Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 25, 2004 Royals are dead this season, so they're basically building for next year. Remember their future ace Runelyvs(sp?) Hernandez went down with Tommy John last year and isn't expected back until next season. Teahen or Tehen(third base prospect they got from Oakland) is suppose to be extremely good which allows KC to move Joe Randa if a team is willing to actually bite. With the amount of young talent the Royals now possess and the money they saved this year which can go towards a FA or two in the off-season. I really think the Central will be a dog fight between them and Cleveland next season. Both Chicago and Minnesota are losing far too many players to FA this upcoming off-season.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2004 I'll go on the record and say this trade makes the Royals better, right now. John Buck is better than Alberto Castillo or Kelly Stinnett. Mike Wood is an upgrade over Chris George. I think those acquisitions make up for Beltran. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted June 25, 2004 evidently Frisbee Kim is only hitting 83MPH and hovering around 80 for the most part down wherever he's rehabbing. and Baltimore wants Ramiro Mendoza. I've no clue why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted June 25, 2004 Royals are dead this season, I tend to think that, especially in a division where no one is ridiculously good, 11 games out at the end of June isn't "dead" We both know that teams have come back from a greater defecit later in the season. I just absolutely despise the "play for next year" mentality when you're in the middle of the season. Who in the FUCK are these announcers on the WGN broadcast of the Cubs/White Sox game? I'm assuming they're the regular White Sox crew, but dear sweet Moses they are horrible. Have they screamed here come the good guys when the Sox come up and/or started making fun of Cub pitching yet?

Fuzzy Dunlop 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2004 Those announcers were pretty bad, but at least they weren't overly biased or knocking on The Cubs too much. The whole game they said we're one of the best teams they've faced this year, and they talked about how great Prior is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted June 25, 2004 the Sox announcers are ex-Sox front office guy and cornpone drunk Hawk Harrleson and ex-Sox scrub Darrin Jackson. They should be consumed for unintentional humor only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfaJack 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2004 Well, whoever the hell they are, they should be fired. When your idea of play-by-play is "Ball's hit.....split 'em, split 'em, split 'em....yes!....a double" you should never be allowed to broadcast a game again.

Ron Santo is the Harry Caray for the new generation. I never get to hear Santo, but there's no way he could possibly be worse than those guys. Ronnie is priceless. He's talking about Father's Day but then he goes and pronounces it wrong like he was torn between "Dad's" and "Father's" and went with the wrong A sound. He corrects himself awkwardly and goes on: "...I mean's FAH-ther's Day. It's interesting, the way Father's Day works. The thing is, you always hear about Mother's Day. Two months in advance and everyone's talking about Mother's Day! It's such a big thing. But then you get to June and it's Father's Day and nobody knows about it until it's--" Pat Hughes cuts in "Count is two and one" "--about it until it's too late! So I always try to drop some hints beforehand to make sure I get what I want, which is usually a tie or maybe--" "two and two, the count on Ramirez" "--a tie, or maybe a grill or stuff for the grill. The point I'm trying to make is this: both days are equally important for a family. I know my kids think so, which I apprec-" "that one goes to the right and it's an easy play to end the inning." "Which I appreciate, and now let's pause for station identification." The next rant was so indecipherable I'm not even going to try to transcribe it because I had no clue what the man was talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
