Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

and Helton?

[And we'll just put a happy little bush over here.]

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

Yeah, Todd "the Silverback" Helton as well.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

The Rockies would never trade the Toddfather.

and thankfully Cargo and Tulo both signed 7 year contracts during the off-season. Ubaldo has said that he always wants to be a Rockie, but I guess the management just saw an opportunity to get some good minor leaguers. Most people are saying the Indians got the bad end of this deal but I guess we'll have to see. People were pissed when Holliday got traded, but we got Street, a fairly consistent closer, and Carlos Gonzales a huge part of our batting. Hopefully this deal ends up being similar.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

Oh man, I remember the Holliday trade.... I love Street and CarGo, but I really loved Holliday.

I am just happy that I got to see Ubaldo win at Yankees Stadium. I talked my partner into it, and if the Rockies play the Red Sox while we are living here, we will head up to Fenway to see the game.

With the recent trade, word has it that the other old man will be traded.

Tell me about it. I'm a Royals fan. *sigh*

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

In NJ? I figured Royals fans were isolated from mid-Missouri to mid-Kansas.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

I got a ball autographed by the Royals when I was a kid. It was pretty sweet.

YES! Rox finally win again.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

Grew up in Odessa, MO. Small town about 30 minutes outside KC on I-70. Hence, I'm a total Royals and Chiefs fan. It's a tortured, small-market life, but it's who I am.

I love KC. I miss the BBQ and Boulevard beer especially. Hard to get good BBQ out here on the East Coast. You're out there for work, right?

Nice. I had a number of those growing up. When your team is terrible, they give away free crap to kids all the time. Makes for a cheap MLB game though, which is especially nice given how nice Kaufman stadium is. Buck Nights (dollar hot dogs, peanuts, and drinks) are the best.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

There is so much tasty, tasty food that I miss from that region of the world. What's a guy gotta do to get some biscuits with white gravy?

It was an autographed ball from genuine ball players. I knew nothing of the team. It was not until a number of years later that I realized that they were terrible. Weren't they playing some pretty good ball to start the season?

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

Yeah that Phillies series was rough. I just want to at least finish over 500. Like Jim Tracy said, it's all about short term goals at this point. Get to 500, work towards second place (perhaps over the Giants? proabbly not but the D-backs are doing pretty good).

We've always done good against the Nats at coors field so I predict we'll win, and maybe even sweep this series. I'm looking forward to another Sweeptember and Rocktober at 20th and Blake like 07. Oh those were the days.

Re: Traversing's Sports Talk Radio

Well, it is the Nats.... I would like to see the Rox play spoiler. I do not have much hope, but I love them. There is so much talent on that team. We just need pitchers....again...before Tulo and CarGo retire....

You have clearly never been to Tennessee, Georgia or the Carolinas. Top notch BBQ there as well.

And Boulevard Wheat is amazing.

And yes, work brought me to the midwest.
