My blog has moved to MVN, and will be one of the featured Royals blogs (alongside Royals Authority).
It is now called...Royal Blues

congrats, minda, from me and the master

Speaking of the now 45000+ strong Royals blogosphere, anyone out there know the “In Dayton We Trust” guy/gal?

my question is
who grills beans?

I think it's a think piece
Beans don’t burn on the grill because they fall through and burn on the charcoal. And the Jeffersons are the beans who are getting out of the fire and moving on up. Deep stuff.

Well,
what’s wrong with frying fish in the kitchen?

That is very deep
But… you can cook beans on the grill, you just form a bowl shape with some foil and place them on the edge of the grill so it is technically impossible to burn them

Wait.
“about time”?? It had been in the works for, like…a day and a half.
Incidentally, you were among the first 10 people to know it was going to happen. And no one ever told Clark and Craig from Royals Authority.

Not what I was hoping for when I clicked on "Ladies"
How dare you objectify men in such a way……but I have to give you thumbs up for the Mckenzie brothers reference….loved those guys…I would have thought they were before your time.

Is it me, or is Royals Review becoming a farm system for other blogs?
How long before NYRoyal/Royals Nation/someone else writes an angry piece about how SBNation/MVN/whatever needs a salary cap so that RR doesn’t lose all its bloggers to big-market teams elsewhere? Then RR can respond with a sarcastic “MVN is destroying out national innocence.”
Yeah, if minda is Carlos Beltran, that makes me Angel Berroa.

NYroyal is like Jairo Cuevas
he throws hard but hasn’t put it all together yet.
that said, NYroyal is a breakout candidate.

Are you saying that the Braves Blog claimed him off waivers?

yes

And signed him to a milb bloger deal

I'm considering going to Japan and blogging there
Different blogging culture, but there’s more money in it and you don’t even have to be good.

by NYRoyal on Jan 8, 2009 7:36 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
they will when NY gets there
he’ll get to blog about guys such as Craig Brazell and Dan Johnson. lucky him!

Since the average apartment is about 450 sq. feet
…I’m going to guess that the basement will be about 3 feet high. I’ll have to blog on my belly. That will be a good test of blog grit.
BTW, that reminds me. Do you guys remember how Craig Brazell got off to a hot start in Japan and was hitting HR’s like crazy? This was his final stat line:
521 PA, .234/.294/.446 27 HR, 887 RBI, 30 BB, 139 K
A .294 OBP in Japan? Yikes.

We just need better revenue sharing
Minda needs to write a check to all of us so that we get a piece of her MVN money.

does this mean we have to trade Minda
if her contract demands become too expensive for us to afford?

wouldn't it make more sense to offer her arb
maybe we can get some draft picks out of it

The Elias rankings haven't come out for this blog season yet,
but some estimates indicate that I achieved Type B status.

Those rankings are BS
They are made up of old school blogging stats which are more appropriate for evaluating someone’s diary entries.
