellickson (if he sticks around) is damn good, better than Hughes IMO.[/quote']

 

Lots of question marks though. We have no idea what's going to happen with Neimann and Pettitte. Price is approaching uncharted innings territory, and going forward I'd take CC over him. And while I'd obviously rather have Garza over Burnett, Garza hasn't exactly been great this year with an ERA of almost four. I'd probably prefer the Rays' rotation, but I don't think there's that big of a disparity.
