I am completely with you on this one however...the Royals are certainly lacking that one guy in the lineup that other teams fear. Teams don't fear Jose Guillen or Mike Jacobs, though both players could be helped greatly by a big-bopper between them in the order. <br />At this point, I'm having a hard time thinking about Alex Gordon returning to replace Mark Teahen at third. Teahen is playing great at the hot corner and just earned offensive player of the month for the team. I'll make a post about potential trade bait in the next few days.Levi "Tug" Paytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311564584751551570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096019985917199010.post-87814447695407114402009-05-16T00:13:00.000-05:002009-05-16T00:13:00.000-05:00But that is not a gripe but questions.

I know its early in the season, but who do you think will be available to us via trade? Who do we trade? Who would to sit? I know Gordon is coming back, but do you really feel he is the answer? I don't...I love for him to be but...show me.cinco8https://www.blogger.com/profile/13203571866827307272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096019985917199010.post-72358051085070595402009-05-15T12:03:00.000-05:002009-05-15T12:03:00.000-05:00Mark, I took down one of your golden stars for bri...Mark, I took down one of your golden stars for bringing the light beer last time. You're right, it won't happen again.<br />As for Butler, I'm sure Bobby Valentine can set him up with one of those fake mustache disguises. Maybe he could get a Manny wig and slap some chops on there too. <br />Oh, and I'd like to compare some of those new cuss words to mine. Ya know, see if we can start a new trend here at everythingroyals.Levi "Tug" Paytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311564584751551570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096019985917199010.post-13507621044227219092009-05-14T23:33:00.000-05:002009-05-14T23:33:00.000-05:00Anyone who wants to dump the Royals now, during th...Anyone who wants to dump the Royals now, during this admittedly nasty skid, is showing a complete lack of character and should not be allowed at our secret fan meetings (sorry I brought light beer last time, Tug. Won't happen again.)<br />It IS frustrating as hell, no doubt about it. I've broken a few things around the house and I'm inventing new cuss words all the time. Such a low followed by such a lingering high. We've got to end it immediately, before it turns into one of those epic slides like we've seen in recent years.<br />Bugging me: Mark Teahan. His moments of greatness are getting farther apart all the time. He hits just enough to get us to stop thinking about his long droughts. I mean, this dude can be a real rally killer. Two double plays tonight?<br />Willie Bloomquist. Why is he on the bench more often than not? His bat was hot. Singles, singles, singles and then a few of those extra base hits he was never supposed to get. Give Aviles a sit and get Bloomquist out there.<br />Billy Butler: why can't he bat two, even three times in the lineup? He could bat say, third, fifth and ninth. Get him a fake mustache or something.<br />But now, of course, I'm ranting.Mark LaFlammehttp://www.marklaflamme.comnoreply@blogger.com
