I disabled my profanity filter; it never even crossed my mind. People type '****', I see it. Frankly, I'm not at all convinced I haven't seen that image used several times (that's why I went looking for it).

I was quite a bit pissed, to tell you the truth. I'm not a shit disturber and I didn't get so much as a warning. I was literally typing a post when the ban order went in and when I hit submit it told me I was banned.

Like I said in the FFB thread - this is a board that makes light of children being eaten by dogs, wishes AIDS on people and has an entire thread dedicated to the MS Paint modifications of hardcore porn. I think we ought use a little discretion in decided when to boot someone. Afterall, I can post this:

Spoiler!

With no repercussions but if I post a picture that says '****' in it, I get banned...because evidently '****' is going to get you in trouble with your boss whereas a 19 yr old dancing in her underwear won't.

Whatever, some mods are just jackasses, the end.

I'm spending more time over at shaggy bevo lately, and I don't even like Texas. Shit, all they do is complain about the SEC and aTm, and it's still a lot more entertaining than this place anymore.

People told me if I voted for a Republican for president that we'd get ridiculous censorship in America. And they were right!

I'd REALLY rather see Myers in RF at the end of May than Frenchy.

If they offer Moore and Archer for Myers, do you bite?

That's a tough 'no' vote, isn't it? You get a #1 starter and probable #3 starter for the next 5 years without touching a starter off last year's offense (an offense that was pretty decent as the season went along).

I know everyone's immediate reaction is to just shout 'no!' and move along, but it's a closer call than it seems, IMO. The Royals are going to struggle to get an ace in here and up to speed before they have to worry about getting guys like Moose and Hosmer re-signed. They can't let this window close on them.

If they can get an immediate injection of premier young pitching to go with their good young hitters, it's a thought they have to consider.

I still think they're better off going with a Hosmer/Hellickson duo, but if Myers/Moore is all they can get done, I think they have to consider it.

It has been a long time since I was excited about the upcoming baseball season in November.

That would probably mean the Chiefs suck ass, and the Royals are a contender again.

It must be the 80s all over again, bring on April!

Teams that have been talking to #Royals say they're not done shopping for starting pitchers but now more likely to go young than another vet

I don't see them dealing Myers to Rays or anyone else. RT @chanutehawk: @jaysonst @SeaTownsFinest1 Wil Myers to tampa seems more likely.

The other end of the spectrum, I think, is Justin Morneau pre-injury. High average, good power, etc.

I swear to you...SWEAR to you, that I did not do this in advance.

Look at his #1 most comparable hitter.

No shit. If that doesn't worry you, nothing should.

[CoMoChief]

I'm not gonna give 2 shits about the Royals until they start playing over .500 ball.

Meh, Hosmer's 2011 was better than anything Harvey did. Hos was a ML regular at 21, Harvey at 25. Etc.

It just depends on which Hosmer you think is the true Hos: 2011 or 2012. It's distressing that he backslid so much his second year, but I'm less concerned than if 2012 were his rookie year. I still think he can bounce back and hit .300 with 25-30 homers.

I'd rather have him at 1B, Moose at 3B, Butler at DH, Gordon in LF and Myers in RF, but I also understand the price for quality, cost-controlled SP.

I just hope that DM chooses the right guy to trade, and trades him for the right guy. DM getting both ends right scares the shit out of me.

Every day and twice on Sunday. Hell, I'd do Moore for Myers straight up without blinking.

His performance from May on was phenomenal. I would prefer that to Hellickson/Hosmer, because I think Moore has more ceiling, a lower floor and is also controlled longer.
