Lunchtime Links: I Dreamed Last Night that Trey Hillman was Fired

by Freneau on Jun 23, 2009 12:37 PM EDT in Kansas City Royals News

First of all, a quick apology for the relative downturn in posts since Sunday.

Last night I dreamed that I was watching MLB Network with no sound in bed while reading a book, and that suddenly Trey Hillman's face was highlighted on the screen behind Victor Rojas's shoulder. Hillman has been fired I thought, and immediately I began scrambling, trying to get to my computer as fast as I could to post about it. I wasn't happy or anything, just stressed that I needed to get something posted ASAP. Only I couldn't get up from bed.

Typical stress dream I guess. Only wildly more pathetic in this case than most people's.

I know that NHZ has something in the works, and I'm also working on a post about my trip to Wilmington. In the meantime, if you must waste your time online, might you consider these links.

Word from Greg Schaum

Is Matt Tupman is no longer with the Omaha Royals. If he has been let go, he will end his Royals career with the highest career batting average in franchise history. Where is his statue????

I find it weird that we haven't seen the Franceour trade yet

or the strong denunciation of it from GMDM

They're trying to figure out of Butler will get it done by himself

Trey has no place for LOOGYs

The only splits he believes in is personal matchups. Six plate appearances is an adequate sample size!!!

Will I would have still been posting actively

no matter how MONUMENTAL the suckage gets,

But Friday we closed on our new awesome house and then Saturday and Sunday we moved from Raytown to Smithville, right by the lake. It’s been hectic to say the least, and now it’s only starting to slow down.

I’ve still got to trip back and forth to get the Raytown house sold or leased, but I will be here through the thinly thick and mostly thin days.

Zack needs to break us out of this streak today. I need to see him win 3 out of his next four starts (all he has left before the break). Damn all four in a row of the ZacKKKKKKKKintaor’s last starts have been losses. How did that happen?

Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.
