It's spelled like it's pronounced - pronounce all letters. It's generally spelled with a capital R as it's (probably) French from the French words Le Roi (The King). At least I'd guess that's right, Spanish suggests so.

Well, I mean most of the time when I see the name, it's spelled Leroy.

THAT EXPLAINS IT, HE WAS DESTINED TO BE NAMED THAT.

Night Lap

Ramirez reaches 1st on fielding error by Los

Wise - hits into dp

Dolsi is pitching this inning

Speaking of Lincecum, what a double play he just induced to end the inning :haha:

A guy at 3rd, 1 out. Webb bats and hits it to Lincecum. Lincecum throws home and the runner (going on contact) is tagged out. Webb is so slow that the catcher throws home and the throw beats him!

Inning over. C'mon Tigers!

Fields - k

3 outs

Maggs

C'mon Tigers!!

Double! Bunt him over. Oh wait, that won't happen

Strike 3. Should have bunted.
