Seriously? Wow, I'm not used to anyone being worried about the Royals!
people who pay attention know the Royals aren't pushovers anymore.

Tigers are going to destroy The Mariners.

I think it has more to do with the fact smart Phillies fans are becoming self-aware about how shit their team is rapidly becoming thanks to their GM.

I wanted to mock you a few months ago for saying the Royals would win 85-90 games, but if you actually look at their roster, it doesn't seem crazy -- their pitching is undeniably better than last year, and all those young players are almost sure to improve. Before the Jays won 2 out of 3 in Kansas City, I was actually a little worried about those games, and felt kind of sad that the Royals could no longer be considered an easy few wins.

I honestly don't know how we'll react as a fanbase if/when they actually start winning consistently. It'll be like stripping us of our identity!
He's pretty good. He makes the pitcher throw a lot of pitches when he's AB.
btw, Rasmus and JP are now tied for 3rd most SO in the league. Looks like Kelly leave a legacy to these guys.

The problem with the Royals last year was their ass pitching. Even though they are going to pay for that trade in a few seasons, Shields and Davis will help. Santana has pitched well too.

God I hope it is the Phillies that get to knock the Braves out in the 1 game playoff this year.
Dude, why would you say that? I thought we were bros, YH! I thought we were bros!

Didi Gregarious has been called up! Lets see what he's got Kevin Towers.

That requires the Phils to win enough games to do so. Not happening.

Sorry, Chad Durbin doesn't get to make the playoffs two years in a row.

He will be cut as soon as Charlie gets fired, so like 3 more weeks.

Lawrie is going to tear an oblique while yelling at a ball boy.
Interesting. Andy Oliver for the Tigers started off in AA but has never made it above AAA. Why dont Pirates give him a spot start? He has 57 career starts in AAA. Im curious actually why Irwin got the spot start for Wandy when Irwin had like 27 innings total in AAA, unless Andy Oliver recently started and didnt have enough rest.

Didn't realize Sanchez's K rate has dropped so much since he left the Giants.Another start for Johnathan Sanchez tonight
feels bad man
Anyway, Westbrook pitches like crap against you guys historically and our bullpen is a mess. Very winnable game for either side.
If we win its going to be a like 11-10 game. Sanchez is true garbo.
On positive note Marte is batting .370 and is 2 hits behind the MLB leader. If only Cutch can wake the fuck up and start batting above .300
Another start for Johnathan Sanchez tonight
feels bad man
edit; how funny and sad. we sent down bryan morris and brought someone else up because morris had to cover jmac ass and pirates know sanchez very likely will be out before the 5th. *sigh*
Our pitching and hitting are never in sync Lol
We either have dominate pitching and non-existent offense, or vice versa :| At least our bullpen is legit so far. Our rotation should be a bit better once Liriano and Karsten are out of rehab, and Wandy is back in the rotation. The back end of our rotation right now have no business being out of AAA.
Liriano just had a good rehab start, 3 innings 6k no er. also i very much doubt either liriano or karstens will push wandy to the back end. the positive that will occur will be locke can get work done in AAA and sanchez can be send to the bullpen, AAA, DFA anything is better than watching him struggle with starts

Chris Capuano? Might as well just cancel the game and give the Padres the win.
Nice, if small, gesture
Dude was absolutely raking in ST and in AAA. Sucks to lose Hill though.
Kevin Towers is a genius.

If it makes you feel better my baseball-reference research indicates he tends to start sucking after the All-Star break. Pretty good before that.

Look at all these guys wearing Butch Huskey's old uniform number.
The second Wildcard spot is wide open. The Phillies still had hope last season even though they were brutal through the first half of the season.
I sometimes what would have happened if the Phillies didn't beat the shit out of the Braves with half of our regulars in 2010. If the Cardinals were kept out of the playoffs, how far we would have went.
Playing the game the right way and embarrassing the Braves and Kimbrel in September wasn't worth having to face the eventual WS Champion in the first round.

... wtf you never sent me a fricking invite. Your never confirmed which roster we'd use. You never told us which sliders you were using. I took the hint and decided to catch the next one.
As I recall, you did say you wanted less people.

Worst version of the Turtles ever.
Then message in the thread...
I literally left my PS3 on for three days straight to relay requests. It's not like the console is used for anything else.

Just dawned on me how the Marlins is the only NL East fanbase

They will always be #1. The FOX version of the turtles was surprisingly ok, but nothing trumps original turtles.
