Weekend Royals Links: All Hail Insanity Wolf With Weird Greinke Rumors Flying

Above all else, this will be remembered as the week that Dayton Moore v. Insanity Wolf came into our lives, probably the single funniest blog post I've read all year. Meanwhile, earlier this week, there was an out-of-nowhere Greinke to the Brewers rumor, which I first heard about via Schaum on Twitter. For the Brewer response, click here.

Star-divide

Enjoy the rest of the links, which are sundry and numerous. You'll find that the conpletely reasonable Pirates rebuild continues to draw bizarre criticism, that hitter/pitcher matchup stats suck, that Brandon Inge has bad knees and all kinds of stuff from around the globe. I'm on the road this weekend, so you're spared my weird baseball speculative fiction for the time being.

How to fix the WNBA

the same way to “fix” Dayton Moore’s front office.

How to fix the WNBA?

Any of these 3 options work:

  1. Turn the players into men
  2. Replace them with men
  3. Replace them with bikini models that jello wrestle at half time.

Ha

And last month, the desperate-to-be-edgy Foxsports.com video series “Cubed” played host to a debate about which activity was more palatable, women’s hoops or gay porn.

That is actually a very tough conundrum. I’m leaning towards the porn, personally.

aren't they really

the same thing? sure, women’s hoops is a little bit softer, but the muff-bumping down in “the paint” can get rough at times. those chicks have teeth down there…

I think a T-chart analysis

is in order.

Zack Greinke on the Brad Pitt - Jennifer Aniston split

that's why I asked about his contract status

pretty sure he’s already well-connecetd to the franchise

Greinke to the Brewers won't happen

or else I buy land in the woods to build a log cabin, an activity more fulfilling than watching the Royals finish 50-112 next year.

there is absolutely no way to justify trading the only phenomenal player on the team and making your team worse. It won’t happen, because it’ll cement DM as another Allard Baird.

Hoping that the Tigers fire Leyland and steal Trey Hillman from the Royals

Allard

would wait until the walk year to get such a crappy package. And would line up the next Kevin Youkilis as part of the deal, only to have it vetoed by ownwership.

Ho hum.

Didn't read any of the above...

Just watched the Yank-me’s clinch the AL… Drunk as I am… don’t know what to say about it… Hope the Royals can make it happen someday. You will see grown men cry.

Sorry to vent here

but Arrowhead Pride has become intolerably full of mouth breathers and “instant gratification seekers”

Holy Shit!!!...Peterson resigned...Am I dead?...Is This Heaven?

Pioli's plan so far:

Step 1: Take over 2-14 team that has lost 23 of 25 games.
Step 2: Hire first-time head coach, sign unproven QB, trade hall-of-fame tight end, make virtually no other personnel changes.
Step 3 ???
Step 4: Championship!

Step 3:

Observe Dayton’s parade at the plaza; take notes for own parade

Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!

by loyal2sdad on Oct 26, 2009 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

Step 3:

Blame everything on everyone else, overhaul the roster with smart FA signings and a good draft over the next 2-3 years, hire Bill Cowher out of retirement, and draft elite linemen.
