Do unto others as Big Donkeys would do unto you

Well, we sank a flat-bottom boat about midnight Saturday, after about 75 beers. We lost the trolling motor under water but somehow managed to rescue the boat and salvage the battery. It was a very wet experience. By the time we made it to the bank, we had ruined two cell phones and at least one perfectly good beer (in addition to losing the trolling motor). It was all Cousin Farkle's fault. The next morning we found the trolling motor submerged in about four feet of water and proceeded to run the lines.

Earlier in the day (Saturday), we listened to the Royals blow a big lead to the Yankees. Even after Guillen's slam, we figured the Yankees would come back.

Guillen and Dejesus are real Major League Baseball players. Wish we had a few more of them in the lineup.

Word on the street in KC is that Billy Butler is a spoiled jerk. This is coming from our brother, who should know.

Butler can be as cocky and spoiled as he wants if he actually starts hitting the ball like bonafide thumper. Dunking little singles over the second baseman's head isn't what Big Donkeys do.

Greinke gives up too many gopher balls.

What do you know about this high school pitcher we drafted in the fourth round last week? He wants first round money. Will the Royals actually give it to him?

P.S. Whoever stole our minnow traps at the Low Water Bridge is going to pay if we ever catch them.

P.P.S. The Royals just beat the Bronx Yankees of New York, thanks to another dinger by Guillen.

P.P.P.S. As it turns out, Jose Guillen is better than Emil Brown.

I think Olivo is a real major league player too. But it's sad that 2 out of 3 were off-season free agent signings.

If we keep that up we will field a complete team by 2011. But of course those 3 guy's contracts will be up by 2011 and we will be back at square one.

It's a vicious cycle.

Yeah -- you're right about Olivo. I should have mentioned him too.
