....or Bob Davis describing every other batted ball as a "flare". As in, "And there's a little flare down the line in right!" "Teahen hits a little flare into the seats behind the dugout." "He flare's it into CF." etc. Man, I hate that guy..... How about a Rany interview with Bob describing how he has no qualifications for announcing baseball

2009-06-15T13:02:46.953-05:00

I think Bradley would be fun if only to listen to Ryan call all of his at-bats. It couldn't be any more uncomfortable than listening to Frank White explain for the 40,000th time about hitting the ball the opposite way.

Back in the hunt. I knew we weren't dead. We are in the race in spite of having had our cleanup hitter, starting third baseman, starting shortstop, semi-starting catcher, closer, and 3 setup guys on the DL at various times. We just need to stay in it until Gordon and Crisp come back.

2009-06-15T09:59:45.042-05:00

Oh no, we have now entered the sixth stage of being a Royals fan: Absurdity. Milton Bradley??!!? Really??!!? Why would anyone trade for the PuPu platter of jack-farts that they Royals have on their Major-League roster? If Meche and Greinke are untouchable, that leaves, ummm, thinking hard....NO ONE that any credible team would want. And yes, I know they just swept the Reds. WOO-HOO! If

Shelby,

The slide had nothing to do with Davies/Banny/Hochevar. Their struggles have to do with this teams inability to score any runs and situational hit. I think the better question is.....Are we finally seeing what this team is capable of offensively? If we start to hit like we did this weekend, make other teams pay for their mistakes (errors), and start to clutch hit....with

2009-06-14T22:19:24.489-05:00

So wait...what do we think?

The Royals just swept a team in contention. Granted, the team kind of sucks, and the Royals would probably be right there with the Reds were they in the same division.

But do we think they have a chance to climb back into contention in the AL Central?

I'm skeptical, but hell, I want it to happen.

What's funny is that

2009-06-13T23:21:00.583-05:00

The Royals need a fight song, me thinks. The Cubs have that "Hey Chicago" song after every home victory, I think we need something to get the fans jazzed up before every home game, which ideally would give the team something to feed off of. My recommendation is "The Royal We" by Silversun Pickups. Good lyrics, if you're a die-hard Royals fan, plus there's that cute

@Anonymous 3:42PM - Not "fear and loathing" but "fear and arrogance" as Crash Davis said or maybe "fear and ignorance" as Nuke Laloosh said.

We Royals fans may choose to be arrogant due to our stick-to-it iveness (lol) or ignorant due to the same. I mean, it takes a person of extreme patience and loyal character to put up with what we have had to put up

2009-06-13T15:42:49.733-05:00

All I know is I have used the term, "ass clowns" more in the last two weeks of watching the Royals than i have my entire life.

after seeing a ball tag a seagull all i could think was, "that mamed bird looks better than Jacobs with an 0-2 count."

After all this I think there needs to be one more stage, Fear and Loathing.

2009-06-13T15:20:11.371-05:00

We have 3 DH's already. Plus, if you think Guillen has an attitude problem, wait until you meet Bradley. That guy is a prick.

2009-06-13T13:29:53.279-05:00

we can swap guillen's 36 million (we've paid perhaps 15 million of it so far) for Bradley's 30 million.

Bradley is good for 120-130 games a year, and he GETS ON BASE. Takes walks, is a great hitter, etc. That's why AL teams have a DH, right?

So Ryan, you want to trade for a guy who threw a live ball into the stands?

True text, "I think that we are meant to suffer, because if the royals did win we would never know who the true fans are. Now, we can be certain who is a fan and who isn't and that conforts me." I sent this yesterday in what you have reffered to as the acceptance period that has taken over my life. But, to show how lame I am I still watched them blow that lead after the ace

2009-06-12T22:40:38.287-05:00

I don't know if anyone has seen Milton Bradley highlights tonight, but we could get that guy real cheap right since Chicago HATES him. He would become the best hitter on the team and we could cut Mike Jacobs. I know we would never cut Mike Jacobs, but let me pretend we would.

2009-06-12T18:21:36.036-05:00

My life as a Royals fan was summed up in about 15 seconds last night. I actually thought to myself "I'm glad that ball hit a seagull, so I didn't have to watch a 39 hopper to the plate".

Talk about sentences you never thought you'd say/think...even as a fan of this franchise.
