Royals 2010 Kansas City Royals Repository thread - Page 77

SPchief · 04:22 PM

All Royals All The Time!

After consultation with others who peruse the game threads we decided to create this as a repository for all things Royals. Minor league news, AL (ahem) Central (thanks Vonne) news and anything Royals can be found here.

alnorth, me and atleast 5 others will continue the game threads as usual. But if you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

If a big story breaks, you can still start a thread about it. There is merely an all inclusive thread that will make a easy for us all to keep up with all things Royals.

Welcome! "Grab a Brew... don't cost nuthin"...[spills beer on feet]

Eat shit Guillen, you lying sack of shit. The guy is the ultimate "me first" player. I've watched hundreds of cases where Jose Guillen failed to move a runner over with less than two out, swung at the first pitch he sees after previous batters had consecutive four ball BB.

I've seen him dog it to first base. I've seen him forced out at 2nd, 3rd and home. And while he was running his yap I'm sure another runner took an extra base.

Contract year. Fighting years and years of evidence in an attempt to get one last multi-year deal.

Guillen with another rant

Can't say i disagree but i'm sure his teammates just love him even more now.

why is he saying this now?
is he really, really trying to get traded?
me thinks he's doing it the wrong way.

ughhhhh.

Perfect illustration of why batting average is a vastly overrated statistic.

We need guys with a high OBP, and we need guys who can hit for power. Give me this combo, and we'll have a team that ranks a lot higher in runs scored.

I don't blame Guillen. He's frustrated and sounds like he wants to WIN. Good for him. He's probably just trying to say that so he can go to a winning team, but I don't blame him for being pissed.

Well said. The guy is injury prone; a liability in the field, but despite having much better defenders to throw out in RF, he whines about being the DH. Is that the team-first, winning attitude he's looking for? Get him the F off this team....I'm so GD tired of that guy.

Colon with another o-fer tonight. 0 for 4 with 2 Ks. Rough start.

Melville falling back again, 4 IP, 4 hits, 4 BBs, 4 runs (2 earned) and only 2 Ks.

Tyler Sample with a decent outing, 6 IP, no walks, 6 Ks and 3 ERs.

Embarrasing and sad.

Missouri officials say it was an unfortunate error that led to the destruction of a memorial in honor of great Royals closer Dan Quisenberry.

The memorial, which included a tree, was established near Kauffman Stadium to honor the memory of Quisenberry.

The Royals Hall of Famer died in 1998 from brain cancer. The following spring, kids with shovels and the Royals mascot helped plant a tree in his honor.

The Missouri Department of Transportation put up a plaque.

The tree and plaque are now gone. This after workers began work on building ramp off Interstate 70 to improve access to Kauffman Stadium.

Royals officials were stunned to learn from KMBC about the destruction. They said they were not notified beforehand.

State transportation officials say it was an unfortunate mistake. Crews are clearing the area of trees in preparation for the road work.

Missouri officials promised that the state will work with the Royals to replace the tree and the plaque.

MODOT officials have not said where the new memorial will be and how quickly they will correct this error.

Royals spokesman Toby Cook said Quisenberry's widow, Janie, told the Royals that she is not upset by the mistake because her husband's memory will live in her heart forever.

How braindead do you have to be to approach a tree WITH A PLAQUE and just remove it without question?
