I turned in my resume to potentially take a job with the Royals as the annoying dick on the jumbotron who interviews people and gives out seat upgrades and stuff. I think I have a shot at it, since I've been the host/MC/Play by Play guy for the KC roller derby team for the past eight years. But, I only found out about the opening a day before applications were due, so I may have been too late. Still, they seem to switch people on that job every year or two, so maybe I'm just planting a seed this year.

To be honest, I'd rather be the stadium announcer. But I figure it'd be a good way to get a foot in the door, then swear to them that if the regular PA guy ever wants a day off, I can cover it.

Huh, I think every stadium I have been to has had local radio or tv people do that. Cool, good luck!!

The wacky in-game MC, or the PA Announcer? Yeah, the PA guy that has been on the job forever here is like a local voiceover staple on a ton of radio commercials. To be honest, though, I'm trying break in to that, too. The crazy MC person we last had is a local stage actor.

I'd guess it's someone older because there were less relievers so less competition for the award. So that rules out Rivera or Hoffman. I'll go with Quis because he was on some decent teams and the award is based off who has the most saves and sutter was on the braves so he probably got like one save chance the entire time.

I do wonder, though, if part of Quisenberry's career might have preceded the award? I'm not positive when either started, but I'm sure they were both in the 70's.

Jesus, how many uniforms do we have now?

Home whites, road greys, blues, reds, and alternate throwback.

Wasn't that long ago that we only had whites and greys. I think the (hideous) red first came in 2006, right?

there is also the occasional 80s throwback uniform day as well.

The Jays had some random nobody doing it for a few years but they got rid of him.

Thank god.

bizarre, Brewers reached a one year deal with KRod thus avoiding arb. Did not think that was possible.

HOLY SHIT, it's only worth $8 million! Doug Melvin for President!

No shit! So now the Brewers have a much more reasonable $9 million in their 8th and 9th guys. Still a lot but not as absurd as I thought it would look. It also gives me hope that KRod is going to be a good dude til the trading deadline. I have to assume that was the thinking here. Take a small cut to make him more attractive at the trade deadline, when he can work out a long term deal with a team under duress.

He should have taken the guaranteed money.

He's going to get a nice contract regardless. Well, good for the Brewers..

Look at the closer contracts this year though, it killed a lot of his value. If he went to arb, he might well have gotten less than $8. Maybe more, but not $14 million for sure.

I'll say A) Trevor Hoffman, since Mo was more consistent over a longer period of time, but Hoffman had some extremely dominant years with some injuries.

Wow, that's some good news. Doug is doing a pretty good job right now with the cards he's being dealt, imo.

The Aoki sign/no-sign is happening today I think, also.

I almost said B, but I'm locking in A as my final answer.

Awesome.

I've always liked Counsell.

Are the Brewers done at this point? Or since K-Rod signed a little below market value, do they have enough for one more move?

Melvin just said they are close with Aoki. They have what, two hours to get that done?

How the hell did K-Rod agree to something that low? Is there something else in that offering?

I also love Counsell. He's a class act. 2001 NLCS MVP!
