Callaspo 2nd?
How did he get outta Treys dog house? I’m guessing frozen yogurt.

Another decent lineup
Maybe switch Callaspo and DDJ, but I can live with this.
Other than Guillen playing RF, that is
On the plus side
Playing Guillen in rainy weather increases the chance of a groin pull for him.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
And it slows the ball down in the outfield!
So many positives
It's raining where I am in Phoenix.
Of course, I’m not really that close to Surprise, but it doesn’t look good outside.

55 and scattered showers?
That’s the same forecast for me…in Kansas!
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
Extended forecast for Phoenix

More weather notes...
since there’s nothing else going on.
Gameday says that the wind is at 27MPH WSW. Question does the “WSW” indicated the direction the wind is blowing from or blowing to? If they actually play, that wind is either blowing IN from right field or OUT to right field!

What?
I mean, if you start at the mlb.com main page, how can you get to the gameday links? I see slayor’s link above it, but I’m not seeing where he got it originally.
Here's how I got there
1) Google “mlb gameday”
2) Click on the first result “About MLB Gameday”
3) At the top of the page, there’s a scoreboard with all of the games. Click the game you want.
Going to the MLB.com page makes it much harder—you have to find the “About Gameday” page.

Sausage Fest
Seriously, all the meat you can eat, sliced right at your table. Haven’t been to En Chamas but went to one in Denver. You break out with the meat sweats before dinner’s over.
The one in Denver
Had all kinds, it’s supposed to be a “Brazilian” steakhouse style. They roast meats on a spit and then bring the whole thing straight out of the fire pit to your table and slice it for you right there. Beef, lamb, pork loin, chicken all seasoned various ways. Plus you get a salad bar with some sides, too.
Too expensive to go very often, but nice for a special occasion.

As I was saying
before I was rudely interrupted by accidentally hitting “return,” I expect a call up this year for Crow and hopefully Arguellas wins a spot next Spring (while he’s starting in Wilmington, he’s still supposed to be fast-tracked, that’s why he signed with KC for less money). I said the end of 2011 for both of them at the latest in case their a little more conservative with Arguellas.

I’ve been of the opinion that Moore needs to be replaced for some time. I guess my thought was that he would have been a fine general manager in the 1980s. But now I’m beginning to question that. It’s not just that he has a bad philosophy, he can’t even implement his bad philosophy.
I guess what I mean, is that the players he brings in won’t even be good in old school ways. No Moore-acquired player is going to hit .300 except callaspo, who Moore seems to hate. No Moore-acquired player is going to rive in 100 runs or steal 50 bases etc. Even his bad players suck.
