Feels like Aardsma has pitched every day for a week.

Yeah, his profile description used to describe his awesome brilliant beautiful girlie friend. None of that, no more. Meanwhilst, Duda voluntarily speaking is always tweetable information.

EY has a mean game face when he's at the plate.

How about our bullpen?

Recker's got beefcake power.

Atchy getting it done with the arm and the legs. The key to this game is our bullpen's defense.

I guess the presence of Atchy means that Parnell is still unavailable.

I'd be shocked if this poor guy isn't mocked mercilessly on Deadspin by the end of the day.

ALRIGHT!!! (I just scared two sleeping dogs to death.)

Nice job, Brown. Needed that last inning, but...

Pedro Feliciano, centerfielder.

It would likely work better with a second real shortstop. But Q's strikeout definitively didn't' work.

Let's pull Q and send Brown up against the lefty. Flurg, who else didn't want to see Recker up there?

There it is from Murph. We can hit the fastball, just not the junque. Tying run at the plate.

And I just don't see how he's fooling them. No speed, and no impressive movement, so it must be placement (also not particularly impressing me) and changing speeds enough to keep them guessing wrong.

We're not touching Chen at all. Nine in a row. Harder to do it against the bullpen.

Just did a report on Baxter and used the word guys. Definitely didn't say fir or anything.

I don't know what he's dealing with, but I certainly dothen't think he's worthless. I just don't think he should be thought of as a shortstop in any but the break-glass sense. I liked Fernando Tatis better there. A guy with that sort of lateral range and relatively modest arm at short better be able to rip the ball on offense.

Just watched the Head & Shoulders/Old Spice ad and as best as I can tell, the lady smells Wilson's hair, he raises his eyebrows in puzzlement, turns, and says, "This the way you guys electro curtail?" The heck?

Chen changing speeds effectively, but not much else. Righties are getting around on him easily, but not stringing anything together.

I'm gathering that he's Irish by heritage and college affiliation, rather than birth. I miss Guys! This guy is like... Cookie O'Guys!

Gotta come up and in on somebody, Hef. Find your inner Harvey.

Well, that was an unsettling out, as Gordon flies to the fence. Royals up 2-1.
