So I guess this takes him out of GMDMs middle infielder picture... a good thing in my eyes.

Moore is going to sign every overpaid, crappy middle IFer in baseball!!!!!

Boy January really is the season of over-whining. Why is it that Royals fans aren’t content with whining about what actually is? Isn’t there enough of that to whine about? Must we also whine about what may happen in the future?

[btw, this wasn’t a response to Collin’s post, per se. It’s more of a response to the general assumption that if there’s a stupid move to be made, then Moore is going to make it. His roughly average GM performance over his tenure certainly doesn’t warrant that kind of knee-jerk hyperbole]

We've already whined about what there is

We’ve moved on!

Pollyanna's back!

Just screwin with ya.

I’ll defend those people who may need to vent frustration with Farns, Guillen, etc. signings.

I might also argue that it’s not as much a reflection on GMDM, rather the recent (if you can call 24 years recent) history of the Royals in general.

BTW – still think Lacock would make an awesome middle name for NY ,Jr.

Then I would suggest that the fans actually speak to the issues of the Farns, Guillen, etc. signings

I mean, if fans are pissed about the Farns, Guillen, etc. signings (and they certainly should be and I certainly am), then let’s post about that, comment on it, talk about and bitch to our hearts content. I’ve done it. Most of us have. If someone hasn’t had their fill, then they should feel free to do even more of it. And I know that complaining about potential Hairston/Eckstein/Bloomquist signings is about that, but how silly is it to talk about how stupid Moore is for pursuing those players when we don’t even know if we is. What we know at this point is that Crasnick is speculating that he things Moore might or could have an interest in them, or that Crasnick thinks they’d be a good fit for the Royals (he wasn’t exactly clear).

Again, I contend that bashing Moore or the organization or the current state of the Royals is fair. But shouldn’t those criticisms be directed at what has actually been done, and what the Royals actually are, rather than complaining about unsourced rumors as if they were reality? Again, there’s no shortage of reality to complain about. We don’t need to get into complaining about fantasy as well.

i agree

I hope GMDM doesn’t make any more stupid moves but I was posting this mostly to dispel fears that we may sign Hairston — we didn’t and now can’t b/c the Reds did. I guess people need something to talk about, tho.

btw

how often have you been rec’d recently?

by CollininCalifornia on Jan 7, 2009 3:03 PM EST up reply actions   1 recs

I don't know

Most people have a love/hate relationship with me and often my posts. Or perhaps a love-to-hate relationship.

Until we have an anti-rec button

I think recs should be ignored. :P

I rec'd your ignoring.

What do you say to THAT?!?

I'm anti-rec-ing you whenever the

option becomes available.

So be it.

Doesn’t bother me as much as you I guess….However I read LOT’S of comments that do annoy the Hell out of me, but usually refrain from complaining about it.

Refraining from comments that annoy the hell out of me gives me an ulcer. So I let it out.

I can relate.

I’m pretty sure I do have an ulcer….

I pretty much stayed away from the computer during the election.

And I don’t have enough free time during the day in order to respond to all the things I disagree with.

i think you did the double quotations

you only need one quotation button press and it takes care of itself. Oh well. Live and learn.

by CollininCalifornia on Jan 7, 2009 3:04 PM EST up reply actions   1 recs

I think we need to multi-quote more
Such as me
quoting me
quoting me
quoting myself

That looks like the awful format on the Royals Corner message boards. I’ll pass.

I can’t stand that at RC

New sarcasm font?

those were glory days of 2008

If this was really Royals Corner, wouldn’t we need a post about how the 2009 marketing campaign was going to center on Mike Jacobs?

I can't even bring myself to go lurk over there anymore

It might be a little unwieldy for a sarcasm font, but it could work.

Farnsworth will prove he’s worth the money by June.

That’s not too tough. Just block quote it and then block quote around the block quote.

change "prove he's worth the money"

to “prove his worth” and you don’t even need the “font”

Worth should not even be a part of his name, to me he is just the Farns.

Kyle Farnsworth is my hero. Not many men can turn zero talent into 9.5 mil during a recession.

rec's galore.

Rec'd, but only because

this goofy number of recs is making me giggle.

we should have a joint BBQ
