***Official Royals @ Mets Gamethread 8/4***
 

In for a two game winning streak! Go Royals!

What happened to Salvy?

Salvy has a mild concussion from getting whacked in the head three times in the last couple games by foul balls. Hope he's back soon.

They're kissing John Buck's ass on the pregame show.

He was a POS when he played here. I'm soooooo glad we have Salvy now.

One night I went to Kauffman, it was John Buck T-Shirt night. They gave away his shirt, and he was hitting .125. That was one of the worst giveaways, almost as lame as "Tony Perez Jr Bobble Head Night."

But he hit a ton of home runs in April!

Mets have one of the most lackluster lineups I have ever seen.

I like the 1-3 today. Was hoping that Maxwell might play, too.

You must have missed the Royals line-up Friday.

I've got the mesh Buck jersey giveaway. I x-acto knifed the B to spell ****.

Or I could have just looked in the repository thread, I suppose.

I will always hate Buck and Teahan, because of the Beltran thing.

You can see Buck's lifetime stats here:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...buckjo01.shtml

In six years with the Royals, he hit .235 and struck out 500 times. Jesus....

Perez's DL trip would never have happened in the Royals glory days. Never. Mild concussion and out for a week? OK.

Never understood the Mark Teahen love

Gramps still swinging a solid stick.

Mlb is trying to avoid producing more Rex Hudlers

It took 100 games for Yost to figure out Tejada needs to be on the field.

You see his second half in '06? Easily one of the best hitters in baseball during this stretch. So his supporters were always chasing this smoke, which never again materialized.

And Tejada needs to continue to bat second.

Royals free swinging.

Knock this guy down...

I miss my Grandma. Your post reminded me of her.

We are gonna miss Salvy

Santana is gonna get paid by somebody.

lol oopsies

Thanks Mets

JFC send Moustakas to Omaha already. He's so freaking bad.

Look into a new career Moose.

Escobar and Moustakis Roofing. For all your Roofing solutions.

:hmmm:

they don't know to hit the top of anything.

IDK. Got one better?

First team to score wins.

Moosescobar roto rooter. Unclogging your clogged shit.

I don't think they could hit shit if they fell out of a boat in a sewer

Santana is going to get 17+ mil a year.

Um....did you see the other lineup?

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE

I got the game turned on at just the right time. Way to go Moose!

Hey, those HR things are interesting!

More of those, please.

That's game!

moooosey

ESCOMOOSE - RAKE SERVICE!

Rally killer

How is the Moose hate still flowing around here after his last two months? I don't get it.

No idea

i'm surprised we didn't get some real offers for him.

Well, his three months before the last two months has a LOT to do with it. His April-May-June is a lot of the reason we're not competing with the Tigers.

Hudler played when there were no batting helmets, right?

The big teams -Dodgers, Yanks, Red Sox - know they can just outright buy him in the off season. Somebody will pay stupid money for him.

1 hit in the series. Are you serious?

Now that was a nice defensive play by Moose. Good pickup.

Good snag.

Nice play Moose.

mooooosey

but don't they get the inside track if he is already on their team?

Filthy

No chance.

Our owner is Mr. Wal Mart. He doesn't even give his employees health insurance. He's not going to spend $17-$20 Million a year on a pitcher.

Billy would have been forced out at 1st on that play.

Oh come on man, how is that not E9???

We probably don't know what was offered, if anything. My guess is the Royals told teams, a starting second baseman, a starting right fielder and a top prospect AAA pitcher. Pure guess.

is moving a guy from 2nd to 3rd when you have no outs worth a bunt?

Lough hurt

i guess it is.

LMAO

Hell yes! The metrosexuals ain't about to catch us now.

Injuries. Team gets hot, now injuries. Screw our luck.

I wonder what Lough did to himself? Hamstring? Didn't see anything unusual, maybe a groin?

Wow

LMAO

The sun is a Royals fan

Marlon Bryd is our best player.

Alex needs to eat some Wheaties or something

Jesus man, that Byrd guy sucks!

All of a sudden the injuries are pilling up.

And all of a sudden, Maxwell looks like a fantastic pickup.

Never seen this happen to three balls in a game.

How do you charge him with an error on that??? ****ing seriously.

Looks like playing RF is the least desirable position to play in. Hard to catch the damn thing when it's smack-dab right in the sun's view.

LMAO

Can't blame the sun on that one.
