If you don't believe us, ask us

Our thoughts in real time from last night (today's game is getting ready to start, so maybe we'll continue our thoughts in real real time):

Why is Grudz batting fifth? He has 11 RBIs.

Way to go Buck!

Jason Whitlock is rich. Poz has got to be shitting his pants.

Banny fought it like a man.

The difference between Joey Gathright and a good MLB player like, say, Willie Wilson is that Joey never corks one down the line for a triple or, at worst, a double. It's infield singles or nothing with Joey. And midget singles (and the ability to jump over a car) don't cut it in The Show, no matter how many balls you run down in CF.

De-Jesus! Christ-almighty, that dude is hitting the ball! If De-Jesus was a closer instead of an outfielder, he'd be leading the league in saves.

Gordon! Holy Shit!

When is Nunez coming back?

Our arms look really toned, a lot like Michelle Obama's, only with lots of hair. We're thinking about going sleeveless more often.

Some of the worst teams in the AL could compete for playoff spots in the NL.

Gload's career is exploading (in a bad way).

The Royals, a bad team, have manhandled the NL for years now. It's not a small sample size. This year, we've already taken 2-out-of-3 from the Marlins, Diamondbacks and Cardinals. There's not much difference between losing 95 games in the AL and being the NL World Series representative. If you don't believe us, ask us.

S-O-R-I-A! Suck it!

UPDATE: The Royals just finished up the tidy sweep.

Well, that was easy. Beating up on the Pujoless Cardinals like that almost isn't fair.

Nice to see Tea-Hen-T bring the dynamite. Greinke must have been pretty much dealing. And then there's Soria.

This offense might be pretty good when Butler comes back with a chip on his shoulder.

Just imagine all of the at-bats we've wasted in the past 1.5 years with Larue and Pena. How many more runs do we score with Olivo and Aviles in their spots? Now imagine Butler getting all of Gload's at-bats and then some. Now imagine Gordon learning how to hit lefties a little and getting hot like he did the second half of last year. Then, if you really want to dream, think about what it would be like if Teahen gets as hot as he was a few years ago.

We just heard/read that Aviles was one of those college seniors the Royals drafted a few years ago to save money. After the fifth round or something like that, they only drafted college seniors and offered them $1,000 to sign, take it or leave it. And people wonder why the Royals have sucked so long. Thank God Glass has finally been shamed into spending money. And we hope they treat Aviles right now that he made it to The Show against all odds.

Have a good weekend. (We don't work on Fridays in the summer.)

I got to see the game last night. Scored some tickets off of Craigslist and took the kid. He is five so I missed a couple of innings. We were losing when I got back to my seat.

Holy crap! We came from behind. Gordon's shot was a beauty.

Between innings they had a bunch of kids beat of Slugger. Slugger shouldn't be such a good sport. He should kick Fredbird's feathered ass.

My kid is rooting for the Cards because his favorite color is red. I might have to move back to K.C.

That's just bad parenting.

Gordon can be as smug as he wants if he keeps hitting bombs like that.

I put him in time out and beat him severely with a Fred Bird doll.

I also did a little Clockwork-Orange-peel-back-the-eyelids coercion. I forced him to watch the '85 series. Either he will like the Royals or hate Denkinger (sp?).

During yesterday's Cardinals telecast they showed some video of Brett beating the tar out of Nettles after Nettles had given him a sly kick to the ribs. Ah, the good old days.
