Kaegel Strikes Again!

by loyal2sdad on Nov 17, 2008 3:04 PM EST

Our favorite recurring comedy act was in rare form today. At the end of an answer to a question about why the Jacobs trade was widely panned, our lovable but clueless patsy for the Royals said the following:

"By the way, despite Jose Guillen's, umm, rambunctious season, his 20 HRs and 97 RBIs were nice numbers. You didn't hear too many folks whining about his .300 OBP.

Oh, where to begin, given such a target rich environment?

I guess I'm happy just to suggest to Mr Kaegel that they sell cue-tips at most any store in this country. I would suggest Wal-Mart, because the owner is certain to plow the profits into the Royals. NOT.

Just goes to show that counting stats are meaningless

And that Kaegel is a Tool McToolface for putting any stock in them.

That wasn't whining Dick

it was more like sobbing…

Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!

Great stuff

I think Kaegel should be packaged with Guillen and dealt for a compensatory draft pick of some sort.

by cookierojas73 on Nov 17, 2008 4:51 PM EST 0 recs

Wait, the Royals get rid of Kaegel and Guillen

and you expect them to receive compensation?

If we received something for Burgos

we can receive something for anybody.

its debateable whether banny qualifies as anything...

we may have been better off just letting them have burgos….

…cue NYRoyal telling me that Banny really isnt that bad…

TPJ...you're dead to me

You're kidding, right?

Even if Banny never pitches another inning for the Royals, he at least had that one great year, and at least he’s not in constant trouble with the law.

Banny has value the same way Duckworth does.

Go Royals!

Now that is a joke

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Banny's good year doesn't count

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

4.69 ERA? Just release him. That's putrid.

Where’s that sarcasm font when I need it?

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Bill the James predicts

Brian Bannister’s 2009:

173 IP, 4.26 ERA, 4.62 FIP

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

I Am The

Colon King of the Kenai Peninsula. I was fully awake and comfortable through the entire procedure; they oohed and aahed at the wonders of my colon. I have pictures, which I will be sending to all my friends and relatives. Apparently I’m good for now.

"they oohed and aahed at the wonders of my colon"

Sounds like an average night out in NYC.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

It is

The underground clubs are much worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Point well taken

Every time I read the title of this fanpost, it strikes me as "Kegels Strike Again!"

That would be a much more bizarre and interesting post.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Kaegel being Kaegel...

And he gets paid to write that stuff. go figure!!!!

you can't count heart

at least he made Billy Butler cry……….guys on the major league beat are co-opted by the club, its like the “embedded” journo’s in Iraq……why would they make waves? They are almost de facto employees. On the otherhandism, to be so out of touch is another thing altogether. If you were responsible for reporting on the Royals, wouldn’t you devour all things Royal (not to mention the random Zero Bar), including daily reviews of the veritable cornucopia of Royals blogs available? Sure, the Royals suck with a capital U, but as far as blogs go, we’ve got to be a top 5 outfit. An outlier considering our success between the lines.
