I’d kinda like to do more, but there is something to be said for keeping it occasional.

Will, the affiliate profiles are awesome. Hell, when I first came to this site, reading the previous ones was the first thing I did, just ’cause it was neat.

Just remember, it’s your blog. You write about what interests YOU, and ignore the inevitable douchebaggery from people who apparently haven’t figured out how NOT to click on a link or use their scroll bar.

Hell, I don’t even like everything that I write here. But I don’t mind skipping over the things that don’t interest me. This site should, hopefully, have broad appeal. This means, by necessity, that there will be some things on it that don’t appeal to you. I don’t like “Two and a Half Men,” but I don’t complain to CBS about it. I just watch the CBS shows that interest me and ignore the rest.

I enjoy the Affiliate Profiles a TON. As well as the Retro’s Greatest Royals.. hell like the others it was one of the first things i read, and its kept me coming back every few hours since, so you must be doing something right?

..at least as much as the “real” posts. not because i’m interested in Royals radio affiliates so much, though i’m definitely always interested to see what each piece brings. i’m more a fan of Will’s comic understatement and the radio spots are where he goes full bore into that place. reminds me of James Thurber or Donald Barthelme or any number of McSweeney’s-type writers. honestly guys, read The Battle for Grass Creek again. it’s so grammatically well crafted it’s not even about baseball anymore, it’s just writing. might as well be the last page of the New Yorker. good show, Will!

They’re a nice break from some of the usual bleak, wintry stuff.

Bleak, wintry stuff:
- Gload’s existence on the team
- Bloomquist
- Dismay at Hillman’s love for Gload
- Praising Ryan Shealy
- Praising / Hating / Praising Dayton

You get some stuff on the current Royals, some trade rumor talk, some history stuff, some stuff on affiliates. Very diverse. Its better than 20 threads on “what do you think Aviles will hit this year” or “what would you trade Greinke for” or “will we sign Dunn?” that you get on other Royals forums.

There are lots of threads I don’t go to because I’m not interested in. Don’t see why others don’t do the same. No need to trash them.

It is not really my cup of tea either, but I appreciate the hard work you put in. If the site was starving for baseball content and you were doing these every other day or something I’d complain, but there is plenty of good analysis to keep me busy, so I am not bothered by it in the least. I usually skim through them, however, I have to admit I really enjoyed the one on my home town.

When shows aren’t popular, networks cancel them. Take a hint from them and take this lame horse out back and blow its brains out

Everyone has an opinion at least he made his entertaining. I like the affiliate pieces myself.

Drawing fire on a message board, and apparently this guy does, too. Good for him. Meanwhile, please keep up the good work. I’m sure many here read these affiliate posts without commenting, and they are among my favorite regular features here.

Went over as well as my recent “should we lock Ross Gload up to a long-term deal?” fanshot.

Tell Mr. WildCat he can have his money back, and that you will stop forcing him to read every word you write

dunno why he had to be an asshole about it. why not just ignore the stuff you don’t want to read? it’s fairly easy.

Keep ’em up.
