Mr. September

Oh boy, I've heard a few people get excited recently with the way the boys in blue are playing. Really? Seriously? Are the Cheifs that depressing? I'm so mad with this recent "surge" because I know that Moore is thinking to himself - "See Kansas City, I told you all that my friend Trey is the right guy for this team. I have no doubt in my mind". There was a pathetic interview with Gayvid DeJesus the other day where he was saying that we are just too good of a team to have a drop off in the middle 4 months. He said after our great April and this recent solid September he can't wrap his arms around the idea of how we struggled in the middle portion of the season. Let's not forget that we didn't just struggle in the middle portion, but we were far and away the worst team in baseball - even worse than the Nationals. So, these fluff articles make me irate. Nothing has changed about this team. Jacobs was a bust (I was way wrong on him), Davies killed our rotation, and Hillman/Moore's building/usage of the bullpen was laughable. We are far away from being a contender.

On a positive note, 3 of our minor league teams made their playoffs (I know its pathetic to even point this out, but I am). Moose and Hos took their team to the playoffs - with a lot of help from the great pitching on their squad. Moose ended up hitting 18 HR's with 86 RBI's, decent production. His numbers with guys on base were: .298/.340/.461. His numbers with RISP: .355/.397/.567. Smaller sample size, but hey at least he came through with guys on base. Yes, I'm reaching for anything right now.

The problem is boys (we'll get into this deeper in the off-season breakdown) is that there is no help on the way for 2010. Just want you want to hear, right? Our impact prospects are 2 years away. We may be able to get something out of Kila next year, and Bianchi is getting closer, but I don't see those two making a 2010 a year to remember.

Greinke - This dude better win the Cy Young award. I will be extremely livid and depressed if he doesn't win it. If I were him and I lost to Verlander, I'd consider painting the locker room with a 12 gauge. His teammates have seriously effed him harder than Peter North this season. It really makes me mad.

Looking forward to a nice finish so Kaegel and Dutton can fluff Trey Hillman going into the off-season. Those articles should induce vomiting. Cheers.
