Sweeney's batting under .250 and due to be injured any game now. Who gives a shit whether he's in the lineup or not.

Bell is a moron, but Glass signed off on Meche, didn't he? Not to mention Gordon, and Hochevar, and soon to be Moustakes. Allard Baird was the reason the R's sucked arse, not the Glass family. |

Well overall the Glasses have been cheap that is a fact but they have been changing since they hired Moore. Honestly I think Moore knew they were going to stink this year and Bell would be a great scape goat until he found the manager he wanted.

I was at the game and I nearly threw up when I saw Costa DH'ing in the 4th slot. Although he did have one of the only three Royals hits at the time, didn't Sweeney have a homer and another hit last night? What a joke Bell is.

Let's not mention trading away our star players once they blossom into the league and drafting terrible reaches simply because they are easy to sign. How is Glass not to blame?

Yeah, the Dodgers couldn't get Hochevar signed, but somehow Glass did, yeah. Yeah, the Jays, Yankees and Cubs all wanted Meche, but they were outbid by Glass. But by all means keep spouting ignorant crap, yeah. |

If I was Glass I would keep 51% of the team and then go try to find some other investors to help out financially. |

Well everyone in my row, even the Philly fans all about fell over when we heard "Batting 4th the Designated Hitter...Shane Costa"
I mean how the **** do you bench your team captain and clean-up hitter for a minor league, platoon guy batting .186 and put him in the 4th slot? I am not a sWeeney fan but for God's sake man WTF is Bell thinking??? |

OK, for the 1000th time, Beltran wasn't going to sign with KC no matter what. He left KC with no other choice but to trade him. Same with Dye. Baird was the one who got bent over and got little in return. If that really was the case, why is Sweeney still here? Baird is also to blame for draft disasters like Rosco Cosby and Colt Griffin Geez, how many time do we have to go over this. |

Dye we could of kept if we were serious a the time of building a team. He wanted out cause we had no intention of building a team then. Baird was a total dumb ass of a GM. Decent spotter of talent, terrible at managing. |
