Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Jimmy Gobble parts ways with KC

Awwww!

Boo. Gobble was my favorite non-Twins player in the division. 

Star-divide

 

He had the trifecta:

1) He doesn't play for the Bitch Sox. I hate them all, and it's not up for discussion.

this man is way more irritating than Jimmy Gobble

2) He really wasn't very good. I can respect Thome or Sizemore or whomever all I like, but can a player really be a "favorite" if he makes our squad lose 3-4 games a year?

3) His name. This is the most important thing. His freakin' name is Jimmy Gobble.

Seriously. Say it with me, and tell me it's not awesome. Jimmy Gobble.

Say it faster. Jimmygobble. Jimmagobble. Jimmagbble. Jmagble.

Jmagble, you'll be missed. Happy trails, sir.

don't worry, Jmagble. We still love you and your awesome name.

Even the Royals' blog at your link says

that Gobble was the pitcher the fans just happened to like.

Reminds me of Punto ’07 being forgiven while Rondell White ’07 was not forgiven (at least not in this house).

Maybe more like Boof

People liked to forgive him because of his awesome name… and that lingering potiential to be a good pitcher. Lets hope post-surgery boof doesn’t fall to the same fate as his brother in awesomenameness.

He could lose 100 pounds without losing any muscle.
