Kansas City Royals at Seattle Mariners, Aug 28, 2009 7:10 PM PDT



Felix Hernandez

I wonder if Bannister is aware of how hopeless the Royals really are. And if so, I wonder if he's aware of the fact that they're thinking about giving Moore an extension.

I think Brian Bannister models clothes in his downtime.

Possibly for JC Penneys.

About to toss a football around.

My head was going in this exact direction.

He looks like a guy that enjoys a fine scotch after a fine steak, while sitting with beautiful happy people. With the whitest teeth imaginable.

Saunders being benched against a RHP

Meh I would rather see him over Hall against a righty. Still no Ichiro!

Has there ever been a player/GM?

Because Bannister should be made one immediately.

Also, I think that considering all available players, today’s Mariners’ lineup is probably the worst one all season.

Boooo!

Even Robert wants to win on Felix Day!

Fuck Anaheim.

This is why I will be his Chief of Staff in the new administration.

He can’t be trusted with such crucial decisions.

High socks!

Is it a tribute to Ichiro, or just him wanting to look better? I dunno.

Either way I'm a fan

Plus they do look a lot better.

Another nail in the Royals coffin-- missing on Pujols.

“His rise to the big leagues is now baseball lore. He hit like crazy in high school when pitchers actually gave him a chance—”I put up sick numbers," Pujols says. “I was a monster”—but he did not even make The Kansas City Star’s first-team all-metro baseball team. He went to Maple Woods Community College in Kansas City, Mo., and in his first game he homered and made an unassisted triple play at shortstop, then his regular position. After a breathtaking 1999 season there (.461 with 22 homers), he did not get drafted until the 13th round by the St. Louis Cardinals that June.

“We all saw Albert about the same way,” says Allard Baird, who was then general manager of the Kansas City Royals. “We weren’t sure he had a position. He didn’t have a great baseball body. We all saw him the same way, and we were all wrong.”"

Wait, did Blowers just mention Jeter in MVP discussion?

Not only would that be ridiculous, but so would anyone who isn’t Joe Mauer
