I haven't done a thread since we were rolling in May. Maybe I can bring some mojo back. Gotta get 2 out of 3 minimum here, but really need a sweep. Royals sending 3 goons to the hill. All likely to throw no hitters though.

Friday- Francis (3-11) v CC (8-8)
Saturday- Paulino (1-8) v Masterson (8-7)
Sunday- Davies (1-9) v Carmona (5-10)

Royals starters in this series are a combined 5-28. It is now or never. Go Tribe.

Curious to see where Fuk u homie hits. I'm guessing he will lead off with his good OBP, with Brantley and AC following.

We definitely have the piching advantage....but will we hit?

I'm sure we won't sweep the shitty royals. 2/3 would be nice though.

We gotta take advantage of the shitty pitching and not make these guys Cy Young winners for a weekend.

Heading up to the game tomorrow....first one in a couple years. We usually win when I am there so I'm feeling good about it.

Fukodome batting 6th. Kearns in left, Fuk in right, color me unimpressed with our outfield. At least Santana is playing 1st and Marson at catcher. This is going to be a long 2nd half...

Francis is LH correct? That can be the only reason Fukudome is hitting 6th. At least I hope so. Why would you get a high on-base no power guy and put him in the 6 spot?

I'm pretty sure Fukodome is in right and Kearns is in left. I'm surprised he's hitting so low in the order. What's the point of having a high OBS guy if you're gonna hit him in front of Hannahan Kearns and Marson?

How close will we be to .500 after this series?

Hope TBone can turn it around.

Acta said he wants to get Fukudome adjusted to the new team before he leads him off. Said he wants to give Carrera a few more games leading off, then will switch if needed

Read this earlier today, then that the Ludwick deal may get delayed until the Hunter Pence deal gets done. The Padres obviously are trying to milk as much as possible for their pieces.

Fukodome will fit right in. Ks twice in his first AB. Umpire felt bad he was in Cleveland and called the first a ball.

Asking price will come down. Question is, when it comes down, do the Rockies just pull the plug?

Carrasco is a fukkin punk, He should be suspended for the rest of the season without pay. It's one thing to lose your temper for pitching like hsit, it's another to aim a heater directly at someone's head.

And we want this team to be "buyers", why? They have about as much life as Amy Winehouse right now.
