Re: KC Royals 2009: We're Gonna Compete, No Seriously.

Banny looked good. If he can be closer to his 2007 self than 08, then we have a solid #4 starter. An ERA around 4.5 or so would be adequate. As for today, more runners left on base in scoring position with less than 2 outs is so frustrating.

Greinke probably never sniffs 300 wins, but the comparison is not too far fetched imo.

And yeah, I jinxed meche 100%, no comment about tomorrow's game

just looked over greg maddux's stats (not a huge baseball guy) and I was wrong, he's in a league of his own. whatever though, Greinke is gonna be a top 5 pitcher till he leaves KC

lol i obv dont mean i expect greinke to be the best rh pitcher of this generation, it was blatant hyperbole. he's got a similar style and i expect him to be very successful. no need to nit it up.

I think we should make a deal going forward with teams that if they let us skip the 8th inning we'll give them one run.

Re: KC Royals 2009: We're Gonna Compete, No Seriously.

Since we're playing Detroit right now, I might have to go all GREEAR tonight and post after every other pitch.

Bottom of the 1st and thankfully they cleaned the lens of the center field camera. Nice start by Greinke. Let's get a hit here to take the lead and Zack can win this 1-0.

Zack just gets stronger as the game goes on. If it weren't for a bad break on a throw by Aviles, his scoreless streak would still be intact.

Holy cow how great is Grienke? I'm looking forward to the semester finishing up so I can start going to games all the time.
