Royals 2009 Kansas City Royals Repository. - Page 83

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 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]

Raises a good point.

This isn't the Dayton Moore approach. Drafting HS, high-upside guys, who will also be very, very expensive should they develop, seems antithetical for a franchise operating on a lesser budget. And this was part of what I was getting at with an earlier post in this thread, advocating advanced college players, excluding those that sit out b/c a team isn't willing to make them sufficiently wealthy.

Fkg wow!

Long blog post, but well worth the read. Of course, I feel like slitting my wrists after that "uplifting read", but still worth it.

Gotta say, I feel exactly as he does. My emotional currency, as it relates to the Royals, sits at zero. I will watch with some interest, but I won't start "caring" until they can put together a team of people that know WTF they are doing.

Oh my God! They killed Rany! You bastards!

NOOOOOooOooOoO Rany!1111111

I'm still a big royals fan, always will be...im doomed

**DeezNutz** · 07-15-2009, 06:31 PM

Good to know I'm not alone in having the feelings that Rany expresses.

I stated in an earlier post in this thread (I believe) that I've been feeling more passionate about the team than the people running it. And in this type of situation, the problem is definitely my own, my own stupidity.

Cheers, Rany. Look forward to seeing you around the water cooler from time to time.

You know what? if i had typed "ROYALS" instead of braves, that would've been believable.

Remember when Baird was absolutely in love with Austin Kearns? Well, we've found Dayton's version.

Tony Pena is hitting .156/.178/.192. Read that again: .156/.178/.192. His OPS+ is exactly 0.

That was one of the funniest things I had ever heard anyone say, acting like scrubs are top priority.

who wouldn't you trade for Escobar? (assuming "we" didn't have a hardon for Betancourt)

Butler?
Gordon?
Meche?
Teahen and DDJ?

(just asking)

Greinke. List over.

Yes, I'd trade Soria for a front-line SS.
