MattDoza Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bubba, there's no place like Nebraska. Just remember that... Quote Link to comment
GBR #1 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Bye Bye Bubba!!! Good luck in KC. It is time to bring some respect back to the City. Go Yankees!!! Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 If the Royals took him, I look for him to go the baseball route. Congrats to him, that is awesome. Hopefully they can land another big bat and an arm and they will be looking really good for the next few years. Quote Link to comment
The King Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 This could work. KC may feel obligated to still give him a chance because he is the hometown kid if his football career doesn't pan out, yeah? Wishful thinking... Quote Link to comment

Hercules Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I know the obvious thing would be that the Royals will offer Bubba the money wants, and Bubba will be comfortable so close to home... But really, who wants to play for the Royals? Talk about dooming yourself to a career of loserdom. Quote Link to comment

The King Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Playing for KC is like playing for Colorado; no one wants to do it unless they really have to. Quote Link to comment
NASA Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 It was fun while it lasted. Congrats Bubba, best wishes on a great career in the Majors. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Once the big three pitchers were taken(Garret Cole, Trevor Bauer and the kid from Virginia) this became a no brainer. Bubba watch was fun, but it is time to start closing the book. It is well publicized they were his favorite team growing up and the proximity doesn't hurt either. Think about it for his parents in the future Single A in Illinois, AA in NW Arkansas and AAA in Omaha. Not a lot of milage to see him. This really doesn't seem like an enigma to me. I would love to see Bubba don the Scarlet and Cream, and he has always said the right things, and potentially wants to play football at the next level, but I throw the % back to 94-6 that he goes baseball. We were fortunate to be in the position we are sitting in with one of the best pure stud athletes that many have seen in a very long time. Still holding out the slightest of hope, just not expecting the upset. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Well, good luck to the kid no matter what he decides. I can't see him passing up that opportunity because I wouldn't if I was in his shoes. Would love to see him wearing scarlet and cream on Saturday's, but I understand his decision when he makes it. Quote Link to comment
