I missed you by 15 minutes apparently. I forgot about the STL Library appearance until 3:30 and by the time I got there at 4 it was too late.

Any chance you’ll be coming to Boston any time soon?

My top two favorite quote are from movies that aren’t listed:

Roadhouse:
Sheriff: “Tinker, did you see what happened?”
Tinker: “A polar bear fell on me…”

Die Hard:
(after FBI chopper explodes)
Police Chief: “I guess we’re going to need more FBI guys”

Had to add this to take my mind off of the horrendous disappointment of the Betancourt trade. This simply proves that Dayton Moore et. al. have no idea how to evaluate any players other than pitchers.

fear not, royals fans: betancourt’s 63 obs+ , 2:1 k to bb rate, and nearly .300 obp is better than almost any ss you’ve ever had !

Ooh, I forgot “History of the World, Part 1.” Yeah, that belongs on there, too. Not nearly as high as “Fletch,” of course, but on there.

The Royals have reportedly acquired Yuniesky Betancourt from the Mariners.

Yes, this is bad news. Betancourt will be the latest in a long line of terrible, frustrating shortstops fielded by KC.

Some good news for Royals fans: Looks like Francoeur is off the market.

As a royals fan who has been willing to forgive the misques of past administrations and the mistakes of the current group, I am now wondering if I should drink drano or just shoot myself. I mean COULDNT WE DFA PENA WITHOUT TRADING FOR THE SECOND WORST SS IN THE GAME? and who knows, they will probably end up keeping pena anyways…

as far as the movies go, I know I am gonna get run for this, but I have seen The Big Lebowski several times and have not found it to even resemble a comedy. I guess its just my sense of humor, but I voted for Blazing Saddles and anchorman and nothing else, because my favorites like Dumb and Dumber and Office Space, not to mention Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore got left off, oh well, time to see if the royals are losing by ten in the third or something like that yet

I presonally would pick Princess Bride, and all the reasons have been stated well. Not on the list, but belonging there, frankly ahead of Blazing Saddles, is History of the World, Part I:
“It’s good to be the King”
“Piss boy!”
“Dont get saucy with me, Bernaise”
“Yes, no no no no no no Yes…”
“Profession? Standup Philosopher…Oh, a bullshit artist. Did you bullshit last week?”
“Boy, when you die at the Palace, you really die at the Palace”
“He’s a eunuch. He’s a eunuch. He’s dead.”
Bonus points for The Inquisition song…
