Eric, I couldn't have said it better myself. Bad baseball, not a power team, not fast, not good defensively, not good at the little things, pretty much a Grienke away from....I'm glad they got the last 4 Meche starts instead of DLing him and getting him right. That's thinking long term, not..

Don't worry, Chance, no dilemna --- the Royals are not good. As a matter of fact, they're a Zack Greinke away from being a woefully bad, bottom of the division team. Might be there soon, even with Zack. Their brand of baseball is HORRIBLE. The baserunning is terrible. The fielding is pathetic. The hitting pretty much sucks. The bullpen...well, Sidney Ponson and Horacio Ramirez are

As I have said many times here, I am a Detroit Tigers fan living in KC for the past 17 years. I root for the Royals, because, well, for so many years both teams sucked and it was like being at the bar at closing time, choosing between the fat girl and the drunk psycho with the yellow teeth and vomit on her halter top. Either way, you are going to be disappointed at the end of the encounter.

I'm a die-hard Royals fan living in Boston (for 12 years now), and I have to ask...have you ever been to Fenway? The fans there are fantastic...they show up early and stay until the end and they have a record "480+ and still

Having been at the Harvey game in 2003 and the game Tuesday night, I have to give the Harvey game a slight edge in the "fan pandemonium" category.

2009-05-21T08:43:14.795-05:00

The point about Olivo taking the first pitch was made all the more poignant with Teahen's approach last night in the ninth inning.

Wood has walked three of the four batters he faced, and the only one he hadn't walked was Butler who had flied out on a 2-0 pitch.

If there ever were a time to take a strike, this might well have been the time.

You have to tip your cap

Kougar...God, that's just a stupid name. It was blasted by the write-in public on Ball Star, and it's off to a blasting here (so far). The name sucks, so please - LET. IT. GO.

I'm sorry, I had to get that off my chest. As for the 9th last night, I will sheepishly raise my hand to Rany's question regarding who among us thought that Jacobs always seems to hit meaningless bombs in the 9th

Apologies for a new topic.

I am a boomer, who came of age in the late sixties. We generated the Free Speech movement, feminism and equal rights, among other revolutions. I am proud of that. Justice triumphed over repression.

But revolutions have unintended consequences. The brawl at the K earlier this week manifests the flip side of the revolution, our loss of

Lots and lots of just plain bad baseball tonight. Dropped balls, missed cutoffs, dropped balls, poorly executed rundowns, dropped balls, horrible relief pitching, dropped balls, Sidney Ponson, dropped balls, Jamey Wright and dropped balls. Yuck!

2009-05-20T19:59:26.125-05:00

In regards to attendance - last night was a T-Shirt Tuesdays, which are always an extra draw. But it wasn't the t-shirts that made everyone stay until the end - I think the team can take full credit for giving the fans enough hope to make it worth it to stay through the 9th, even when we're down 5-2.

I don't know, jello. You ask me a question that starts "which Royal do you want up when ...." and almost all of them finish with the answer Billy Butler.

The ship has sailed on Kougar, fellas, whether you like it or not. Whining about it now just makes you look like Norm Coleman or Grandpa Simpson.

Beautiful. I love that there was a sizeable crowd still there to get excited when it all came together. If that was Fenway? Crickets chirping.
Say what you will about Jacobs and his ill-timed homeruns, few get as excited as he does when the Royals rally. Dig that spirit. How the hell he keeps the chaw in his mouth is beyond me.

2009-05-20T15:47:12.388-05:00

I think (and thought last night as soon as I figured out who was up) that this is the perfect situation for the Spork. Going through the roster, I can't think of anybody else I would want at the plate in that situation. I does not justify giving him 400 at bats over the course of the season, but, I kneew he was going to get that runner in.
