did hell freeze over, or did i see this right

Probably take three, maybe four errors by the Royals to blow this one now. They've really set the bar high for themselves, but I have confidence that can lose it.

**rolemand** · 05-25-06, 02:04 PM

they might have had 4 HR's in a row but Leyland pulled Maroth after just giving up 3 in a row. Come on leave him in there. He only threw 28 pitches and he already got 1 KC batter out. I'm sure he could've gotten the 2nd out before he got to 50 pitches.

**moses millsap** · 05-25-06, 02:29 PM

They won't even have the lead after the 5th inning, lol. It's already 6-5 and Detroit is threatening. I'd really like to see the Royals lose every single game this year. That'd be classic and it's not out of the realm of possibility for these retards.

**bigboydan** · 05-25-06, 02:43 PM

maybe they won't blow it today. it's 7-5 now royals.

I'm not even sure if I would back the Royals at even money right now with a 2 run lead and two runners on base.

**priceperheadexpert** · 05-25-06, 02:47 PM

At 17-5..in the 4th you are still not safe..

**JoshW** · 05-25-06, 02:49 PM

Where is there ingame betting, I would take a shot against them. LOL

**bigboydan** · 05-25-06, 03:58 PM

the tigers get 3 runs, and there tied 8-8 now in the 8th. the sick part is the tigers are still at bat with a runner on 3rd.

**bigboydan** · 05-25-06, 04:27 PM

omg, i see the royals just blew it yet again today. not only are the detroit ML backers jumping for joy, but the RL backers are.

Detroit 10
Kansas City 8
Top 9th

**bigboydan** · 05-25-06, 04:32 PM

now thats the Royals team we all know. the tigers score 5 runs in the 9th, and are winning 13 to 5

this team does indeed go out of there way to lose games.

**BuddyBear** · 05-25-06, 04:48 PM

13-8....Detroit in a romp

**Willie Bee** · 05-25-06, 05:01 PM

Way to go, KC! I knew you had it in you!

So, how long does Buddy Bell last? Think he'll make it to the end of what will eventually be a 21-game losing streak?

no manager in baseball could win games with this squad. He's not the best manager at all..but the team's g.m Allan Baird needs to get the axe first or as well.

I don't understand why it should be laid on him.

What can he possibly do to make them play better. This isn't little league. He can't go hit grounders to them and watch them try to turn 2 without anyone running.

Most consider Joe torree a great manager even though I know the truth that managers don't have much to do with the game, but what could a great manager do in this situation? Or any situation. Coaching baseball is overated anyway, but what would you expect a manger to do in this situation when are totally outgunned in every area of the game by every team you play.

**daystrom** · 05-25-06, 08:56 PM

Nitwit took out Koppel who was pitching great and put in the human over machine Burgos followed by Elmer Fudd.

**The Great One** · 05-25-06, 11:51 PM

LOL at the human over machine. NICE

**Illusion** · 05-26-06, 02:29 AM

Leave it to the Royals to blow a 6 run lead and still lose by 5.

The Athletics are trying to challenge the Royals I take it. They blew a 7 run lead after 5 innings. Im really starting to do a double take when looking to bet on the A's.

Not saying that it is all Buddy Bell's fault. Just like it wasn't totally Jimy Williams' fault in Houston a couple of summers ago. Same thing with Cal Ripken Sr with the O's in 1988. He was fired after an 0-6 start, Frank Robinson came in and the team promptly lost another 15 games with him at the helm.

But historically, the manager ends up being the first to go. Old adage, "It's easier to fire one than to fire 25."
