ST Game 9 Open Thread - Rangers vs Royals

304 comments
The Royals have an organizational book. They're carrying it everywhere they go in Arizona this spring and consulting it frequently. It's called Are You My Lefty Starter?, and today the little birdie asks that eponymous question of Heath Phillips.
Ron Mahay and the Royal Farnsworth are scheduled to relieve.
The other team is apparently called the Wranglers or the Ragers or something like that. I never heard of them. But I did hear that Tommy Hunter gets the start for them on the mound while Omar Vizquel has an audition at second base.
Broadcast: the Royals radio network, MLB.com, XM Radio channel 181.
MLB.com Gameday: here.
This morning the Royals also play those same Riders or Ringos or whoever in a B game at George Brett Field. Gil Meche will pitch a little and Billy Butler will return to action after recovering from a reported contusion in the distal portion of his upper left limb. If you're in Surprise with your 3G phone, why don't you stop by George Brett Field and provide us with the play-by-play right here? Thanks.

They're Called "The
Rattlers", and we hate them.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

They're the "Rangers"
They used to play in New York. I think they just moved to Texas, somewhere near Waco I believe.

More juvenile reading: something I read about Waco scared the bejeebers out of me when I was a kid. It was an account of a flood that occurred there, and Waco was described as being located in a topographical bowl. It had the ring of doom about it, as if every time it rained people had to fear for their lives. At the time I had no notion of topography anywhere west of Scranton, so it loomed large in my imagination. Maybe I should have stuck to the “I Can Read” series a little longer.
I still haven’t ever been to Waco, but I have gained a more reasonable understanding of a geographical basin.

It says here that those guys won a championship in New York.
Are you sure this is the same franchise?

Yea
But it was in the “NHL” which I think is a minor league.

It ain't that bad
Pretty much standard small-to-medium size Midwest/Texas city, like Springfield or Topeka or Lubbock. Has all the standard advantages and disadvantages of these places. They’ve got a decent university, Baylor, and so have a little bit of cultural life. It’s too damn hot in the summer but that’s true everywhere down there.

The question of whether Greinke’s post-arbitration years could have been secured for less was discussed in some depth. But for those who were concerned by that question, I think it made the difference between a good deal and a great deal.

They all knew what they could do
According to Denny talking about the late 90’s Indians teams “Vizquel didn’t try to be a 30 HR guy, and Thome didn’t try to be a good bunter. They all knew what they could do”
Denny, Ryan is making you retarded. Stop it. Please.
