Looking tough tonight... the impressive Kansas City Royals and Gil Meche are in town to face Matt Palmer and the Angels.
A reminder that this MONDAY, I will be the guest of Jeff Biggs on THE DRIVE radio program from 4 until 7 PM on AM-830.
During Thursday's game, I spied Tony Reagins in Arte's box, a first during a game. It was a one-on-one conversation. It took place at some point in the middle innings. I usually glance up there once or twice per game with my super binoculars. It is rare - QUITE RARE - to see the GM alone with Arte in the box during the game.
What were they discussing?

Gist of the conversation
Ninja: … and THAT’S why I didn’t make an offer to Ramirez
Arte: Well done, Tony!

Arte: “So let me get this straight, he was taking fertility meds?”
Tony: “Yes. Well, that’s not all they’re good for. Some people say you can get a stiffy from ’em.”
Arte: “…oh.”
Tony: “But some gusy, like Conseco, they use it to come down off of juicing. Takes the edge off.”
Arte: “And what about those 15 test he’s been talking about?”
Tony: “Well, he might’ve been using a wizzenater.”
Arte: “A what now?”
Tony: “Wizzenater. You stick em in your pants, fill em with clean wiz, and you release it when you need to.”
Arte: “… What they can’t do these days.”

Hey Arte, can we send Speier out to get some Del? I mean, the food here sucks.

More likely focused on return of Lackey, Santana, and Escobar...
…and what effect that will have on Palmer, Loux and Moseley.
Plus, how do we get Howie to be a bit more…selective?

TR: Arte, seriously, give her a call.
AM: I can’t man. I’m married. She’s married.
TR: We’re talking destiny here Arte. Powers of the Universe beyond us mere mortals and our rules. There’s a reason you saw that photo from that magical night so long ago. It was not an accident. The gods are speaking to you. You have to do this!
AM: But that was 25 years ago. She won’t even remember.
TR: Yes, she will. She does. I read her comments. You read her comments. She remembers. She still remembers.
AM: Tony, she said I was boring.
TR: Aw, Arte, man up here! She said her night was boring, not her date!! You know that you went into that gig as a favor. You know that you met your enchantress. You were spellbound. You have been spellbound ever since. She did not know, she does not know now. You ain’t that shy guy anymore, Arte! You rule! You got billions! You got your own baseball team! Vladimir Guerrero calls you Jefe!! You have NEVER been more ready for this moment. That is why, my friend, this is Kismet.
AM: You read the blog just like I did, Tony. I don’t even know her number. All I know is what she calls herself these days. Ladybug.
TR: Leave that to me, boss. I got connections. I can pretty much guarantee that if I get The Rev a press credential, he will get me her number. You wait right here…

As the camera pans out, a sly grin appears on AM's face...
…and a slightly altered version of a song from “the day” fills his ears…
“TR don’t lose that number…
you don’t want to call nobody else,
send it off in a letter to yourself…”

TR: "How about sticking with this retro theme"
AM: “Yeah, I can see it now. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, California.”
Hooters anyone?

That would be the Los Angeles California Angels of Anaheim

Something like this:
TR: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa… stop right there. Eatin’ a bitch out, and givin’ a bitch a foot massage ain’t even the same fuckin’ thing.
AM: It’s not. It’s the same ballpark.
TR: Ain’t no fuckin’ ballpark neither. Now look, maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but, you know, touchin’ his wife’s feet, and stickin’ your tongue in her Holiest of Holies, ain’t the same fuckin’ ballpark, it ain’t the same league, it ain’t even the same fuckin’ sport. Look, foot massages don’t mean shit.
AM: Have you ever given a foot massage?
TR: [scoffs] Don’t be tellin’ me about foot massages. I’m the foot fuckin’ master.
AM: Given a lot of ‘em?
TR: Shit yeah. I got my technique down and everything, I don’t be ticklin’ or nothin’.
AM: Would you give a guy a foot massage?
TR: F#! you.
AM: You give them a lot?
TR: F#$ you.
AM: You know, I’m getting kinda tired. I could use a foot massage myself.
TR: Man, you best back off, I’m gittin’ a little pissed here.
Whatever dude.

...about a year's worth of f-bombs in one comment...
…aay carumba!

Ha. Shhhhh!
I honestly didn’t see that…just copy and pasted and changed the names and changed what I thought were the only two F bombs.
Sorry!
Whatever dude.

There's some weird formatting going on there towards the end
It looks like someone pasted strips of white paper with monospaced words over what was there originally.

That was probably the foulest language. I figured Rev was using electronic Whiteout.

Heres what happened
TR: So Wood went 2-3 with a walk tonight in AAA.
AM: DAMN!
TR: I know….
AM: What are we going to do about this?
TR: Well apparently bringing him up here to have Mickey screw up his swing hasn’t worked out so well, neither has only having him start against pitchers making 25 million per year. I’m running out of ideas to keep him down Arte…….
AM: Nonsense, Mike says he’s just not slappy enough to make the big team. Can’t we just tell the fans that.
TR: I dunno…. I think most of them are smarter than that.
AM: #^@^#……. alright enough already, just trade him for a 28 year old AA reliever and be done with it.

AM: Way out west…
TR: Way out west…
AM: There’s a story that’s told.
TR:…Story that’s told.
AM: About a bunch of cowboys, tiny and bold.
TR: Tiny and bold.
AM: Riding tall.
TR: …Riding tall.
AM: Tall in the saddle. Herding cows the size of schnauzers, but they’re cattle.
AM and TR in unison: Yippe aye Yay Mini Sirloin Burgers!!
Whatever dude.

TR: So, you take the duct tape, the pogo stick, and the badger…
AM: The badger has to be rabid, right?
TR: Right, I almost forgot. It’s very important that the badger has rabies, otherwise what’s the point? So you take them and….

Probably talking about Weaver...
and how the hell they are going to re-sign him with Boras as his agent.

i think it went something like this....
TR: should we hire wallispdub1?
AM: for what????
TR: i dont know he just graduated college and from what i can tell he seems to be having a hard time finding a job!
AM: what could he do for us?
TR: I dont know probably more than "E"BAR!
AM: ZING!!!!!!
TR: and the kid is hilarious!!!!
AM: Give him a call- i heard he has some range in the infield, also that he tops out at 60 mph!
TR: ALL RIGHT!!!!!!!

Rev had a gut feeling about this sort of thing last year, a little before the trade deadline. Maybe he's onto something...

The Rev should learn to read lips
Then Arte will have to keep his hand over his mouth when talking, a la Joe Pesce in Casino.

Tony and Arte were discussing how Colgate luminous toothpaste would make the team better
if all players were instructed to brush their teeth with it before every match.

The scratch n' sniff feature would be particularly appealing to Juan Rivera.

On the ride home from work
The espn affiliate in hawaii was talking about an interview Arte did with a KC radio station AM610.
I checked to get a link but it seems to be broken at this time.
Heres the LINK to the station.
Will be checking back later on to see if is up and running.
