I really don't know how we're going to get along without him. Temper your expectations for the rest of the season.

It didn’t even occur to me to take a picture as the Nomo era was coming to a close. Dang, that would have been worth something.

About a week too late

Honestly, he never should have been on the roster in the first place.

How long does everyone think Luke will be in KC? Just to make a few starts in place of Bale and back to Omaha? Or does he have a chance to stick? Personally, I think he’ll be back in Omaha regardless of how he pitches so he can have some success in the minors (and push back his service time).

I'd say you're probably right.

Unless he really dominates.

/fingers crossed.

Nomo Will Clear

Waivers; what then? Let’s hope Peralta’s Nomo-esque outing was an anomaly; he should have been with the team instead of Nomo all along.

Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!

Then he should get well acquainted with Omaha

I wouldn’t be surprised if he just retires though.

I never did see why KC was so thrilled with Nomo

coming out of ST. Peralta or Musser should have made the team. But, Nomo kept up the annual pattern of one goofy roster addition in ST that doesn’t make any contribution to the team The Chris Booker or Steve Andrade award.

Will Nomo go to the minors in order to keep the dream alive? Does he have Crash Davis or Tim Laker or Pat Borders career ambitions?
