Wow Cron-ie's looking really sharp today. I've got my Cron-o-meter ready for his first dinger this spring. In the thin AZ air it could maybe reach the Meteor Crater? Go Halos 2016.

AND his nearly mechanical manager style. Which all of MLB is hip to and is never surprised by. They ALL have his plug in playbook and react accordingly. Iron Mikey is usually the only one surprised at opponents' adept defense to his 'strategies'.

Soshie, iz that u?

No surprise as Royals Nation perimeters are the entire mid section of the US. I don't know how many, maybe thirty some odd states, give or take. They'll vote in maybe twenty-five or thirty KCR All-Stars every year the next five years. And they're mega organized and verily OWN the internet?

Yup. I'm not going to concern myself with the won lost record this season. I do expect it to be a big disappointment. But that said I'll happily watch the efforts of our super talents out there, Trout, Simmons, Kole, Garret Richards. Hopefully there'll be many other players bringing an A game in 2016?

KCRs. MLB's gold standard. We'll get a sniff at how far apart or near we stand against these skill players today. I'm liking what I'm catching so far with our 'G-Man'. Choi. And I'm liking our other G-Man's efforts thus far in the early early going, Giavotelli. Go Halos. Forever.

Course I was a little bit younger in that photo but hey yeah that's myself?? Almost a baby picture??

Hmmm. Yeah thanks S. Funny I've ALWAYS considered myself among the realist order. Of course I've often heard otherwise? By peanut galleries galore, etc. btw Peanut Galleries Galore was a famous Bond villain.

I'm saving myself up for later too. The problem is that my later is later than it thinks?

Now we are all aware that we acquired the magician for his smooth as silk D. But.... how far above el Mendoza line are we gonna be comfortable with? Say you? .205, .225, .240, .275? I believe I read that the wizard expects to jab at about .280 in his first go-round in the junior circuit? Maybe he will maybe not? The very last magic man to come to town was Ervin Magic Johnson and he brought along considerable offense with his D? But again if the newest magi languishes closer to .205 or .225 are you still good with it all? And if he's struggling the year long where does Iron Mike bat him? 7, 8, 9? Where would you? Our throwers are all supposedly giddy at his mere presence out there? He's like having a chain link fence extending from second to third. A ball tapped anywhere in his sweet zone is a nearly as possible automatic out? For the next 5 years. I believe he'll have a fairly normal period of adjustment in this new league? I think he'll hit his .280. But maybe it's next year for that? I'm seeing him hit nearer .250? With crazy magical D.

I'm sorry for your loss. And I was just joking with you. You're long term here and I'm the new guy. Could we just back up a tad and start better? Again, apologies to you and no offense intended. Also in most cases I really like your cool videos etc. you post. They're awesome and hilarious. ---Red_Planet

Your wife said it's an open bar at your place. I've already invited the whole crew. And not to worry, mate. We'll only stay til maybe dawn or thereabouts. It's all good.

And sometimes we as a species bash our brains at the same equations until someone who maybe approaches the problem from a slightly different angle, finds the solution? How scary is it when an entire fan base is smarter than ownership?

Wow, you might be scary smart? Are you on anybody's watch list? Not to be too paranoid? And not that anyone can be too paranoid???

Wow. Don't you pick up any tab? I'm played out. Nah. I'm good. btw my fave on the rocks is a Trout or Pujols or Cron shot rocketing off the Disney make believe rocks past the outfield fence. Always a very sweet and beautiful sight.

You buyin'?

When this occurs it is a mental metaphor(k) in the road, yellow or otherwise? Can result in one's head exploding? In old Russia you get solely ONE choice and like it? Or back to the gulag with you? But nothin' beats a summer in Siberia like the Beach Boys little tune? Crank 'er up.

Our club may get to 40/40. 40 jacks from Trout. 40 wins for 2016.

Had some wild wandering ideas that one might enjoy an afternoon with you and your brother and your culinary choices in some coffee dive? But on second thought realized you two might get me in trouble? Don't think that the waitress didn't see what your bro was up to? No doubt this is similar to how Senor Moreno scopes out the ongoing language about him on message boards etc. It's ALWAYS about him.

Very much enjoyed meandering around on a little sojourn with you and your family. Reminds me of when I go to a Costco store and may enjoy myself wandering the huge and wide aisles. All sort of curious and odd matters for sale often in mega proportions as if we buyers were all supposed to be supersized? I've made mistakes in purchasing some of same only to have it collect and fester in some far cupboard or the garage? I'm wondering if the outdoor advertising salesman our Arte, shops this same way in his free agent selections and worrisome trade pacts?

Or Oz? Both groovy places to while an afternoon? Or whatever?

I metaphor(k) in the road in Angel-land

"Oz didn't give nothin' to the Tin Man, that he didn't, didn't already have".

Actually this post is most specifically concerning the current campaign but you may bundle it to include everything under the current Halo Regime? Are you in the whole merry regarding the whole general state of affairs? Or not? Fiercely not? Aggressively not? Do ya just merely swim with the school like a good li'l fishy squishie? Hey bud it's eff'n all chummy n great. Even if thee is part of the chum bein' scattered to ye olde waters? Youch. Speak. Or squeak.

Some executive decisions need to be made for the greater good. We need Trout uninjured and fresher for the long long season. Running Trout all over the lot all the long season is harder on Trout and ultimately harder on the team. Kole and Trouty are both powerful big body type players. Someone lighter and thinner is a better option to patrol CF. Trout has not yet won a gold glove. There are reasons why not. He'll win one in LF, Kole another GG in right.
