I wonder if Lou is going to send him? -
If by Eckstein-like, you mean 'way better than Eckstein', I can agree with that statement. David Eckstein is one of the most overrated players in baseball. The stats paint this picture well, I do believe. But boy, he sure is gritty! Eckstein-like production is pretty much Ryan Theriot's upside. The stats suggest a player with little power and decent plate discipline. If he could play short as well as Eckstein, I'd be very happy.

Ugh, Dempster. I hope this isn't a preview of things to come.
-
I hope you're quoting something assinine that the royals broadcasters said, cause that is the worst insult you could ever level on Theriot. I hate that guy (Eckstein). While you may not like the guy, I would be pleased as heck if Theriot turned into an Eckstein-like player. Of course, these guys are just talking out of their rear ends.

Any guesses as to who is #90? Could it be Hoffpauir in a different jersey?
-
They're going to run this xylophone joke into the ground.

I think they are pretty informative. For example, I never knew that the bleacher fans at Wrigley were known as the Bleacher Creatures. That's kinda what I mean. I've never heard that before. I know, I was being sarcastic. I think Yankee fans refer to themselves as the Bleacher Creatures.

Riot!

Brewer makes an errant throw on a would-be double play ball from Pagan. Runners on first and third.
-
DeRosa bloops a hit.
-
Floyd goes down on strikes.

Ohman comes in and strikes out Shane Costa.
-
Wuertz strikes out Brewer. New pitcher coming in.
-
Buck hits a soft liner to Cedeno. Runner holds. 1 out.
-
Wuertz still pitching. Walk to Sheely.
-
They are not just annoying, but they are incredibly boring. I'm expecting a half-inning of Bartman talk before this one is over.
-
Barrett flies out to center. 8-6 Royals after five.
-
Aramis grounds to third.
-
DLee flies out to left.
-
They're putting a hurtz on Wuertz.
-
3 run bomb for Sweeney. Nice job, Wuertz.
-
Wuertz in for Hill. Facing Sweeney with 2 outs and runners on first and third.
-
More dead air. Wonderful.
-
I hope so. Last year Aramis mashed the ball in spring only to get off to that horrendous start. I don't know what was more annoying, the fact that he got off to such a bad start or all of the "he didn't hit when it actually mattered!" grumbling that inevitably followed.
