it seems to be more smoke and mirrors than great baseball but it's more fun watching these last 8 games than the shit show this team has been most of the year.

As a Royals fan you are welcome & does anyone have a Rally Cat t-shirt yet?

HEY YOU!!!

How did you sneaky little bastards win 8 in a row?
[Reply]

evidently just take the players to an expensive steakhouse and everyone agree that they need to play together as a team.
[Reply]

Well, it doesn't look like it will be 9 in a row. Down by four in the top of the 8th.

Had to end sometime, I guess.

Making a little noise now

Sucked, Yadi swung at ball 4. Oh well.
[Reply]

Watching the MLB network I heard Rosenthal, I think, tell a story about the locker room that Yadi saw a young player playing with a mobile game device in the locker room after the game. He told the player that he should put the game down and study for tomorrows game instead.

Sounds like something Chris Carpenter would have done back in the day.

No idea if true or not but Rosenthals stuff is usually solid info.

Yadi, you fucking bum.

Can we give Leake a participation trophy. Maybe give him some orange slices and a juice box after the game.
[Reply]

or call up Weaver? Can't be any worse.
[Reply]

He can buy his own juice boxes and oranges with the heap of money they gave him.
[Reply]

Never gonna happen with the amount of cash he got. Leake will be in the rotation unless they can convince some moron to trade for him.

I wish we could just give Leakes money to Lynn.

I am absolutely flabbergasted that Leake's xFIP is still only 3.94. The guy is complete and total ass.

Against bad hitters, he is a good pitcher because he has decent control and they can't turn on his stuff very well. Against great hitters he might be one of the worst pitchers in the league, because he can't execute pitches with enough velocity or movement to fool any of them, and they just tee off.

I'd put it this way: facing a team like the Padres he's probably a lot like Lance Lynn. Facing a team like the Red Sox, he's Mike Maroth.
