Think I said Herrera will end up being the closer, and I still think that. Not sure when it will happen though

You're not the genius in saying Holland is still good.

It's just funny when football fans watch April baseball. Now, if the Royals are good...I'll probably get a full year of laughter.

Someone today said the smartest thing he's ever seen was when Lorenzo Cain fake bunted on a 3-0 count.

Last week you would've been happy for a .500 road trip, now you are talking about sweeping the tigers? We are facing scherzer, verlander, and sanchez.

And those of us who watch almost every game, every year?

Unlike you....

[Sure-Oz]

Still like Herrera in the 8th. He's the best pitcher in that pen with Holland not far behind. i'd rather have him go 2 innings than 1

Pretty sure he was being facetious. I hope he was too.

So I can bump this thread in a week to tell you I TOLD YOU SO!

Hootie doesn't, so that is why he has all the answers.

I called it gamesmanship, wanna fight about it?

[Hootie]

I'm just trying to help Ned out.

We'd score more runs if we'd stack our best hitters.

and MeatRock

you don't have good enough grammar for me to debate anything with you anymore

you're just too stupid
