Game 77 Overflow Thread
Royals 7, Rockies 3.
Jose Guillen can call the rest of the roster babies, but he's not allowed to talk dirty to my DDJ.
PS: Horacio Ramirez is in the game. Everyone take cover, baseballs will begin leaving the park any second.

I guess I disagree
When your offense is this bad you have to take flyers and look at other options. Carlos Pena was a flyer. Not every guy will turn out that great, but it won’t cost you much to find out.

Well,
you disagree in this particular case. When you’ve got nothing to lose and holes in the line-up to fill in the off-season, taking fliers makes sense. It’s just the way I see it here, we had Gload-who was as good as Broussard or Shelton last year-and Butler who was highly thought of. I don’t think that Butler being sent down was the right move, but it wouldn’t make much sense to bring in another below average 1B to play for a month while Butler was done, would it? A Broussard or Shelton has no future on a rebuilding team’s roster.

Maybe it's a different point
But I do think that DMGM can be criticized for signing Gload for 2 years if he could have had one of those other guys and Gload would only sign for 2.
Shelton’s playing like crap, but last I checked (before the miracle HR), his OPS+ was higher than plus-plus’s

+1
I’m against using him with a lead, but let’s keep this in perspective. He’s not in the rotation, nor, I think, would he be the first option of someone went down. He’s not replacing anyone important, and we’re paying him nothing. Not a big deal.

But Brandon Duckworth and Neal Musser both seem actually useful, unlike Horacio, who only seems useful at carrying the team luggage.

And the difference between Ramirez and Musser isn’t going to cost us, I have a feeling. Plus, the Royals might actually want to keep Musser as an option in the future, whereas Ramirez needs to prove himself now or die.

Hey
Actually watching this game on TV since FSN RM covers the Rox. Just wanted to get on and give some props to Ross and, of course, Joel. He was right, Ross just needed some time to get his power built up and then put it on display. All is right with the world now.
Oh, and I will be making my move to KC on Thursday, hope to attend at least one of the games in the Cards series this weekend.
Guess I'll have to change my name now...damn

Stranger Things Have
Happened.
Poem: The Cremation of Sam McGee
by Robert W. Service
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows.
Why he left his home in the South to roam ‘round the Pole, God only knows.
He was always cold, but the land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell;
Though he’d often say in his homely way that "he’d sooner live in hell."
On a Christmas Day we were mushing our way over the Dawson trail.
Talk of your cold! through the parka’s fold it stabbed like a driven nail.
If our eyes we’d close, then the lashes froze till sometimes we couldn’t see;
It wasn’t much fun, but the only one to whimper was Sam McGee.
And that very night, as we lay packed tight in our robes beneath the snow,
And the dogs were fed, and the stars o’erhead were dancing heel and toe,
He turned to me, and "Cap," says he, "I’ll cash in this trip, I guess;
And if I do, I’m asking that you won’t refuse my last request."
Well, he seemed so low that I couldn’t say no; then he says with a sort of moan:
"It’s the cursed cold, and it’s got right hold till I’m chilled clean through to the bone.
Yet ‘taint being dead—it’s my awful dread of the icy grave that pains;
So I want you to swear that, foul or fair, you’ll cremate my last remains."
A pal’s last need is a thing to heed, so I swore I would not fail;
And we started on at the streak of dawn; but God! he looked ghastly pale.
He crouched on the sleigh, and he raved all day of his home in Tennessee;
And before nightfall a corpse was all that was left of Sam McGee.
There wasn’t a breath in that land of death, and I hurried, horror-driven,
With a corpse half hid that I couldn’t get rid, because of a promise given;
It was lashed to the sleigh, and it seemed to say: "You may tax your brawn and brains,
But you promised true, and it’s up to you to cremate those last remains."
Now a promise made is a debt unpaid, and the trail has its own stern code.
In the days to come, though my lips were dumb, in my heart how I cursed that load.
In the long, long night, by the lone firelight, while the huskies, round in a ring,
Howled out their woes to the homeless snows—O God! how I loathed the thing.
And every day that quiet clay seemed to heavy and heavier grow;
And on I went, though the dogs were spent and the grub was getting low;
The trail was bad, and I felt half mad, but I swore I would not give in;
And I’d often sing to the hateful thing, and it hearkened with a grin.

Till I came to the marge of Lake Lebarge, and a derelict there lay;
It was jammed in the ice, but I saw in a trice it was called the "Alice May."
And I looked at it, and I thought a bit, and I looked at my frozen chum;
Then "Here," said I, with a sudden cry, "is my cre-ma-tor-eum."
Some planks I tore from the cabin floor, and I lit the boiler fire;
Some coal I found that was lying around, and I heaped the fuel higher;
The flames just soared and the furnace roared—such a blaze you seldom see;
Then I burrowed a hole in the glowing coal, and I stuffed in Sam McGee.
Then I made a hike, for I didn’t like to hear him sizzle so;
And the heavens scowled, and the huskies howled, and the wind began to blow.
It was icy cold, but the hot sweat rolled down my cheeks, and I don’t know why;
And the greasy smoke in an inky cloak went streaking down the sky.
I do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear;
But the stars came out and they danced about ere again I ventured near;
I was sick with dread, but I bravely said: "I’ll just take a peep inside.
I guess he’s cooked, and it’s time I looked;" . . . then the door I opened wide.
—Word Info image © ALL rights reserved.
And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace roar;
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: "Please close that door.
It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear you’ll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it’s the first time I’ve been warm."
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
