I think you're overreacting. 1st place... near top in BA in the NL. They're fine.

The Houston Astros are also near the top in the NL in AVG. I'm not saying the offense is terrible, I'm saying they are inconsistent as hell

Thanks to a Casey McGehee walk and a Yuni B basehit, my misery is ended.

God that sucked.

Damn, thought he could do it.

I'm officially so angry I have a stomach ache.

7 perfect innings for Jaime.

lol finally got him.

I love watching Jaime pitch, best starter on our staff for sure and he has really stepped it up another notch with Waino being out, definitely looks to be our ace this year.

I think it's a function of wanting your team to always do the right thing. I get this way with the Flyers, but then I watch other hockey games and see teams do the same crap, but I don't yell at them! lol

Re: 5/2 - 5/8 Game Discussion Thread

Really its funny though, all night tonight neither of the Cards broadcasters said a word about perfect game or no hitter.

8th inning rolls around, they get Fielder out and Al Hrabosky says the words perfect game, next batter walks, then he says no hitter next batter gets a single.

Silly superstition but pretty funny that it all happened after he said the magic words.

Re: 5/2 - 5/8 Game Discussion Thread

Adam Lind continues his torrid hitting lately with a 2-5 day with a HR and 2 RBI. I liked how the Jays jumped all over the Tigers early on and hung on for the win.

Tomorrow's gonna be interesting from a broadcast point of view as Alan Ashby moves from the radio booth to do PBP on TV and Gregg Zaun goes to the radio.

Luckily Ricky Romero is supposed to start tomorrow so i'll be recording the TV feed

Royal fans (calling rspencer or chaos):

I've thoroughly enjoyed their broadcast team for the most part, very impartial...But who is the color guy, he is not very intelligent.

Early in the game when one of the Royals tried to bunt down the first base line with a runner on first and a lefty on the mound, he claimed he should be trying to bunt down the third base line.

And just now, down one with two outs he questioned why the tying runner wouldn't try and stretch a single to straightaway center into a double?

I think their color analyst is Frank White...at least he was the last few years.

Re: 5/2 - 5/8 Game Discussion Thread

Yeah it's Frank White. Usually he's pretty solid, I love hearing him talk about plays involving the middle infielders because obviously he has incredible knowledge on it (and I used to play 2B in HS). I guess he just had a bad night tonight?

It's too bad the Royals couldn't have pulled that off tonight, huge crowd for Hosmer's debut and O'Sullivan just had one bad inning.

Ha, it was just odd, I could tell he knows his stuff, those were just two comments that stuck out to me. I still liked your broadcasting team though...

(And no, it's not too bad they couldn't pull it out )

Both Ryan Lefebvre and Frank White make me want to stab my ears out. I can't stand listening to Royals' broadcasts, either on the radio or watching on TV. I've found, at least in my group of friends, that people either love them, or hate them. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground for whatever reason.


Anyways, I went to the game tonight and was happy to see Hosmer have a decent start. Would have liked to see him actually hit the ball, but I can't complain about the two walks and he didn't seem to have any issues at first.

I get a small sample size of away broadcasts so I dont listen for much more than objectivity which they did show.

As mentioned though, I wasn't impressed with White's knowledge of certain situations.

Here's to hoping I get the away broadcast tomorrow night!


Hope you had fun at the game, looked like the crowd was into his debut, he got screwed on his last strikeout...
