@Ralph Anyone notice that there is literally only one person with eyeglasses in that entire scrum? Blessed are the optically challenged, for they are more peaceful!

In general, KU’s post play (other than Landon’s last 3 games) has been a real sore subject within our program this year.

Serenity now!!!

And now we know how long Indefinite is. 1 loss.

@Ralph “That is not a CAT!!”. (Ross from Friends episode)

I do like Cliff’s chances for getting to the L one day. Rebounding and defending can always find a spot at the end of the bench.

@Ralph Omg! this is awesome! This is hilarious! Why do people have to knock it? Its Joel. If they were KU fans, they would know this is only JoJo being JoJo. He’s not doing this for the $$$.

@JayHawkFanToo Lmfao, I forgot about that totally! Poor Withey.

@kraken Lot of different scenarios. Obviously none of them are gone if we are in the playoff hunt at the deadline. But it is also unlikely Hos or Moose get moved at the deadline. Most teams don’t trade for a position player at the deadline unless it is a GLARING hole or an injury. So if anyone is going to move at the deadline it is Cain because he can play all 3 outfield spots. Hosmer. Won’t get traded at the deadline. Or at least I find it very unlikely. The Royals will be asking a lot in return for half a season of him. When we could keep him and get a compensation pick. Cain. I think he would be dealt immediately if we were out of it at the deadline. He is a plus defender at all 3 outfield spots so there are a ton of possible landing spots for a guy like him. I don’t think that we will resign him at the end of the season though unless it is like a 4 year 50M deal. He is an injury prone 32 year old. And we have guys locked up at LF and RF. So if he loses a step out in CF he isn’t worth it for us. Moose. He is here to stay. It would have to be the perfect fit for us to deal him at the deadline. A team NEEDS a 3B and we get 2-3 really good prospects in return. I doubt that happens though because he is a guy we can keep around who is a good clubhouse guy. Not to mention that we can move him to 1B for much cheaper than Hosmer and let Chesler take over 3B next season. Keeping Moose is a no brainer to me. Summary: Hosmer - Not gone at trade deadline but gone to free agency. Doubt he will be a Royal next season. Cain - Gone at trade deadline - stays if it is the right deal for both parties. 50/50 he is a Royal. Moose - Unlikely to be traded - Likely to be resigned. 85% a Royal. Other guys to look for with the trade deadline: Vargas Kennedy Hammel Pitchers are always the most likely to get dealt at the deadline. If we are out of it and any of these guys are having monster seasons than they are gone. Especially Kennedy. Royals want out of that contract.

@Crimsonorblue22 Like i said, Sprint has a great signal around the KC Metro area since they made sure their HQ town had great signal. Other areas, like with other providers can be hit or miss. You can go to the various web sites and they have maps of their areas of coverage including the high speed and the plain one as well. As I understand, 90% of the people are 90% of the time within 30 miles of their home, so if you have a good home signal, chances are you will be fine the great majority of the time. I travel a fair amount so I need to have decent coverage in the areas I travel more often, T-Mobile has been expanding it coverage and it is decent most everywhere I go unless I am in the middle of a lake bed in a large military reservation on the western part of the country. You have to find what works for you and where you are. YMMV.

Hope he succeeds.

@Crimsonorblue22 I made sure I had sarcasm marks…
