i gues i am missing the whole missouri, missouri thing. so car go is ok with 1/2 years of mlb experience, banks same and bourbon no? i guess in my mind the consistency is- 1 is doing poorly and 2 are doing ok- but none of them should by on anyones team that is looking for missouri, missouri. maybe it is more of " i just liked the guy". that i will buy. the missouri, misouri- not so much.

Missouri/Missouri is a bitch sometimes. You can go into a draft thinking Missouri/Missouri, but something else pulls at you.

If needing speed, I would have probably been Borboned. Some times the need for speed or other category overrides what we truly feel is the wrong thing to do. I was lucky it didn't happen to me.

Blanks and Gonzalez, I didn't Missouri/Missouri them. I feel they both have the skills necessary to bloom this year. Heck, Blanks was well on his way last year before getting hurt.

This year there were more non Missouri/Missouri players on my list than in the past. Hanson, Blanks, Gonzalez, Wieters, McCutchen,and Brett Anderson.

Jayson Heyward, 'The Jay Hey Kid', sorry, love the nickname, was Missouri/Missouri for me. I wish, now, that he wasn't.

Its hard to be a Missouri theory purist.

Unless I am dreaming I see a hit, stolen base and run scored by Borbon in his first at-bat. Borbon owners everywhere can take a step back from the edge of the cliff....

It's revenge of the "Crusty Dusty's!" (credit GG) At first I thought the same re:

Jose Guillen told the Kansas City Star Thursday that he "almost died" last year due to blood clots in both of his legs.

"I had to stay in St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City for 20 days (in the offseason) just lying in bed," said the outfielder. "My legs were so big, so swollen up. They were purple. I couldn’t even walk on them. I couldn’t feel my legs." Guillen obviously survived the experience and is off to a hot start this season, batting .361 with five homers and nine RBI through nine games. The blood clot scenario may partially explain the .242/.314/.367 line that he posted in '09."

Never underestimate the post "I almost died" newly found work ethic. If he goes on to have a career year...I credit this.

Another awful day for Borbon. 0 BBs and 3 hits in 34 PA. He's destined to be optioned out to AAA by the end of the month.

Gekko · Post by **Gekko** » Sat Apr 17, 2010 8:08 am

he's getting a bit unlucky in that a few hits aren't dropping. patience.

Well since you don't watch any games here is some numbers for you 3-36, (1) run scored, being lifted for pinch hitters with runners on base. If you watched the game, which I don't blame you BORBONED is compleyely lost at the plate. I have been BORBONED
