Rob E Dangerously

what's the difference between Fieldturf and Astroturf? Fieldturf has some padding? Why do you need fake grass in Nebraska? BLOCKED FIELD GOAL, KSU BALL! WHOO!

and supposedly the University of Nebraska is finding cures for cancer it's nice to know that Lawrence Phillps got a new job.

God damn Nebraska.. it's satisfying that those morons just screwed themselves, one Husker got an INT and the other hit him and knocked it out by accident and Rheem just blew an EASY field goal. Come on.. ANY FUCKING GRAMATICA WOULD HAVE HIT THAT! It's even worse that they had such a late hit on Roberson knocking him on his bad wrist.. especially with the Husker astroturf.

It appears that Graeme "the Boomerrang" Lloyd was mentioned for a relief job in Colorado. Lloyd's time in KC was ugly.. like the time that he came into the game in the third inning when Appier got hurt. 3 outs, 2 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, 1 strikeout. It seems the only team he didn't blow against was the Yankees. Then again, maybe he remembered when he was worth a damn as a Yankee. It takes a special kind of pitcher to give up 15 runs in 12 1/3 innings

Paul Abbott and John Halama sign with the Devil Rays Abbott's showing in 2003 with KC as a starter 8/11/03: 4.2 innings - 6 runs, 9 hits, 3 walks, 1 strikeout 8/21/03: 5.2 innings - 3 runs, 3 hits, 4 walks, 4 strikeouts 8/28/03: 6 innings - 1 hit, 4 walks, 6 strikeouts (the game was delayed for a long time due to rain) 9/2/03: 4.1 innings, 1 hit, 2 runs, 6 walks, 5 strikeouts 9/7/03: 7 innings, 5 hits, 3 strikeouts and a win 9/12/03: 6 innings, 9 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, 3 strikeouts (loss) 9/17/03: 5 innings, 6 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, 6 strikeouts (loss) 9/22/03: 4 innings, 6 hits, 4 runs, 2 walks, 1 strikeout Anybody care to guess why I disliked Abbott? because he put too many people on base and he didn't last too long (because he threw so many pitches) Plus, he's going to be 36 next year. Goodbye Paul! (I wonder who will sign Graeme Lloyd)

KSU's beaten Nebraska twice since 1998, 29-28 (2000) and 49-13 (2002). The last time KSU beat Nebraska in Nebraska was 1968.

other predictions for the weekend Missouri over A&M Kansas State over Nebraska Oklahoma State stomps Kansas Arkansas beats NMSU BYU beats Notre Dame is the 53 (or 52 1/2) spread the largest spread you remember?

Oklahoma/Baylor the Sooners are favorites by 52 1/2 points, for you guys out there who are going to bet on this There's no way in hell OU doesn't beat the spread here. I like CollegeFootballNews take on this game Oklahoma 66, Baylor 0

Actually.. Brett slid into third after a triple and crashed into Nettles http://www.kcstar.com/sports/brett/hofday.htm

Although Graig Nettles notices the post earlier and you wait until it's useful before you protest. "Fire them all"

I think the Royals will be facing the Yankees in April this year (in KC) and in August in New York. (Somebody can check the 2004 schedule) The Yankees/Royals game with a Royals victory and about 20 doubles was very enjoyable. And I can tell my descendents that I saw Jesse Orosco pitch live, and that he didn't even get a single out (he walked Ibanez and gave up a hit, I think)

let's put it like this.. im March 2003, if you said KC was going to contend late into 2003 but not win it, most people wouldn't believe you. They wouldn't respond by saying "DAMNIT! WHY DIDN'T WE WIN?" Cleveland was projected to be better than KC this year anyways, and if not for a rather poor stretch in September and the Twins winning like 10 games in a row in that month, who knows what happens. Maybe if former Yankees Graeme Lloyd and Jason Grimsley didn't blow so many games then KC finishes better (Pena isn't his catcher too.. granted, Grimsley was horrible with inherited runners) In games that Lloyd pitched, the Royals were 1-14. That says it all for the lefty "specialist". You can have Graeme back. Anyways, I'd say that the Twins and White Sox are going to take some losses in this offseason. Both Pohlad and Reinsdorf are huge cheapskates too. The Royals had to use massive amounts of players due to all sorts of injuries. Maybe the adjustment will be 'Immunity tablets' to prevent blisters (Affeldt), arm injuries (Snyder) and sinkers (Grimsley). Any idea if Gardenhire will be axed, or his team will be adjusted, since they failed and lost the ALDS in 4?

George Anglesaultbrenner, You would have fired Tony Pena for only winning 83 games, right? I'd say for a team that was projected to finish fourth, or even last in 2003, winning 83 games, being in first place for big chunks of the year and revitalizing baseball in KC is a damned good year. But.. since they didn't win it all.. I guess they gotta purge the team and start over.

Since every good manager takes their team to the playoffs. Jumping 21 games is NOTHING. Winning 83 in your first full year is nothing. "If I didn't give it to the guy, who, you know, lead the best team in the league" - reeeally.. well, you did say you'd give it to that Serial Killer Gardenhire, but you suggested the idea of giving it to Torre. Yeah.. they should have went all the way in the first full season for Pena. Damn them! Only winning 83 games. Winning 83 games in one year gets you fired from the job of Yankee manager. yeah.. we're really pissed at Tony for failing this year. We wish he'd stop failing and get us back to the Tony Muser days where the team won 65 games a year. Fucking Pena. Why not just give the 'Best Manager' award to the pennant winning manager, because all the other managers failed. Grady failed. Gardenhire failed (1 win? WTF? Loser!).

Fucking SI can't they devote a cover to LeBron or something? other SI covers 1/20/2003- http://i.cnn.net/si/si_online/covers/image.../0120_large.jpg 6/2/2003- http://i.cnn.net/si/si_online/covers/image.../0602_large.jpg (it took Clemens like 3 more tries to get 300 after that) 9/2/1996- http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_online.../1996/0902.html Fucking Steve Bono and..of course.. this http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/si_online.../1985/1028.html I think that between the time this came out and the 'published date', the Cardinals lost 3 out of 4 games and lost the world series. SI.. isn't there some Shaq/Kobe thing you can talk about?

Even then, they're not guaranteed to even go to the league championship, much less the world series. 83 wins after just 62 in 2002 is a damned good year. But, you hear the idiots out there claiming there was a 'choke'. Like the team that was 62-100 in 2002 was the one we all expected to win it all in 2003, but they let us down! (actually, the White Sox choked alot more than the Royals) Anyways, what makes Joe Torre more worthy of 'Manager of the Year' than Tony Pena? (this is for AS, since he is obviously pissy that Torre didn't win and Pena [who did nothing but lead KC to their first winning season since 1994] won) I bet the reason that Torre was the best was 'job pressure', 'New York prestige' or some crap like that. No idea if Torre could have managed the 2003 Royals to a better year than Pena, or if Pena would be a worse Yankee manager than Torre. MVP prediction: In the tradition of KC players topping Yankees, Beltran gets more votes than most, if not, all Yankees listed. ("Beltran didn't really do nothing, now Jorge Posada is clutch!") I preferred the "Ichiro got it, so why not Matsui?" talk.. considering that Ichiro only had an average over 60 points higher than Matsui's and all. But, I guess if Matsui had 240 hits and a .350 BA, he'd lose since EVERYBODY HATES THE YANKEES, THEY ALL WANT TO KILL THE YANKEES~~~~~!!!!!!1

yeah.. Pena only managed a team that won 21 more games than last year. A team that was in the race for their division as late as September (after 10 years of nothing) It's just nothing.. 62-100 to 83-79.. NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING It's pretty freaking hard to determine who's the manager of the best AL team when you file votes before the playoffs. You vote for the best manager, not the most successful. Man Anglesault, you've been unusually bitter towards the Kansas City Royals. Pena was an obvious selection for Manager of the Year. Berroa was the rookie of the year.

http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35550 before we go OMG PAT BUCHANAN~!.. let's think this through.. yeah.. in most likelyhood, Saudi Arabia is in a tough spot. Considering the possibility that they would elect extremists. this may be a bit drastic but.. it's nice to see that Buchanan isn't out of work or anything.

Granted.. I'd say Ichiro had a much much better year than Matsui. (And even Ichiro had somebody vote for somebody else to deny him all 28 first place votes) Lets compare the two.. Hits Ichiro- 242 Matsui- 179 Doubles Ichiro- 34 Matsui- 42 Homers- Ichiro- 8 Matsui- 16 Total bases- Ichiro- 316 Matsui- 271 Averages- Ichiro- .350/.381/.457 Matsui- .287/.353/.435 Fielding- Ichiro- 1 error in RF Matsui- 8 errors in Left and Center Field The facts are that Ichiro had a great rookie season and Matsui didn't. Matsui's BA was 63 points lower than Ichiro's. While Matsui probably had some CLUTCH~! RBIs and all.. his rookie year wasn't good enough. The odds are that Matsui's peak season was in 2002 in Japan. Damned aging and math.. they're biased against the Yankees!

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/nyy/news/nyy...t=.jsp&c_id=nya what about the two writers who didn't vote for Berroa? Fucking nimrod..

how was I supposed to treat a guarantee from the freaking Bengels? but.. since you think one post means 'constant'

I haven't constantly posted, much less posted to taunt anybody.

4 returns for TDs puts him up there for best of all time (the record for punt and kick returns is 4, I'd say that the total record is around 6) that's not good enough? sure.. it doesn't meet the standard of God McNair, but, that's not good enough?

what makes you think that McNair won't get hurt again this year? who's the backup in Nashville?
