Was he in the Greinke trade?

Can you believe how awful he is? I mean, 4th full season age 26. To be this bad in his "prime" is just, wow.

Moose available to pinch hit

It was a fun ride. :-) The injuries at the wrong time did us in... as did Ned's boneheaded lineups.

Our lineups today are SOOOOOO uninspiring.

It's funny how quickly everything crumbled, lol.

I think injuries did play a role in the demise, if indeed that is what this is. I'll admit I'm still hoping.

But to me, and Petro said this first, the biggest issue is that we don't have a star player in this lineup. That's why, this offseason, I go all-in for Giancarlo Stanton (Ventura, J. Bonifacio, Adam, whatever) and try to extend Shields with 2 more years.

Good fight right now on the radio between Petro and that dentist that writes about the Royals.

I've never seen another professional team give players off so much time for bereavement.

I'll catch the podcast later. What are they arguing about?

You mean the guy who co-founded Baseball Prospectus in his spare time, while in Dental school?

Being a "nice" good guy matters more to this organization than winning. Doing the Christian thing is more important than winning.

FTR, Rany's a dermatologist

thought he was a dermatologist.

The Shields/Myers trade. What else?
