hey ryan, shut up you dumbass. "the white sox aren't paying adam dunn to take walks" (aka get on base) "he strikes out too much, his batting average is too low, he doesn't have enough rbi's"

adam dunn career ops: 860 career ops+: 124 

vs.

alex gordon career ops: 782 career ops+: 111

billy butler career ops: 813 career ops+: 119

The white sox certainly paid for an .860 career OPS, however Dunn has only put up a .734 OPS (98 OPS+) for them.

yeah, i get that. but ryan was talking about his career homers and rbi's. ryan was criticizing him in order to take a shot at sabermetrics lovers. "oh, walks are bad, they don't advance runner's yada yada, not enough rbi's blah blah blah."

ryan is a douche. he's so passive aggressive and snooty about new school thinking. that's my beef with him.

that and he's mean to rex  :curse:

I like Ryan's delivery, and it's funny when he PIs Hud from time to time, but his rigid old-school thinking regarding hitting is horrible.  Really like how Hud has been preaching patience even before the hitting coach change. He was towing the "aggressive" company line for awhile this season, but he's been total "wait for your pitch for awhile."

Also, Hud could easily kick the crap out of Ryan so that should count for something.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Hud is way more anti-advanced stats than Ryan FWIW.

This is hard to say, I'm very emotional, so I've put it in a press release below:

A few days ago, Dayton Moore contacted me about becoming full time mod of this thread. Many of our younger up and coming bloggers needed some direction, and he felt I was the man for the job. I agreed. My time as Royals thread mod has been the best time of my blogging life, I've never seen a thread become so vibrant and alive so quickly. That being said, I am sad to say I am stepping down as moderator of this blog within the blog effective immediately. The day to day pressures of modding were too much and were taking time away from my family, and I feel that I've taken the blog as far as I can. You guys have blown me away with your zeal and passion for the Royals. I know that we will continue to take this to a new level. I will still be here as a contributor, and to keep out PIPE and ERII and Dax, so don't worry, I won't be far.

You are the finest bloggers I've ever known, and I was proud to be your mod this week.

At least he understands patience.

I play softball on Mondays, and I'm ready missing tomorrow's game for the Ms. Lauryn Hill concert. (Mrs CF3's all time favorite artist) So I can't do Greinkecats game.

The day to day modding proved to be too much for me. Leaving my self appointed mod position was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I know this blog is in good hands. We will self mod by committee from here on

You need to make some serious sacrifices within your life or expect to deal with the wrath of gE.

have you guys read this pile of crap?

http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/48527/punchless-royals-can-hang-in-weak-central?ex_cid=espnapi_public

My god, he completely discredits the Royals by calling the Central a weak division. The Central has completely mumped up the AL East. What a joke.

is there a single person on ESPN's MLB staff that doesn't make you want to vomit a little bit? or at least give you the pre-vomit tingles kind of?

i guess i've kind of come around on Buster a little bit, but my god he's so serious and nerdy

Karl Ravech, so serious and canadian
John Kruk, fat lard of grease
Barry Larkin  :zzz:
Tim Kurkjian, even more serious
Jayson Stark, probably has a crow bar up his behind

if the tigers weren't in a tailspin, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to even write the article, cuz we'd still be like 8 games out.

will take is basically what i'm saying here.
