P-p-p-poker face

Jose Lima was part of one of the most enjoyable summers the Royals have put together in recent memory and even though it faded in the end it was fun while it lasted. According to Sam Mellinger's salute to Lima Time in a typical Lima effort to keep the clubhouse loose and fun he organized Texas Hold ’Em games, which I'm willing to bet Lima dominated, and leads to the PBR's send-off to the man who seemingly pitched with his best poker face on all summer long trying to bluff the Royals into a division title. Here is a look at what type of poker players we have on the current roster:

Brian Bannister - He's the pitcher who probably most reminds you of Lima, in that he gets it done with less than most pitchers have. This is also probably how he plays poker, through a combination of a good poker face and knowing when to pick his spots he can win hands with less than great cards.

Jose Guillen - Probably the worst poker player on the team; you know he whines and pouts when things aren't going his way, but by God if he ever wins you will hear about it. Also the type of guy who shows you his hand when he wins a bluff and brags about it for days, but in general always loses his money.

Jason Kendall - Another bad poker player, but he's the type who will always tell you what you did wrong and always thinks that he knows what you've got but then folds.

Willie Bloomquist - Good sport, never wins and doesn't see the need for the use of such bad language at the table.

Tejada & Betancourt - They're still learning the rules.

Mike Aviles - Wins a lot of big hands, he's the guy that always hits flushes and full houses on the river and you are left wondering how your Aces and Kings got beat.

Billy Butler - Never quite has the big hands but always plays his pair. He's the Guy that with three people in and an Ace, a Queen and a Jack on the table he'll still play that pair of Tens. Kendall always tells Billy his mistakes but Billy doesn't listen.

Kyle Farnsworth - Is he still on the team?

Gil Meche - He used to be a good poker player but one night he played too late lost all of his money and just hasn't been the same since.

Zach Grienke - He just wins, he's probably memorized every hand combination possible and watched over 2000 hours of World Series of Poker tapes. His favorite movie is Rounders.

Alex Gordon - No room at the table for him, so he and Kila have their own game up in Omaha and take money off poor league minimum minors.

Getz and Posednik: Their skills do not translate into poker and they always run out of money really FAST because they think that pairs of Twos and Threes play.

Help round-out the roster and give us your thoughts on the rest of the team at the poker table. And thanks to Lima Time for giving the Royals a bright spot in a lot of bad memories for our team.
