Guys

You will love my question. LOVE it.

what was it?

OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

by devil_fingers on Dec 2, 2008 4:58 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

I don't even pay attention to those chats anymore

Typically the questions they allow are something like:

What’s your favorite color?
Don’t you think Jacobs is great!
Who is the next speedster your are going to acquire?

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

figures

the only question i got thru was the most vanilla i submitted.

My Question; "Is

Jose Guillen’s defense good enough to play him in RF regularly?" It is submitted.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

I'm Surprised He

Chose to address the question and the candor with which he replied.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

What did he say?

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

by NYRoyal on Dec 2, 2008 4:29 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

he takes good routes to the ball and he is committed to coming in this year in great shape and also has one of the strongest throwing arms in the league.

Well, also that he expects

Guillen to come to camp in shape this year to avoid the health problems he had last season.

by Bornin85 on Dec 2, 2008 4:32 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

And I expect to get a solid gold Corvette for Christmas

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

What the hell, did we change personalities for the day?

I’m trying to be more even-tempered, and NYRoyal is busting out with the cynicism…

I think the Pitch f/x discussion may have pushed you over the edge~!

OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

by devil_fingers on Dec 2, 2008 4:45 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

I'm losin' it!

There’s no reason to be optimistic about Guillen. Sure I think he’ll hit a little better next year than he did this year (I think 2008 was a bit of an outlier for him). But to expect him to be in shape and healthy? You might as well say that you expect him to be a warm, cuddly and loving clubhouse presence.

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

Jacobs Will Protect

Hoagie big time.

I plan to be in better shape when February comes around

and healthier too!!!!!

Actually

I have been pleasantly surprised by the questions. They have been very good, thus far. I have submitted three but have yet to read a response from them.

The Nation at large.

by Royals Nation on Dec 2, 2008 4:21 PM EST   0 recs

you know, I can actually see that

Guillen is a crappy player at this point, and not much fun as a teammate, but I’ve said vefore that he might be OK to hang with.

I can just see him and Dayton randomly meeting in some bar at the winter meetings last year, having a few, retire to Jose’s posh suite and busting out the bong, and Dayton saying

“Man, this is so f-ing fun… imagine us on the road together, dude! yeah… C’mon, ditch those losers in Seattle. It rainsn all the itme there. This is us, non the road.. C’mon… 3/36…”

Guillen is a crappy player at this point, and not much fun as a teammate, but I’ve said vefore that he might be OK to hang with.

Until you say the wrong thing. In all honest, I see him as the kind of friend/acquaintance/teammate who is affable and fun to be around, but with a hair trigger. If he hears someone saying something which he thinks is the wrong thing, he’ll lose it. In short, I think he’s very sensitive to all kinds of things and quick to fly off the handle.

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

by NYRoyal on Dec 2, 2008 4:54 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

then again, Johnny Drama is my favorite character in "Entourage" (not that it's a great show or anything)

so maybe he’d better on reality television than to hang out with

If the Royals don't use camo uniforms sometimes, the terrorists win

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

I've grown tired of our military

Then again, it may lead so someone shooting themselves in a bar.

Nah, no professional athlete would let that happen.

Go Royals!

by BabyBlues on Dec 2, 2008 4:36 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

No poliltical issues

but they’re just so freaking ugly

The White Sox “shorts” uniforms are better (at least for camp purposes) than camo

I hate the camo-uni fad

but again, we can’t let the vietcong win

by royalsreview on Dec 2, 2008 4:56 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

I think they should go with pink unis for mothers day

To work themselves out.

Or

“We’ve got a lot of options and I’m certainly not going to tell you what I think is most likely to happen.”

The Latest Q

Is about Teahen trade rumors.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

by philofthenorth on Dec 2, 2008 4:44 PM EST   0 recs

He either

1) Is looking forward to spiking another rumor; or

2) Is royally pissed at being asked that

Haha, I said royally.

by Bornin85 on Dec 2, 2008 4:45 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

that's a lie!

Teahen Is More

Important to the team now than he was in 2008, and he’s upset about the rumors.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

by philofthenorth on Dec 2, 2008 4:46 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

OK, I'm starting to think that Teahen is DMGM's mistress, and Mark's upset by all the talk

I wonder if Dayton is wearing the tie Mark gave him

OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

by devil_fingers on Dec 2, 2008 4:47 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

The only smart thing to do is to act like Teahen is a very good player who is very valuable to the team

That can only help his trade value and Moore’s negotiating position for a trade. And if he doesn’t get traded, Teahen can feel like he has the full support of the boss.

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

by NYRoyal on Dec 2, 2008 4:48 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

"more important"

not to take anything real from a chat, but maybe DMGM knows the team is better off getting rid of Guillen and playing the superior player with the lower salary.

Hey, a guy can hope. (and no, saying Teahen is superior to Jose Guillen is much of a compliment for Teahen)

OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

by devil_fingers on Dec 2, 2008 4:52 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

I'm sure Moore would like to trade Guillen

And will continue to try to move him. He just probably won’t be successful.

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

by NYRoyal on Dec 2, 2008 4:55 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

Maybe He Can

Get a RH reliever for him, if we swallow the contract.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

I Think He

Means the scouting staff will have to “qualify” their strong statements about talent, because “quality” makes no sense.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

by philofthenorth on Dec 2, 2008 4:54 PM EST   0 recs

They are using a bad typist

S/he will probably get fired. Everybody has to do a better job for the Royals to contend.

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

by NYRoyal on Dec 2, 2008 4:56 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

I only hope the chat questions are up to snuff

She doesn't really hang out in Alaska much anymore

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

by NYRoyal on Dec 2, 2008 4:58 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

the obscurity was her ace in the hole

that’s a big mistake

And now she's got a big bulls eye on her back

And it is other Republicans who are gunning for her.

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

by NYRoyal on Dec 2, 2008 4:59 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

The Only Reason

She might know where Nikiski is would be the oilfield; she lives in a pretty small world.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

by philofthenorth on Dec 2, 2008 4:59 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

she lives in a pretty small world.

And yet she can still see Russia from her house.

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

by NYRoyal on Dec 2, 2008 5:00 PM EST to parent up   0 recs

A Texan Who

Was up here for the first time on oilfield business thought that the west side of Cook Inlet was Russia. I’ll be going to Soldotna, which is Russian for “soldier”, this afternoon, if that counts.

maybe she had just stepped out of the way back machine

from when Russia owned Alaska…

The most important element

of a player’s success is their belief system and desire to compete.

So that’s what we’re going for – not a team that takes walks, but a team that believes…Nostromos Creemos! Bring back Tony Pena Sr!
