Thankfully I now live in texas far away from the angriness of the NYC crowd.. they remind me of the monkeys at the zoo, frustrated and playing with their own crap... sometimes they get a little bit on you..

But i do miss going to the live games of my boston teams.. texas sports just pales in comparison..

yup

best sports city on the planet

people not from here (i.e texas) dont get it

 

[nynasty]

comment away, we can always use a new boston fan in here

dont mind the angry NYers...they cant help themselves

Yanks on their worst run scoring pace since 1990.

And that was a godawful team.


When David Adams is your best hitter, it's probably not a good sign.


Gulp.

capt. pinetar has a lot of work ahead of himself.. though it would be nice to see if he can do something with that rag tag line up that the royals have over there..

George Brett’s new job as Royals hitting coach is a clear message that Moustakas and Hosmer need to grow up. Take the training wheels off. Scholarships are over.
Hosmer is 23 and Moustakas 24. They are young players, sure, but you may have noticed that Texas’ Jurickson Profar hit the go-ahead home run against the Royals on Sunday. Profar is 20 years old, and now has more home runs in 40 plate appearances this season than Hosmer has in 207.
No more blaming it on youth, because just in the last three years we’ve seen Justin Upton, Mike Trout, Giancarlo Stanton, Pablo Sandoval, Buster Posey, Andrew McCutchen, Bryce Harper, Evan Longoria, Carlos Gonzalez, Billy Butler (yes, Billy) and others turn in star numbers at Moustakas’ age or younger.
The truism about the Royals’ latest attempted march into baseball relevancy has been that the whole thing is dependent upon Hosmer and Moustakas being good players. They don’t need to be Hall of Famers, or even perennial All-Stars, but if they become Juan LeBron and Dee Brown then nothing else matters. It all falls apart, many baseball people lose their jobs, and Dayton Moore’s “Process” is remembered in Kansas City like Carl Peterson’s five-year plan.
They must at least be thinking about the worst-case scenario during private moments in the Royals’ front office: what if we were wrong about these guys?
The Royals have no safety net here, and are operating accordingly. Hosmer and Moustakas are important enough and scuffling enough that in the last eight months the Royals have fired three hitting coaches and this is where their new baseball lives are interesting.
Because Brett is in uniform now, and if Hosmer and Moustakas continue to underwhelm nobody will blame The Greatest Royal Of All-Time. Brett is the first hitting coach with the stature and nature to call them out. The first with a big league resume they look up to.
No more excuses, in other words.
No more blaming it on a lack of veteran leadership, because Butler and Alex Gordon are friendly examples of players who’ve navigated what Hosmer and Moustakas are struggling with.
In the first few days of Brett’s new job, you don’t have to read too hard to see code words about Hosmer and Moustakas needing to transition from Baseball America champions to legitimate big league sluggers.
Dayton Moore: “The fierce competitiveness that George brought (in his playing days) is something I feel we need in our clubhouse.”
Ned Yost: “It’s a special mindset that you have to have to be able to accomplish all he has.”
Brett himself: “Get rid of the (baby) bottles, let’s go.”
