This KC weather is some nasty stuff. I can't believe they're playing, but the Rays don't come back this year.

They're literally playing in low 30's sleet which is about to turn to snow.

RICKEY ROMERO STARTING FRIDAY FOR THE BLUE JAYS.

LOL!

Johnson on 15 day DL.

Romero - our lord and saviour - has returned.

The curse is over!

Since Spring Training Ricky has only thrown in one start at A level Dunedin.

Romero gonna represent East Los!!!!!!!!!


Also Dodgers wouldn't mind taking washed up Felix...lol

Damn, it looks absolutely miserable in KC right now. I feel for those guys.

Our best pitcher is back. King Felix won't stand a chance against him.

Yeah, all those poor millionaires. I weep.

 

[lazybones18]

Bring out the tarp already

Yeah, all those poor millionaires. I weep.

There's also all the people that have to work there. Ball boys, bat boys, grounds crew, etc.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Posey's a dick

Highlights on the MLB At Bat app.

Can only listen to the game at work. So, I always check the highlights on the ride home.

Same here. even in Vegas the dodger games get blackout on the app. But if I go to Palm Springs I can watch them. Weird

 

[Sanjuro]

Joba to da DL.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

They're just getting to the 5th at all costs. Interesting gameplay. Baserunning is pretty tough with everyone slipping around.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Okay, it's really getting insane now. Top of the 4th.

Ervin Santana just struck out Longo for his 7th of the game. This is like playing The Show with the sliders all screwy.

 

[sangreal]

Joba to da DL.

wtf, he hasn't even pitched in a few days has he? and of course Robertson limped off the field last night with a knee issue. They claim he is fine, but given the way Yankees are dropping I won't be surprised if he is hurt

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Evidently the handful of fans have just been given the okay to sit wherever they want, lol.

Prob best outing since his no hitter 2 years ago..

 

[3N16MA]

Everyone on the Yanks to the DL.

 

[captmcblack]

Joba to da DL.

wtf, this season is literally nothing but injuries.

 

[Link]

Now they call the rain delay. It was stupid to try to get the game in anyway.

 

[Askani]

No! The tarp! 6 outs away.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Ha. The Royals are up by one, it's the bottom of the 4th and NOW they pull out the tarp. Whatever. Six more outs and it's official. What a load of shit. Why play half the game in such insane conditions and then stop so close to the end?

 

[Askani]

Now they call the rain delay. It was stupid to try to get the game in anyway.

They had to try. The schedules only allowed for like 3 available dates for the rest of the year. All of them would have forced special permission because of the number of games that would make one or the other team play in a row.

Understandable, but that doesn't make allowing play in that kind of weather any less reckless. Between the rain and the cold, they were just asking for someone to get injured.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Yeah, they probably shouldn't have started at all, but it IS crap that they'd stop it now. We could have rested Santana. Instead, we risked everyone for nothing AND burned Santana. Just play the bottom of the 4th and top of the 5th and record the game. I'm sure it won't take long anyway.

Spoiler

to be fair, I'm sure I'd be singing a different tune if the Rays were leading

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Hey, there's a little dry patch on the radar about to float over the K, and they're pulling up the tarp! We should send in Holland (our closer) for the 5th.

EDIT: And evidently they sprinkled Diamond Dry and put the tarp back.

Bring the rain overhere to L.A.. It's gonna be in the 90's the next couple of days...We need some rain badly

 

[Askani]

Yeah, I'm about 15 minutes west from the stadium and it's sleeting here. Hope that clear patch comes soon and lasts just long enough.

 

[Dominican Power]

Yankees are visiting The Royals soon.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Yankees are visiting The Royals soon.

Hopefully Mo has a better trip than he did last fall.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Even after thirty years of losing baseball and never making the post season, this is what Royals fans are like.

 

[Link]

Holy shit, I'd cut Castillo as soon as the game was over for pulling that crap.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

And now it's snowing like a mf-er. This game is over

 

[Dominican Power]

I love me some Kristina Akra.

Outfielder Andrew Brown is due to join the Mets for their weekend series in Atlanta, a team source told ESPNNewYork.com.

Brown, 28, is hitting .367 with two homers and 27 RBIs in 98 at-bats with Triple-A Las Vegas.

...

The Mets have not announced the move, so it is not 100 percent clear who is impacted by Brown's expected promotion. It might be as simple as returning Juan Lagares to Triple-A Las Vegas -- using the same logic as when Kirk Nieuwenhuis was demoted to get regular at-bats. Collin Cowgill is hitting .157 (8-for-51) and has not started since last Thursday and, like Lagares, should have a minor league option.

plz demote Colin Cowgill for now. I'd like to see Juan Lagares and his rocket arm more.

 

[McNei1y]

I love me some Kristina Akra.

i miss her so much

 

[dmag1223]

I love me some Kristina Akra.

You and me both.

 

[Jack Scofield]

hehe

Haha. I love this. I mentioned it right after it happened.

I gotta admit, when it cut back to Parra lying motionless in the outfield I chuckled.

 

[Brashnir]

i miss her so much

yeah, but I like the new girl too.

 

[McNei1y]

yeah, but I like the new girl too.

She's a huge step up from Debbi Taylor but losing Kristina Akra was like having a gold mine taken away from you. It was like losing Game 5 all over again!

Bluejays broadcaster (Dick Hayhurst) is accusing Buchholz of using Crisco.
Buchholz and Farrell deny his accusations.

David Cone was talking the other week on YES broadcast about trying to get cheating tips from Gaylord Perry. I gather it's pretty common

Heidi Watney can get it too.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

It's hot! Too hot!

 

[Dominican Power]

Heidi Watney can get it too.

 

[Dominican Power]

Someone tell me why Eric Hosmer is such shit when it comes to the regular season?

 

[BigJonsson]

Dirk Hayhurst is pretty funny, so I will take his accusations as gospel because Boston sports teams seem to enjoy cheating/being jerks

 

[sangreal]

SHOCKER, via RAB:

David Robertson is day-to-day with “crankiness” in his left hamstring, Brian Cashman confirmed. He had an MRI today and it is not a DL situation.

Robertson, 28, limped off the field last night after apparently catching a spike during the follow through of his final pitch. He said afterwards he was fine, but the team send him for tests anyway. Robertson has pitched well this year (3.86 ERA, 3.54 FIP), and with Joba Chamberlain hitting the DL, the Yankees really can’t afford to lose their primary setup man. ·

 

[Brinbe]

FUCK YEA, LAWRIE

 

[Brashnir]

Nats scored a run. Haren can totally make that stand up...

Spoiler

I almost typed that all out with a straight face

 

[suEcide]

FUCK YEA, LAWRIE

He has yet to hit a hr in left field. Great power.

 

[Brashnir]

Holy shit LaRoche hit the ball.
