KU for MU today wont be following the royals game
Go Royals ( and KU)
Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.
Buster Olney blogs about the Royals again.
The Royals have improved in many places, including their collective confidence.
jeez
i don’t read buster olney very often, but i have in the past couple days. he seems to make too many errors. or at least it reads in a way different from the facts.
we didn’t invest $14M in farnsworth. we invested $9M with the option of a third year at $5M, which i’d doubt we’d pick up. yesterday he got information wrong about what sort of draft picks we’d give up.

BP 2009 on 27-year-old RHP Moseley:
A highly regarded prospect when he was dealt to the Angels by the Reds for Ramon Ortiz, Mosely has a four-pitch mix centered on a cutter and a curve, but he doesn’t have enough finesse to make it work at the big-league level.
BP 2007 on Moseley:
When you were a freshman in college, did you have a classmate who, doomed by genetics, lost all of his hair before the year was out? Think about him—already carrying the mark of an older man by his nineteenth birthday. Moseley’s lot is much like that of someone with a prematurely exposed pate: Lacking any particularly reliable out-pitch, Moseley’s destiny is to be a Quadruple-A hurler, casting about for emergency starts and the off chance that some really bad ballclub will somehow back into having him on their roster. It’s the sort of thing that ought to encourage a guy to look up Mike Scott and ask for a tip or two on how to conjure up an unhittable forkball.
Pre-game warm-up: pare that down to 50 words or fewer, making it both more informative and funnier.

i wish they would take the louisville game off right meow… i need to see the pregame of mizzou beating kansas haha
Mike Jacobs.... I hope your bat has as much lift as your hair does.....
Royals signed Bruce Chen to a minor league deal
according to Royals.com….Woohoo Offseason saved
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
Starting lineups
Royals
1. Crisp, CF
2. Bloomquist, 2B
3. DeJesus, LF
4. Butler, 1B
5. Jacobs, DH
6. Gordeon, 3B
7. Buck, C
8. Pena, SS
9. Maier, RF
Angels

3. Sandoval, 3B
4. Napoli, DH
5. Rodriguez, 2B
6. Brown, 1B
7. Evans, RF
8. Pettit, LF

Wow, the Angels lineup
is almost exclusively AAA guys. (Or at least most of them were in ’08)
WTF, self?
ESPN 1400
is our Springfield affiliate, and they had the first game on Wednesday, but have not heard one since. Has Jacobs played defense yet?
Bloomers Bats 2nd
My world is right now; he’s a sac bunt machine!
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
it isn't working yet,
my computer’s been acting up lately, I don’t know if it’s the site or the ol’ PC
It might be just the Angels feed that’s free. The Angels’ main page says that all their spring training webcasts are free.
Yeah, now it's wanting me to sign in
I gotta leave for a bit, I’ll try the angel feed when i get back
Bruce Chen
Hasn’t pitched in the majors since being DFA’d by the Rangers in 2007. He won’t report immediately to the Royals ST camp because he’s pitching for his native country, Panama, in the WBC.
I got this info from MLB.com. Bruce Chen is Panamanian? Really?
The immoderate moderator
Paternal grandfather emigrated to Panama from China. More on Wikipedia.
Still trying to find out whether he pitched in an independent league or overseas last year.
He might have had TJ or labrum surgery
That’s the kind of thing that can keep you from pitching for a year

single to right on pitch up in the zone
plates one, runners move to 2nd and 3rd.
I guess it's easy to say without actually seeing
but while I like Billy’s reaction to prevent a run, he’d be better to go for that DP. I hope he looked at it and simply thought he couldn’t get it.

anyone know how i can get windows media on my mac? i can’t listen

Cromicide?
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
by philofthenorth on Mar 1, 2009 4:22 PM EST up reply actions
HAHAHAHA!!!
excellent – cromicide will be a new term we’ll use when we are devasted.
For instance:
Joakim Soria was placed on the 60-Day DL and is flying to Alabama to meet with Dr. James Andrews. In related news, all Kansas City Royals fans have committed cromicide.
How about E: No reaction.
I know nothing about him, but a minor league contract is pretty inconsequential and low risk.
Fourth to First
i'm being facetious
as long as he doesn’t make us a laughing stock – a la Brett Tomko, Hideo Nomo, etc.
