So what do you think?  Is Palanco enough to move the needle and get them back in the playoffs?

...I don't know what's up with Royals fans.  The Royals made moves for some spare parts, like depth, relievers, platoon guys and fans are actually acting like the front office is doing good work.  That's amazing to me that a fan base would be that generous.  We did spend money though because we paid a lot to keep one of our breakout guys from last year, 3rd basemen Mikael Garcia with the team.  The guy is good enough defensively to not only play 3rd but he can play shortstop as well (if Bobby Witt ever needs a day off or rehab, god forbid, but just point out how talented Garcia is defensively).  He's still young so it's possible he can get even better.  And last year he hit around .300 the whole year with some pop and also speed.   The other exciting thing about the Royals is our depth of starting pitching.  We suffered injuries to nearly the entire starting 5 rotation (besides the stud Michael Wacha) and yet the Royals still had solid options to start every game of the season that made every game competitive.  There was rumors we might trade some of our starting pitching like there is interest in Bubic and Cole Ragans, but I don't care either way, cause I know how vital depth of starting pitching is, so it's cool with me to keep extra arms, or cool to me if we trade them and get an offensive boost that we need.

At the end of the day it comes down to our BUST JAC CAGLIONE.  The guy is a freaking bust and he better not ruin our playoff chances this season like he did last season!

Polanco is a nice add but we're still a long way from a playoff contender...a couple of starters would help our chances however...our lineup with Soto and Lindor is pretty solid but top heavy, another bat and the 2 pitchers would make us a playoff team

as for the Royals I would expect a bounce back from my guy Seth Lugo and with the injured starters coming back the rotation is more than solid...Caglione has to hit though, it cant be just Witt with no protection around him...kind of like we need someone hitting behind Soto

edit-I forgot about Salvador Perez, Id take 30 and 100 from a 35 year old any day of the week...Hall of Famer

dude got tossed in the comments

Everybody disses Warren G and forgets 1994. 

But I know HighEyeCue was old enough to remember that that dude was #1 in 1994.  Snoop didn't put anything out in 1994, he was just chilling in the cut until they dropped Murder was the Case at the end of the year.  But summer and fall Warren G was #1 in the Midwest and West Coast.

He was so big that year that his album became one of those bus ride to school kind of conversations it was so big.  People were imitating the "Hoe Draft" and people that didn't even listen to rap were claiming they were fans of Warren G and the album.

the world was his in 94

I’m not sure if I buy that.  Because people believe in a lot of crazy shit.  Just look at all the crazy shit our old homie Lights 💡 believed in.  Nobody got angry or red in the face and shouting we found it amusing. 

 I had a friend that was a very normal guy like the most normal guy you’d ever meet.  But he’d mention in conversations he believed in ghosts and his only evidence was he had like some picture of a window to a building on a dark night and some faded image and he’d be like “I know it sounds crazy but what the fuck is that.”

And we did think it was crazy and nonsensical—but nobody at the table got all angry and red in the face and started shouting at him we actually found it interesting that this totally normal guy Mark had this whacked out theory.

to these cats, believing in ghosts is far less far fetched than flat earth

to them it sounds like if someone came and said "cars drive because you put water in the tank!" .. that's how sure they are that the earth is round .. so if someone vehemently tried to convince you cars drive off of water, you're either guna laugh at them or get mad at them trying to insult your intelligence. and that's how they feel when u tell them the earth is flat.

LOL

What about Warren G living in the past on G Funk Era?   That was a platinum classic and also the golden age and height of his career... yet listen to the albums content it's mostly reflection and "livin in the past"

LOL

Bro the stories Ive got from the forums all the way from dpg to now are insane. People dont believe some of this shit and I have to find recipts on my old hard drive.

Its still FUCK ENYCA aka Tray deeee gate keeper. 
Tanner got his dick sucked by a dude at the casino if I remember right. 🤣 what up tanner! I know you out there!

Yeah and I got receipts on how when Sikotic was dissing Sccit you were dissing Sccit.  Then once Sikotic and others was cool with Sccit, well now you his best friend.  You a follower, sheep, and probably wore a mask everyday from 2020-22.

I don't see any change either
