8/7 @ Royals

[jung]

Somebody remind of the Sox payroll again. I just can't seem to keep it in my head. Is it $10k and a ham sandwich?

[vegasbob]

Austin Davis is the other current black hole in the BP, but we see plenty of him, don't we ?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching this series it's obvious KC is way ahead of the SOX in rebuilding.

Well the game is over so who cares.

JH to Bloom: "I just caught the Sunday game after boinking the old lady and polishing the brass-work on the yacht. Should we have a meeting?

 

Bloom: NO!!

I only believe the part about the yacht, unless JH found a popsicle stick.

Pearls before swine:rolleyes:

Even the walkoff given up by Whitlock yesterday was to a rookie hitting .180. He was a MiLB terror but should not have been the guy to beat them. It is going 5to be a long set of dog days in August and September with this group.

 

This may be the only post this game I disagree with.: did you know that in 2011, playing for California, Nick Pratto lined a walk-off hit to beat Japan and win the Little League World Series? That's the entire world (that plays baseball), not just a title that pits the AL vs. the NL...

What took him 11 years to get from LL to MLB? Is he a slow learner, lol.

[jung]

Oh yea Youkalis lots of guys would have just pulled up at 1st on that shot by Hosmer. In what world Youk would a MLB hitter not try to get two bases out of that unless in a wheelchair.

KC actually waits to make sure a guy knows how to play baseball at the MLB level before promoting him. The Royals think it makes sense for ballplayers to learn the game in the minors.

[vegasbob]

Cut the lead to 9, no wait, now cut to 8. There's a chance

[jung]

Mercifully OVER

[vegasbob]

Getting really weary of the warning track power, or CF'ers who can catch our shots but not reciprocally

[d-money]

So the sox lose 3 out of 4 to the royals. Another series L. The only thing left in this season that would make it less tough is if the Yankees don’t reach the WS.

Frankly i still feel this team has underachive . They shouldn’t be this terrible.

That's entirely possible.

Excellent!

[moonslav59]

Duran is no natural OF'er . He shortarmed that flyball as he neared the wall

 

I'm done hoping against hope he learns how to field. Maybe move him back to 2B.

 

I doubt he's even tradeable, at this point.

Pretty sweet seeing the Yanks lose to the guy they traded, Montgomery, last night, and then today Montas, the guy that's replacing Montgomery, gives up 6 in 3 innings.

Yankees have been on a losing streak and I said in May they would not win a world series, Yankee fans get blinded by fast starts every year I have been putting up with it, today they are playing as bad as we are

You are just now figuring that out when you have constantly talked about trading him like they were goin to get something back for him.

believe me, there's not as much genius in that organization as advertised, the $324 million dollar man gave up 11 runs in his last two outings, they just out bid and over pay and he media really plays it up, 1 championship on 22 years

yes but mustard is included

[cukes]

if i was Bogey and Raffy I wouldn't want to sign with this non committal organization, they can get good contracts from contenders and a chance at winning, let Bloom load this roster with young prospects that need experience and Cora can get a good laugh that's warranted, feel sorry for the loyal fans who pay good money to see good ball games

The only 'commitment' Bogey, Raffy, and most other ballplayers want from their team is that their paychecks arrive in a timely fashion.

I still feel this team has underachieve this year. They have underperformed. Anyway it will be interesting to see what they do in the offseason. At this point i am rooting for top 8 pick in the draft.

They are exactly as bad as their record says they are.
