2012 MLB Season Game Thread: May

Bryce oppo RBI double

[Omar]

He was running them down, apparently how he likes to get his running in.

Was it John Smoltz that said Mariano could be a GG if he played CF? Or something like that?

[Ramp]

torn ACL for Rivera

[Fritz]

Ouch. That is crappy.

[jOOj]

One of my alltimes. Not much to say.

[Party]

Maybe Hank Steinbrenner will ask the league to get rid of BP shagging too.

Too soon?

Rivera interviewed

Jesus, that was gut wrenching.

[FishFF]

Shitty. Hope he plays another year.

Three weeks ago, Jeff Francouer had 20 pizzas sent to fans in a right-field section in Oakland. And last night, at a game in which he was part of the promotion, Francouer did a little something for the home folks in Kansas City.

The Royals have designated a right-field section at Kauffman Stadium as The Frenchy Quarter. For every Thursday home game this season, fans in that section also get a T-shirt and a drink coupon for the price of their ticket. Last night was the first Frenchy Quarter Thursday of the season, and Francouer sweetened the deal by tossing an autographed ball to the section's fans, along with a C-note and some instructions. Here's video of the fans' reaction:

[Ramp]

Was posted already.

Mariners are taking the field tonight to a Beastie Boys song.

[Valid]

Oh. Well it was so bad that it deserves to be posted twice. That was just awful.
