No

Sweet baby jesus, Tim Collins is only 23? Seems like a salty vet!

Quentin better wear some extra protection against the Dodgers going forward, they're going to be out to get him.
I will say this for Grienke...he was the first Royal in a LONG time who wasn't afraid to throw at a guy after one of our guys got drilled. It would drive me insane to watch us get hit over and over while doing nothing to stand up for ourselves.

He was still talking to Quentin after the game in the parking lot and tunnel. There are pics out there somewhere. This is going to get ugly. Mattingly was also furious.

Agreed. Of course we all want Stanton but know it's a pipedream. Even if it makes so much sense for us, and would really make me forget Wil Myers. A power-hitting RF we can build around? Yeah, I'll sell the farm for that.

Other potential bats that could become available:
Chase Headley (but where do we play him?)
Josh Willingham
Howie Kendrick (The Angels are desperate for pitching)
Chase Utley (As realistic as Stanton, but the Phils appear to be on the fade in an impossible division.)
Rickie Weeks (puke)
Aaron Hill (If the D-backs crash and burn.)
Michael Cuddyer (I would be great with this.)
Hell, even Carlos Gonzalez is reportedly being looked at.

Billy Butler has come out with his own signature brand of Barbeque sauce. Profits go to his charity.

Now that brings a whole new meaning to "awesome sauce"

Agreed.

I guess that's what you get when your manager likes to felate the opposing manager (LaRussa) in the local press.

I'd love to pry Howie Kendrick away from the Angels. He's on the hook for two more seasons after this one at around $10 million/year, but he's a pretty key piece of their lineup.

I like Headley alot (switch-hitter with pop, though probably not as much as he showed a year ago). He also has played extensively in the OF before, though it was in LF. Not sure he could stick in RF (he was slightly below average there during that season).

Weeks and Hill would also be upgrades.

All of those are potentially realistic.

I would give the Marlins whatever they wanted for Stanton.

Luckily, we have a new man who won't let that **** fly.
