i missed the playoffs (i dont know how)

in my main fantasy baseball league so i dont have much else to devote my attention to baseball-wise to other than the royals.

It remains to be seen if this is a good or a bad thing.

Seriously

Gator is not even close to being our biggest problem. He is a 4th outfielder playing because MM got jacked in the face with a baseball.

Believe it or not, David DeJesus has been one of our biggest villains since the ASB.

A fact I'm aware of

Gathright, even with DDJ’s slump is being out OPSed by David by over 200 points. Joey Gathright is terrible at hitting and it is depressing to me that he continues to be in the lineup.

Basically said don't count on him getting a call up because he's not on the 40 man

said it would take a lot of moves and he wasn’t sure if it would work out. He’d like to get Shealy some AB’s and wasn’t sure how Kila would fit in. Bukaty had some fun with that.

Anyone else read Rany today?

He’s wrote about the Teahen to 3rd move and how it signals the end of Gordon’s 3B days. I just started, but it’s pretty interesting so far.

by Warden11 on Aug 25, 2008 8:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I see his side of it.

But, does anyone really think they’ll try Gordon in the OF? I see it as more of a move to show that Teahen can play all over the place, hoping to up his trade value.

Kinda Bizzare with Tejeda pitching to Texas

Think Bradley is putting in extra effort against the Royals?

I can't believe anyone is in the stands

Seriously, the Royals have the greatest fans in the world. Why would anyone be at this game, particularly in the 8th inning?

Well, you know

you can tell so much about a player from three plate appearances.

we are 56-74. Chalk this up as a loss. 56-75. 31 Games remaining. To not lose 100, we have to win 7. That means 7-24. Can we do it?
