He should, but I'm not going to count on it. Can't let myself do that yet.

We don't really have an excessive sample size but every time this team has appeared close in the last 10 years Glass spent more money and this team was more aggressive picking up guys. Even with Baird.

At least we're not the Braves and Mets. They're still playing. Game started at 11 PM tonight due to rain. They have to play a doubleheader tomorrow. They are basically playing three games in a 24 hour period if the weather holds up.

hey I'm excited about .500 but lets not get too excited

we're still not hitting well and still not hitting for ANY power

I suppose we'd have to give up Ventura, Dyson, Lough, Getz, Francoeur, all of our Wal Mart shares, Crown Vision and at least 2 cases of Billy's "Hit it a Ton" BBQ Sauce to get Stanton.

Actually that might get his bed pan.

Miami doesn't want any of them.

Out of all the things to add to a team it seems like getting a bat is the easiest. I would rather hitting be our problem and not pitching or defense. Plus this team is loooose as hell. You get team that doesn't give a **** you have a chance at guys just going ham.

I think we saw what crappy defense will get you last night. Truth be told, seems like our division rivals routinely shown some defensive weaknesses.

I see two problems with the “get a 2B or RF if we are within 5 games at the break”. First, unless we can scratch out 2-1 wins for another month, we won’t be – seems a bit chicken or egg. Second, Johnson has appeared serviceable at 2B and Lough serviceable at RF – the real sinkhole is at 3B, and the franchise won’t spend anything on that because they still see Moose as a future star.

Demonpenz 06-18-2013 07:50 AM

If we get into a series with the tigers. I would make Fielder. Cabrerra work by bunting.

Howie Kendrick

I dreamt we acquired him last night. Pls, God, can we make this happen?

The Royals desperately need a 2B. Johnson suuuuuuucks. He is awesome against Tampa Bay and atrocious against everybody else. His OBP is only .286, and he has just 5 walks and 32 strikeouts in 107 AB. Those are Yuni Betancourt-type numbers, but with less power and more strikeouts.

Don't joke here, Prison Bitch deals only in cold hard facts. If he doesn't think it is a possibility do not discuss it, even jokingly.

What do you people think this is, a message board or something?
