Over the last 36 games that season he went 4-8 if you ignore the TWO 12 GAME LOSING STREAKS. I’m still appalled someone gave Grover another job after Baltimore.

I am sure. The bids are sealed and go to MLB (Selig). The highest bidder is then given the opportunity to negotiate. Yup. I am sure. The bids are sealed and go to MLB (Selig).

No team knows what the other is bidding.</i> You sure about that? Japanese baseball is an even smaller club than MLB. And the M's owner is friendly with pretty much all of them. I'm just saying... BTW, all this kremlinology over the M's front office -- complete with minute parsings of opaque comments, panic over 2nd or 3rd-hand reports, and wild speculation unsupported by any facts -- was rather amusing immediately after firings. It's getting a bit tedious by now... particularly since we don't actually know anything more now than we did then, and pretty much everything of any value was posted in the first few hours, so it's all become just a hall of hysterical mirrors. I am also very curious as to who wins the Daisuke sweepstakes if he gets posted. No team knows what the other is bidding.

I am assuming Felix won't be doing much. How about Morrow and some of the other pitchers we drafted this year? Will they be playing or is the organization going to limit their arm usage? Dave,

Even the people in KC, starved as they are for real baseball, know what to avoid. 8,839 people at that game, the lowest home crowd for the Royals all season.

Torn, because I love baseball and it is an escape from my real job (submarines suck) but I really want this season to end so I can see what unfolds. This really has to be an off-season of change. I am also very curious as to who wins the Daisuke sweepstakes if he gets posted. No team knows what the other is bidding. You know Steinbrenner will throw his cash around.

Can you imagine what it would do for Grover's standing if the team were to go an an end of year tear, and reach 500 (no, i am not imbibing anything that makes me think there is any chance that will happen). In contrast, what if they suck it up so badly that Grover gets his 90 losses in a row?? Ah but there IS reason to root for the M’s to lose.
