That said - I've never understood professional athletes doing stuff like that. Look - you scuffled a bit. Nobody said "Fire Rosenthal's worthless ass into the sun..." they simply made a fairly benign comment that maybe you weren't sharp that evening. Bader got all huffy with a blogger when the guy pointed out that Bader can't hit breaking balls. Okay - well Bader can't !@#$ing hit breaking balls. At all. And eventually it's gonna be his ticket out of the league. What's the point in getting indignant over that fact? Nobody made it personal, nobody even questioned his dedication or effort. But if someone just makes a factual statement 'hey, X is struggling with Y' - why would you be all uppity about it? |

I have downgraded Bret Phillips out of the 5-slot in my all time Royals defenders and replaced him with Wilson. He’s botched some plays this year and I know you needed my new ranking.
Re: Rosenthal. I’ve always liked him too. I understand why they had to cut him tho. These are the perfect fliers for us. Homer Bailey, Montgomery, Mike Minor, Wily Peralta et al. We aren’t winning until our rotation gets set anyway. Btw someone will do that with Ian next year. 2M+ incentives, he will prob go 50IP at 4.20 and the GM will act like he’s a savant. |

Royals are drafting about 6th-7th now. Plenty of time to go on a 18 game losing streak. Pirates are awful bad though. Maybe have to settle for Leiter instead of Rocker.

Royals aren't getting the number 1 pick and so I'd rather watch competitive baseball.

Good lord Whit is good. Hopefully he will still be at this sort of level when we are better.

Wtf is up with Kyle Zimmer? Hasn't pitched in like 10 days. Is he injured? He's been one of our best bull pen arms. Doesn't make any sense.
