Royals my phone died last night while I was in a Ned Yost fit of rage - Page 7

Hootie · 10-24-2015, 08:24 AM

but the funniest thing, for me, this postseason is simple

there was a GDT this year where I, of course, spent 2 ****ing hours arguing about a fly ball to CF where Jirschele didn't sent Morales from 3rd with Kiermaier in centerfield with 0 outs ...

and about 5 people concluded ...

MIKE JIRSCHELE WAS GOING TO LOSE US POSTSEASON GAMES.

And we'll end this thread there.

Dick Howser is remembered fondly now. I went to a lot of games during that period and I can always remember fans bitching about him. In fact, I can remember him get shit on for some decisions in the 85 playoffs. Whitey IMO was the best manager the Royals have ever had.The team just wasn't quite ready. I believe it might have been the difference in 80 had they kept him around. I'll admit I was really young then, and would definately defer to some older guys who understood the game better than a 6 to 14 year old kid at the time lol.

Sure.

Just like all the other times.

I'd much prefer the former. Kendall is such an old school red-ass, it scares me a bit. Kirk Gibson-esque.

Ned made the worst decision he has made in two years last night, but his team bailed him out again.

He's tactically challenged, but it works more often than not.

Raul Ibanez is a MLB managerial candidate?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed his career as a Royal and cheered him elsewhere.

But what makes him an MLB candidate?

I call bullshit.

First off, the Royals faced a shortened season and had major drug issues with the players. Everyone knows that.

Secondly, he basically took a quickly rebuilt team to the ALCS when there was NO wildcard and only TWO divisions, then won the World Series.

More bullshit.

Whitey had FIVE seasons. He didn't need another year.

The team stopped responding and could only go so far.

It's been said enough times.

That's a load of horseshit. Yes, you did. Don't try to backtrack now just because you just realized how stupid your original statement was.

Whitey Herzog managed the Royals from 1975 to 1979. He took over a losing team in with 66 games left in the 1975 season, and he led them to a 41-25 record. Then in his first 3 full seasons his teams won the first three division championships in club history. They lost in the playoffs to Yankee teams that were simply better than them. In his 4th full season the team finished in second place with a record of 85-77, and he was fired because Muriel Kauffman had a major personality conflict with him.

That was NOT a situation where it was time for a change. Only a ****ing moron would draw that conclusion. It's not a surprise that YOU drew that conclusion.

I gave you a polite response and you responded in your typical asshole manner. The thing is, I get it. Your whole Internet persona is based upon trying to be a tough guy and responding with anger and insults whenever anybody dares to disagree with you. But your act has grown so stale that nobody really gives a shit. You're the yapping chihuahua that annoys everybody but scares nobody.

This was a better forum when you left "forever". It will be a better forum when you leave "forever" again.

Two things are apparent here:

Whitey Herzog IS arguably the best manager the Royals ever had. His record with the Royals and the Cardinals proves that.
You are arguably the worst poster on this forum. Your lack of knowledge combined with your constant anger proves that.

Everyone involved came to that conclusion.

Duh.

More whining from a moron who dares to call himself "Brainiac".

Would be cool if Royals threads don't devolve into the general bullshit.

Dude, you're wrong. I know you're incapable of admitting it, but you're wrong. I've already told you TWICE why Kauffman fired Herzog.

You're off your game tonight. Usually your insults are a little more creative than this.

There's no reason to "rant" about the truth.

**RealSNR** · 10-24-2015, 11:03 PM

It's such bullshit that we traded for a guy that we now have to treat with kid gloves as the #4 pitcher in our lineup.

Oh well. At least he's better than David Price

I immediately hated the trade and was called out by many of my friends and some people on CP.

I wish I had been wrong. The guy is garbage.
