RYAN SHEALY NOW!
Seriously, his promotion is long overdue.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
It is crazy, Moore brought him in to be his 1B, didn't he?
he’s HIS guy, now that he’s showing that he might be able to be that guy, how can you not let him try it??
It its a roster problem, shouldn’t he have thought about that long ago. I mean, he signed Gload in the offseason, had he already given up on Shealy?

Ryan Shealy
He’s younger
He has the semblance of power.
He fields his position pretty well.
Moore gave up two TWO pitchers (the commodity of baseball) to get him.
Yea, I don’t get it either. Any reasonable GM should be able to see Ross Gload is a stop gap guy who belongs on the bench, not a guy who plays every day.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
Obligatory repetition
Hillman thinks Gload is an everyday 1B, and he’s not coming out of the lineup unless Moore signs Lou Gehrig.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
I'd settle for Wally Pipp.

In fairness

25th anniversary of the Pine Tar Game is tomorrow
a shame nobody in promotions figured that out.. since i’m guessing that combining Pine Tar and Girl’s Night Out might be awkward
So, which relief pitcher will Hillman abuse today?
Monday, it was Gobble for 45 pitches
Tuesday, it was Peralta for 50ish pitches
Then he can go back on the DL
and we can see some more Jeff Fulchino!

Massive lineup shift time!
Pena in the game at short, Butler to first, Gload to left, Guillen to the bench, Aviles to center
sooooooo who is playing in the OF for gathright next inning?
who’s left on the bench?
Buck?
Probably German to LF, Guillen to RF, Teahen to CF, TPJ to SS, Aviles to 2b?
