Where do the Royals go from here?
Bullpen- The bullpen is a question mark for most teams and the Royals aren't any different. It's ok though, we have Dayton Moore and he can build a bullpen using play-dough. Soria could bring in a lot of talent and I firmly believe another closer can be found somewhere. The question is wheth...

The 100 Greatest Royals of All-Time - #31 Lou Piniella
Piniella not only made the Royals opening day roster, but he was the first batter in franchise history, doubling in his first at-bat with the club. The left-fielder would go 4-5 in the Royals inaugural game with a walk, run and RBI, and would win the hearts of Royals fans with his hard-nosed p...

Go Read Rany's Post
The Royals & Astros didn't exactly push baseball forward this weekend, though the Royals did go 2-1 in sloppily played one-run games. The day to day outcomes of this team have been irrelevant for nearly a month however, and as I type here, I get the feeling that everyone could use a break...

Download: Game 68 Open Thread - Cardinals (38-31) at Royals (29-38)
Royals try to salvage a game. Today's pitching matchup is Wainwright v. Meche. Other than the big difference in HRs allowed, Meche and Wainwright have been highly similar, at least in aggregate this season.

Impotent Offense Dooms Royals, Wastes Nice Work by Ponson
Last night, due to a poor outing by Hiram Davies, the offensive ineptitude mattered little. Today however, it was a killer, as the Royals saw their already modest record in close games deprove. And so, the Royals still sit on only one win in games not started by the MGD Trio.

Secrets of the AL Central VII - What is Ron Gardenhire Doing?
Cleveland: .276/.343/.407 (.749)Chicago: .270/.311/.391 (.703)KANSAS CITY: .233/.281/.285 (.566) Amazingly, that .566 OPS by #9 Royals in 2008 was not the worst in the AL. Somehow, the Orioles were worse, ending up with a .220/.257/.297 line. Frankly, I'm astounded that a full lineup slot averaged a .28...

The 100 Greatest Royals of All-Time - #35 Dick Drago
The 1968 Tigers were World Champs with a loaded pitching staff, so there wasn't much room for the kid from Toledo. The Tigers exposed Drago in the 1969 Expansion Draft. The Kansas City Royals, looking for young talent under General Manager Cedric Tallis, selected him as the 31st player.

Justin Huber and Dick Kaegel Are Still Talking
In Huber's view, Australia's interest in baseball may have flagged recently. There's a new rival in what's called "Twenty20 cricket," a souped-up version of cricket that is played in about 2 1/2 hours instead of days. He's hoping Major League Baseball will support the reformation of an Au...
