Red Sox go big bucks
-
@globaljaybird good, keep me posted! Thx!
-
@JayHawkFanToo I agree, he was great
-
And that’s what FA has done to pro sports. Big markets pick and choose from the top of the pile while small markets get the leftovers and hope they have somebody in the minors that can help.
-
@nwhawkfan Better Seattle than KC. One thing for sure, he will keep you on the edge of your seat when fly balls are hit in his direction. Rios and Paulo were far better in rf for KC.
-
@brooksmd and @globaljaybird here’s to u guys!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I’ll send you my address and you can send me a 6 pack for my b-day and for Christmas.
-
@brooksmd I would! When’s your bday? 29 again! Same as me.
-
@brooksmd and @globaljaybird
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Damn, the secrets out.
-
Here is an interesting link with an index for the top free agents and signing predictions…
-
@JayHawkFanToo Murphy a post-season hero for the Mets? He did a pretty good job for the Royals they should give him a honorary WS ring.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Overall they haven’t done too well with their predictions. They even have Gordo staying with the Royals and Zo going to the NYY’s.
-
Didn’t say they were good predictions …
-
@brooksmd It may not be as much moneyball as it is leadership at the top. Dayton Moore spoke in Lawrence at KU’s Dole Institute on Thursday evening. Like @Crimsonorblue22 says, stats can’t measure heart.

@brooksmd & @Crimsonorblue22 Will be absent from the game today-don’t get off till 4 pm so hold down the fort & maybe I can catch ya on the rebound…
-
@globaljaybird surprised u remembered that! Probably why I’m sick of this board!
-
@globaljaybird you better catch us! Brooks has been pretty busy too. Behave and b safe!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Cueto screwed himself again. D-Backs signed Greinke $200 million plus for 6 yrs. Doubt there’s enough left in the well to get Cueto now.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Often times I feel that way also…just sayin the lack of spontaneity & wit drags down the interest level sometimes. That’s why I enjoy game chats with you &@brooksmd so much I guess. Plus you guys are both as knowledgeable & practical as anyone who posts here. WTH did you think I’d forget what you said ?! have you no faith woman ?!
-
@brooksmd Some probably aren’t aware but Zack had a spell or two early in his career in KC when he just disappeared from the team for personal issues for periods of time & like when Moose had family issues this year, the team always kept silent about it. But after a couple of season where he was undependable, he became everything Moore had hoped & then some. Just think how great this team would be with him in the rotation? Wow that money Cueto turned down is just insane. Hope he can afford the prosthetics to replace the feet he just shot off, cause he’s NOWHERE the pitcher Zack is. That kid was absolutely phenomenal in KC & LA.

@globaljaybird @brooksmd
Dat speed! http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article48329900.html
-
@Crimsonorblue22 That’s where my father-in-law lived.
-
@brooksmd did you know that before? Pretty cool! Doing ok w/company?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 That Dyson was from there? No. And the street would be named “Dat What Speed Do”, not “That”.
-
@brooksmd dat right!!!
-
OK guys. this is the latest I’ve seen… Joakim Soria has signed a 3 yr contract to return to KC. Plus it is now being reported that KC has their sights set on Scott Kasmere of the Astros. The imminent Winter meetings will surely clear up much of the haze abounding. In addition, another piece of our bullpen is leaving to Oakland… Local news reported that a deal in principle has been reached between the Oakland A’s & Ryan Madsen. http://www.kmbc.com/sports/report-ryan-madson-signs-with-oakland/36825064
And lastly they say that Chris Young will sign a 2 year contract to stay with the Royals…Yeah !! http://www.kctv5.com/story/30683035/royals-begin-to-build-2016-roster…
-
@brooksmd These are the latest stories from the Winter meetings in Nashville, http://m.mlb.com/news/article/158916354/4-things-to-watch-for-at-winter-meetings but mine would be hangin out at the Legends Bar… http://legendscorner.com/legends_corner/home.php This place is so damn cool it even makes old guys experience the fountain of youth-live & in person one way or another !!
-
@globaljaybird jguts retiring?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I thought he shoulda gone after the Yanks nailed him for 3 HR’s & 11 runs in the 1st inning last summer…
-
@globaljaybird he’s a good guy and a great mentor. Just wondered what he was going to do.
-
Have not seen that on Royals website…he is a great guy. family man, missionary, etc., but that whoopin by the bombers was the wrong type of MLB record to have credited to your name.
-
So if dancing is your thing in Nashville, the Wildhorse Saloon is just a short walk from Legends Corner. However I’ve always preferred to make Legends my last stop… even at 10 in the morning LOL http://wildhorsesaloon.com/
Plus if your style is a little different, BB Kings Blues Bar is just down the street . http://www.bbkings.com/nashville/
IMO Nashville is one of the most fun downtowns in all of the US, especially during CMA week which is the 1st week of November.
-
@globaljaybird Just as long as Cueto keeps burning his bridges.
-
@globaljaybird Legends Corner, YEEHAW!!
-
@CaseyStern: Ned Yost #Royals skipper just told me that Chris Young is “The best competitor he has ever known.” Strong statement. #MLB @MLBNetworkRadio
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, the Royals offense wasn’t that good… until it mattered. Man, that was painful to read. Paraphrase: “Toyals found players who could smack line drives.” Well, shouldn’t other teams do this, too? If you can hit line drives, you can hit home runs, especially in the playoffs when the adrenaline is pumping. And that’s what they did. They hit quite a few home runs in the playoffs. I feel like my IQ went down after reading this.
-
@brooksmd @globaljaybird
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I have a lone blue floodlight on my house…LOL
-
@globaljaybird We have 6 recessed lights along the front of the house that we put alternated red and green bulbs in.
-
Is that your home?
-
@JayHawkFanToo I wish!
-
I asked because it looks a lot like mine except my entry is the full height and I don’t have all the Royals decorations…
-
@Crimsonorblue22 @globaljaybird Zo signed with Cubs, 4 yrs and $56 mil.
-
@brooksmd I heard!
-
And Frisco hot for Gordo. Frickin’ FA!!!
-
@brooksmd I heard that on the drive home on 610 radio…headin to your Cubbies. Good luck unless you’re playin KC !
-
@brooksmd Time marches on…damnit !! http://www.kctv5.com/story/30689147/royals-on-verge-of-losing-the-face-of-their-franchise
-
@globaljaybird Royals all the way. Even if, and it’s looking like it’ll be a huge, unlikely if, they played each other in the WS, I’d be royal blue true. But Dayton gonna have to pull some bunnies out of the hat for next year.
-
Is the perfect storm over for the Royals? How likely is it they can replace, not just the players, but the chemistry the team had?
-
@globaljaybird Baseball contracts are all guaranteed. That’s why the Yankees got in trouble during their fallout with A-Rod during his suspension because they were trying to not pay him.
