I did tell Bloomquist to do his best to avoid the torn labrum at all costs (Gordon nodded in solemn agreement there), but wasn’t clever enough to tie that to the Royals training staff! Also, I was extremely taken aback that I was just mocked by a SPORK.

I’m no shrink, nor do I play one on TV, but here’s my theory about Gordon:
   It’s easier for him to deal with attention from kids, because they’re just wide-eyed and innocent. Their fandom is easily sealed and their adoration is genuine and sweet. Attention from adults, on the other hand, comes with the “next Brett” expectations and a lot of really fake ass-kissing. To a kid, a high five and an autograph mean the world, but older fans smile to Gordon’s face but still call in to radio stations or write blog posts blasting him, and he knows it.

was taken aback about how “cool” he seemed. real nice guy.

But I get the feeling I like RL a lot more than most of the rest of you do.

Whose side are you on in the NBC fight, Jay or Conan?

“Conan, we watch him every night. We’re kind of bummed that he might get kicked off the air. He’d better not go.”

Hmmm… let’s see… is there a Royals analogy between the NBC situation… a younger, less popular “host” getting screwed because the morons upstairs, like generic watchers/fans, think a much older host/player who used to be really good and now is terrible, are willing to let the younger host/player work for another team/network despite the move costing them more money?

What could the analogy possibly be?

I give up, there probably isn’t one.
