Royals 2009 Kansas City Royals Repository. - Page 77

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]

I'm not shocked he doesn't understand anything else.

Well its impossible to tell how hard that ball was hit. /D. Moore

Moore has 2 years left at minimum, he better get on it quickly...i hope we still have arbuckle then so he can take over imo if the job isn't done by DM

It's rare to see a post so immediately contradict itself.

Re: the money, the writing should have been on the wall when Glass refused to up payroll enough for them to sign Hudson.

Come on.

I think you realize that he meant, "I'm done financially supporting this team by spending money on season tickets, but I'll follow them on TV."

Considering the rest of the sentence he parsed said "I will not be renewing my tickets"......

I won't say I am a more of a Royals fan than anyone els here, but I probably have the most vested financial interest and it pisses me off when people say shit like he did. I actually put up the money that could easily go towards a nice vacation for the wife and I for this bullshit team.

That statement displays the level of stupidity that would make Moore a CP icon. Seriously.

Someone had to be giving him a blowjob under the desk to make him lose his ****ing mind and make this statement. No one is this dumb. Right?

Sure-Oz · 07-13-2009, 01:28 PM

Who knew DM was an idiot? Best young mind in baseball, who knew we'd possibly get a dud. I hope he keeps building the young talent cause he has nothing but stop gaps and AAAA players up here.

I am hardly financially invested on this team, i go to maybe 5-10 games a year, half the time its free. I love going to games win or lose, atleast pre-game is super fun tailgating but man it'd be nice to be a .500 team atleast!

I think he was confused and thought he was talking to Twibell.

**DeezNutz** · 07-13-2009, 01:42 PM

Reminds me of when Herm said he didn't "know how to use an internet."

At that moment, any doubt about how ****ed we all were was completely obviated.

Yes, I do.

Likewise, you probably realize that I was merely commenting on the silliness of one declaring "I'M DONE WITH THIS TEAM" when that isn't actually what they mean.

I didn't ignore anything, Pete. I fully support your decision to stick it to the man by not renewing season tickets. But still watching the games and following the team means you aren't actually "done", thus making any delerations of done-ness somewhat fruitless.

I understand where you're coming from, I do. That said, when you have to worry about the ability to re-sign middling talent like DeJesus and Teahen, WTF is the point?

I listened to that and thought: F me. I'm going out there this w/e and rip Jose Guillen and everybody in the bullpen. Gotta get my money's worth.

Thus my clarification of my statement you left out of your reply.

Another thing with the interview that KK keeps bringing up was DM was being defensive....makes you kinda nervous. Maybe he needs a few days break to clear his head too?

Anyone post this yet?
