I ordered a custom number 50 Burgos shirt a few years back, I felt dumb when he was traded. Whenever 'Rompe' came on and i'd see Burgos trotting out i'd get so pumped in the stands, whether or not the Royals had a chance at winning. The height of my love of Burgy was a night in August 2006, the Royals were about to sweep Boston. A few Boston guys were heckling me, apparently I wasn't a real fan since the shirt I was wearing was the free one they handed out that night. Burgos faced the top of Boston's lineup, Coco bunted safely and it was looking scary. I still believed in Burgy's fastball. I was chanting something like, "I love you Burgy it's ok." killing them with kindness as they say. The three Boston guys continued being mean to me. A lady in the stands jumped to my defense, she implored the usher to do something about their behavior and yelled in their faces that they were being rude. Yada yada yada Burgy got an out on the 2 hitter, took care of Manny and Ortiz and we all went home happy. I found the Burgos stories last week oblivious to this posting. I'm happy I didn't opt for the Burgos jersey, he really is a bad guy. Now I love Banny. I loved Burgy. I ordered a custom number 50 Burgos shirt a few years back, I felt dumb when he was traded.

It is impossible not to be a Banny fan, but he simply is not very good and, while it violated the Starter for Reliever adage, I would trade the "fringy stuff, crafty" guy for the guy throwing 98 every single time. Its just unfortunate that this particular guy got hurt and turned out to be a one man crime wave. As a Mets fan, I was thrilled with the trade.

I remember being highly disappointed, and this was back in May of 2007, before all of his legal troubles. Ambiorix Burgos got the win when I went to see a game at Shea.
