Late Night Royals Links: Reaction to Cruz and Fields, RIP Alan Sillitoe

Usually that means something good.

for ten worst wives/girlfriends

nothing on the drop of Cruz and Mendoza and the promotion of Thompson and Chen. I have been busy but here is my small take:

Mendoza: Thank God he is gone! It was agony watching him. Dayton says he hopes he accepts a minor league assignment so don’t put him in your past just yet.

Cruz: I still thought he had a shot. Don’t get me wrong, he was sucking this year, but his strikeouts were getting higher and was not giving up bombs or anything. To say goodbye to $3 million + when he might not even be the worst guy on your team seems to be sudden and rash. He might be out of baseball-or we might be paying for him to get back on the right track for another team.

Chen and Thompson: REALLY!? I think we have seen what Chen can do, and Thompson is also somewhat of a retread. I cannot believe that we are not seeing what we have in Rosa or Hayes. We cut 3 people in an 8 man bullpen. Neither one of those guys is in the top 11 relievers? Child, Please!

Those secretary photos reminded me of Mad Men. – TL

Q- What happened to his wealth?
A- When he became an outspoken Christian in 2002 his income went down by 70% when he refused roles with gratuitous sex and violence.

Q- How much money does he need?
A- From what I read in public court documents Stephen needs several million dollars to pay all of his creditors but he deserves hundreds of millions for his Job like faithfulness in the face of relentless loss and persecution.

Q- Why does Stephen need personal wealth?
A- Stephen’s influence is in Hollywood. Hollywood worships money and without it you are seen as a loser and cannot be an effective influence to this group.

5 years $125 million. That could be one albatross toward the end. But he should age well, what with the Subway diet and all.

“Royals INF Chris Getz will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Monday. He’s been on the DL since April 15 with a strained right oblique.”
