Did Yost finally send Gordo to omaha permanently or is he faking another groin injury?

Remember when we said we weren't going to be as bad as 04, 05, 06?

Yeah, forget that...

I said we'd be atrocious, and was ridiculed.

You also said it was stupid to sell the farm to go to back to back world series and to actually win one, so.....

He's just faking an injury. Sending him to Omaha would be the right roster move, but we won't do that.

I thought the Cueto deal was a bad deal, and I was absolutely correct.  With or without him we would have made the WS.

The royals are 0-12 when opponents score a run stat is ridiculous.

I also said the Hammel, Moss and Esky signings were bad, and everyone got butthurt. I also said we should trade Duffy for prospects (bc we could get lots of them given his good contract), and that set off a crap storm.

Again, I was absolutely and unquestionably correct on each occasion.

:dubious: You have no idea if that's factual or not. He shut down the 'stros in Game 5 and threw a gem in the World Series.

The odds of winning that world series would have still been very good without Cueto. You really can't say we still would have won, but we probably would have.

Baseball is the most "What if" sport and it all starts with the pitcher. The pitcher has #1 control of each game and he threw 2 of the best playoff performances in Royals history. Hindsight doesn't work here.

I think the biggest variable is "what if" Cueto was traded to one of the teams we faced in the playoffs instead of us? Otherwise, it's an AL team and you can assume run support stays constant.

Again, two of the best pitching performances in Royals postseason history. I think i'll stick with the trade. Especially for the scrubs we traded him away for. They're doing nothing right now. They suck.

The Cueto trade is the litmus test for Royals tuck fans.

Ok, good.  :cheers: My take was they were trying to be edgy and stuff, but whatever. They're dumb.

You did the same thing to me ("sell the farm to win the ws"), so I find your criticisms disingenuous

Cueto had almost a 5 era in his dozen or so starts for the royals, compadre.

Nice oversight of the two most important postseason starts in Royals postseason history, shithead.

FSD's argument is Cueto sucked in meaningless reg season games, and not that he was absolute nails in the postseason  :lol:

I think he may be my dumbass neighbor
