Need you guys to pull this one out. My O's are trying to get back some games on Toronto.

Yeah, our slapdick offense going against Buehrle? Take the Jays on this one.

MAYBE MOUSTAKAS BACK IN THE LINEUP WILL INSPIRE THESE GUYS TO NEW HEIGHTS NEVER BEFORE DREAMT OF

They lost by a touchdown and a field goal didn't they?

Heh, odds of the first comment is greater than the 2nd one.


But what the hell, Be Royal!

FTR, I have only gotten to watch 15 games this year and surprisingly we are 10 - 5 on them. Game # 16 is lined up today so maybe we have little mojo with this ?

Maybe ?

For those who believe in that stuff, OK. I don't but in the words of Harry, Give em Hell!

I think it was a touchdown, 2 pt conversion and a safety.

It was ugly from the get go, opening kick off.

Wait til JGuts gives up a few gopher balls to this lineup

LMAO

In 34 ab's batted 355/.412/.548 naturally...

Hoping Valencia returns so his candy ass can go back down and get more ab's where he belongs

Buehrle has been tough on everybody this year, we have to slow him down on the mound. Not let him get in a rhythm, be patient at the plate and most of all, find a pitch you can hit, not his pitch that runs in right handed batters.

Going to be a tough challenge from an anemic offensive club like ours.

Let's do it!

Jays whack five or six homers of Guts, Burhle gives up two infield hits, plows through the Royals in about 45 minutes. Moose goes 0-4, striking out four times on 12 straight pitches.

I'm optimistic, can you tell?

Hell, we should just start that kid Brooks today. He only threw one inning yesterday. He's got as much of a shot against Burhle as Guts does.

I woke up and got my workout done at 8 so I could make the 10 am start for this one.

What a sucker I am for garbage.

The Royals need to give you front row club seats for a season, or something.
