Dyson dogs it down the line. Not good.

[lewdog]

Anyone who says Hud doesn't call out players is wrong. Not that I care much about Dyson not blasting down the line but I like Hud being honest.

Great catch

[Al Bundy]

So.. there wasn't much effort put into that inning by the Royals.

Credit!

So much disinterest going on

[Three7s]

The Royals offense really isn't doing bad tonight. They've had several good ABs. Just going against a really good pitcher.

[C3HIEF3S]

Kabooom!!

[Al Bundy]

I'm not saying this one is over.. but they didn't show much effort that last inning.

We don't give opposition credit here! It's always the Royals fault.. or the umpires.

[baitism]

Please tell me this is the last time Blanton has to start.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Legit HR.

Suck it

[eDave]

Boy oh boy.

Really hope McCullers doesn't blow his arm out
