[USML Announce] With Curt Hurt, Will Nukes Go Schilling For More Pitching? .:.

[Brad Jansen]

Mark, I would never diss you or your FAAB purchases, and I expect you'll
make plenty more this week on the rest of the KC bullpen.  As for me, I'm
heartened by Buddy Bell's words of support for Burgos and expect that he
will have opportunities to redeem himself later this season. I can be
patient with the lad, as will the Royals.  My road to a  USML championship
is longer than yours and I can speak on Jeffery's behalf when I say that the
experts pick you to win again this year (especially when we can finalize
that Dessens-Thome deal,,,,).
Respectfully,
Brad The Beaten
