Comments on Rany on the Royals: Day Trip!

Ugh, Rany. We need to figure out how to snap this negative jinx you seem to have acquired this season. I feel bad for you. But, at least it should make for a humorous post in a time when Royals fans need a little something to smile about. Someone within this organization better figure out what to do, and do it quickly, because things could get much more ugly in a hurry.

I wish we could say this was your fault. But you weren't at last night's game. Or Friday night's game. Or the Detroit series...

Rany, you might be more powerful than the SI cover jinx. Poor Zack doesn't know what hit him. J/K.

But at least it would seem Zack goes down as the best pitcher in baseball history after 11 starts?

Ahhh Rany, you had to go didnt you?

It's time for Rany to start rooting for the rest of the AL Central.

If only the Royals problems were so simple.

2009-05-31T17:54:14.876-05:00

At this writing, we have Buck, Aviles, Gordon, Soria, Tejeda, and Wachter all on the DL. Crisp is injured and day to day. Really tough to win under those circumstances. Bloomquist and Maier as your 1 and 2 hitters? The sad part is that Hillman doesn't really have any better options. Although with those guys out and an off day tomorrow, I think it's pretty foolish to pick today to give

I blame you, Rany.

2009-05-31T16:19:31.729-05:00

I can't BELIEVE how much this team has regressed since the 6-game win streak ended (and the 6-game losing streak began). Especially the bullpen... what the HELL!?

I love you as much as anyone Rany but I hereby forbid you to be within 50 miles of a Greinke start from here on out. If you live within 50 miles of the Cell when he pitches there later in the year, you must spend the day at a location farther out of the city. I'm sorry, but I must demand this.

At this writing Zack has given up 4 earned runs in 5 innings. PLEASE LEAVE THE 'K' IMMEDIATELY RANY! I am thinking about calling stadium security and having them find you for an emergency boil lancing back in Chicago!

2009-05-31T12:03:31.437-05:00

It's about time for GMDM to blow it up and try something different. Not much at AAA, and a short list of tradable talent in KC, so his work is cut out for him. Maybe put Frank or Jamie in the dugout?

Looking forward to what you think of the new K.

In other words, I'm getting extremely scared. I've all but given up hope.

2009-05-31T10:27:01.363-05:00

We have looked worse than every team we've played in the last 7 or so series.

Not just looked like we were playing worse, but we have actually looked like a poorer team. Our play has been ass-ugly.

We need some people to start stepping up (i'm looking at Butler, Guillen, Davies, Meche, Aviles) or this season will be over before June 15th.

2009-05-31T10:07:11.453-05:00

The most amazing part of this exhibition of putrid baseball the last several weeks is that there have been only one or two games that Soria would have been a factor. The Royals have demonstrated the irrelevance of the closer role: 1-- get behind due to mediocre starting pitching, don't hit, and then have a lousy bullpen finish the job; 2-- get a win once in a while by having a safe lead or come

2009-05-31T00:05:04.122-05:00

Ha, I was at that Texas game. Before I clicked I bet myself that would be the link. We wanted to see Ryan vs. Sabes and got a lot more than we bargained for. Stayed til the end with about 2500 other die-hards.

2009-05-30T23:56:10.757-05:00

You know, it is tough to succeed when you are missing two of your top five or so players. We had little margin for error, and that which we had was going quickly when Alex got hurt.

I think the team just has a swagger about them when we have Soria in the pen knowing that a lead equals a win. We have that swagger when Greinke is going, mainly because he is his own closer.

In addition to the usual Greinke tidbits, please make sure to fill us in on your opinion of the revamped K now that you'll get to experience it in person.
