Thread title is from the song "Royals", of course. Hope you enjoyed the timely pop culture reference. KC is going for eleven in a row right now; Anibal Sanchez is holding them at bay so far, but the Tigers bullpen looms...

Joe Nathan has achieved the first strikeout of the game for the Tigers. Somehow this is not in a 9-8 game.

I swear you guys do nothing but complain about Joe Nathan. I am unimpressed with how much he sucks today :colbert:

Or doesn't suck today? That made some sort of sense in my mind.

Oh well, it was a hell of a streak and I still can't believe it happened.

this is going to end horribly for the angels, another case of terrible bullpen management by scioscia

At the very least, I get to enjoy the feeling of being in first place in June for just one more day.

The Pirates can't go to Jason Grilli in the ninth today, can they? It is a bad idea.

I've seen games go perfect for 12 innings all for naught. I've seen no-hitters pitched on illicit drugs. Homer streaks lasting eight games and 20 run losses. I've seen pennants won and seasons collapse. All these memories will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain.

Time to die.

Because we dared to beat God's chosen team in the playoffs with our passion and chanting of pitcher's names. For our arrogance we will be thrown into cheapskate oblivion once more :suicide:

I missed the Angels game today but it looks like it was basically the same as every other Angels loss this year so I guess I missed nothing at all.

It feels pretty good. Clint Barmes having four hits doesn't.
