Let's send some goofy emails to radiobooth@royals.com
We need to get some fake email addresses. What should they be? They have to be distinctive, and realistic names. But sign them like "Wally, Canary Islands" and stuff like that. Also, what questions should we ask? I'm sure we can come up with some good ones. They tend to answer emails on the air, and a lot of them are pretty lame.

Something tells me they wont answer questions about
Maier being the better player than Scotty Pods because of his UZR and OBP.
I love this time of year.... The Royals are always in first place!!!

see that's what I thought
But still maybe Will’s right, and there are ways to ask good questions without talking about FIP and such.
additionally,
my original idea skirts the boundaries of “prank calling” and I don’t know if I would feel comfortable being a part of something so willfully antagonistic when it involves my favorite team, even tangentially.
how about "trap questions" (sort of like Bart mentions below)
Leading into them exposing their ignorance by simultaneously acknowledging the truth and contradicting it, with questions such as
“Even though Maier is a similar hitter to Pods and plays better defense, isn’t Pods’s toughness and experience what makes him the better player?”

I say we flood both the radio and TV inboxes with "great questions"...
Things like “How does it change the game having a great defensive catcher like Kendall behind the plate” and “How important is it to have a great arm like Ankiel’s in centerfield”
or a leading question like “Since Podsednik has had such success in his career as a lead off hitter, what advantages are there to hitting him 8th?”
I like the fawning approach
With great defense up the middle in Kendall, Betancourt, Callaspo and Ankiel, could this be they year the Royals make a splash?
Concrete overshoes also make a splash …
… but with Kendall would we be able to tell a difference in foot speed?
“Baseball has been taken over by stupid numbers nowadays. Stupid, mumbo-jumbo FIPs, cERAs, STDs, ADHDs, tRAs and so on. Given that, how have the Royals managed to find such bargains in Kendall, Betancourt, and Ankiel?”

How about............
What the hell is the REAL story behind Splitt’s voice/throat thing? And is it in any way an early indication that global warming is real? Secondly, why lard the big league roster with no hopers (Scotty Pods, Ankiel) and has beens (Farny, Rod Stewart)? Why not give that PT to the Big Hawaiin, Mitch Fucking Maier, Tug or be Tugged Hulett, and other organizational soldiers, and then empty out the wallet next year when there is some valuable talent on the market? Just saying? We know we’re a few years away, by the grace of god, don’t insult us and continue to piss on the fans of this organizations by signing Jason Kendall?! Can you demonstrate a father to a sister of a thought that would indicate some progressive thinking?
