No sweep, gentleman. Need some timely hitting.

It would be nice if a couple of Royals players could hit a few balls in the air that would clear the fencing constructed in the outfield.

I've heard of other teams being able to accomplish something similar, and we might need to contact Seitzer to add this mythical ability.

Just win goddamn it.

The windy conditions today should be fun.

Alex in the three hole! Alex in the three hole!/Hootard

Didn't realize Hos had a bad quadriceps.

If we start hitting home runs, then how will we resemble the Atlanta Braves?

So Santana pitching against a power lineup ought to be entertaining if nothing else. Just think of it as a home run derby and not a game.

....with 30 mph gusts headed out to left field....

Heading up that way here in a bit.

Hope the weather doesn't hit until much later.

What's a home run?

Unparalleled wit.

How long until we call up Will Myers?

He's calling us up, letting us know how great a club Tampa has. Hell, he's probably sent GMDM some champagne.
