Me too.

Why can't there be some limitation on Prison's posting ability? Make it so he/she/it can only post in DC threads.

So if the Royals eke into the WC by 1 game and lose at Baltimore and Shields blows out his arm and doesn't pitch next year while Myers becomes a perennial 30hr guy, we....won?

And conversely if we barely miss it but Shields wins 15 next year while Myers goes on to be mediocre at best, we still lost?

Just don't respond to the guy and maybe he'll get the point.

I was 11 when we won the World Series, and I didn't go anywhere. Maybe that says something about me. LOL

Either way, we do of course welcome you back and hope you enjoy the ride with us.

I've never wavered in my fandom, but I do admit that I was hoping we'd trade Santana. I'm glad I was wrong.

Just shows how much of a killer May was...if they had been just .500 in May (which would still have May as their worst month), they would be in first place, or not too far behind.

If the Royals have Myers on the team this year, I think they lose 85-90 games again, which would also be a loss.

I just happened to get in a baseball discussion on another forum I visit (a drummer's forum), and here's a comment I got from a Rays fan back in mid-May.

"You can thank my favorite team for James Shields. This is going to sound off, and it has nothing to do with how he's pitching right now, but I really wish the Rays would have traded David Price instead of James Shields.

I know they're completely different pitchers, but James is a great leader and really has a knack for creating a brotherhood amongst the pitching staff. He's also an innings eater. It's no wonder Tampa Bay's bullpen has been overused and under-performing. No one could have predicted David Price was going to slump so badly this year. Under contract through 2015 (arbitration eligible in '14 and '15), the Rays could have robbed someone's farm system. As for our end of the Shields/Davis/Johnson trade...it sounds like the Rays will have Will Myers finish his career in Durham. They're so slow to promote position players. All I hear is that "he's not ready"."

That shirt is pretty bad ass.

That dude is not smart.

Chalk me up. That's a sweet shirt.

Ditto. I hope that keeping him this year was worth it (it seems to have been so far), and it would be even better if Glass opens up the checkbook and keeps him around beyond this year.

Yes, though every now and then I enter into DC to see what muck is being slung around, so I don't want to just ignore every post by some people, just posts outside of DC.
Anyway, back to Royals!

His DC posts are as bad as his Lounge posts...and I'm a conservative.

The last time the Royals won 17 out of 20 games, George Brett went 3-3 with 3 walks to raise his average to .406 and beat Texas, back in 1980.

Holy Christmas. If it wasn't for May, they would be the greatest team of all time.

He has a 2.95 ERA.

Meant sub 3...my bad

Here's the 1985 team

April .579
May .519
June .462
July .630
Aug .556
Sep .600
Oct .667

Rangers release Manny Ramirez...

I would buy his jersey first day if the Royals brought him in.

ROFL

Hey Elusive, are sharing your stash with someone now? LMAO

They need 15 more orders before these become a reality.

Manny........**** it why not? He plays big in big situations. Maybe some of that magic can come back.

but....he can't do steroids anymore. Plus, the Rangers are contending and need a bat. If there was any chance he could still slug...he would be on their roster.

Manny's washed up and reeruned. No thanks. We don't need a brain dead bum in the clubhouse clamoring for playing time when he sucks.

Why can't he? Worst case scenario, he gets caught and retires again.

Nah. Worst case scenario, he becomes a cancer in the clubhouse.

I'll pass on him.

Manny doesnt become a cancer. Its just Manny being Manny. Everybody knows this.

Thing is, if royals don't go to the playoffs its kinda like that dvd by kstate after beating kansas, right? Cool shirt but i dont know if i want it 'hey we ALMOST got to the playoffs!"

Think of it like this. If they don't make the playoffs, surely they will eventually in franchise history. Youll have this awesome vintage Royals tee from 2013, celebrating making the playoffs in 2046.

LMAO solid point

Royals should consider signing Mark Reynolds incase of Moose being hurt. Of he can get on a tear it would be worth it. Release EJ.

How can you hate on someone with these baserunning skills?

I like this.

Hey, sorry, a Cardinals fan here. I just wanted to post a link to a newspaper article that a friend of mine wrote on the Royals (focusing on local fans). If you do happen to read it, let me know what you think.

Meh

Gotta finish this home stand strong. 7-3 would OK. 9-1 would have been awesome!

Or they could just promote Anthony Seratelli and have him play 3rd until Moose is healthy...

I 2nd this motion.

Sertelli is batting .303 against RHP which is what the current infielders (except Hos) are lacking. But, he has the same issue Colon has. Neither is on the 40 man roster.

That is a terrible excuse. Cut Getz and Carroll and you have 2 spots open

Carrol is batting over .300 against lefties. Sertelli is batting about .260 against lefties which is better than either Getz (who bats LH) and EJ who is a switch hitter. I'd get rid of EJ, play Sertelli at 3rd every day and platoon Getz and Carrol at 2nd.

This.

They'll probably wait until September call ups, and by that time it may be too late. This five game set coming up in Detroit could be make or break time. If we lose 4 of 5, we're cooked. If we win 4 of 5, we're still in it.

Dude. If we win 4 of 5 in Detroit then we are balls deep in it.

Here are the team schedules through Sunday.

Royals - 1 vs Miami, 5 at Detroit
Indians - 1 vs Minnesota, 3 at Oakland
Detroit - 1 at Chicago, 5 vs KC
Oakland - 2 vs Houston, 3 vs Cleveland
Tampa - 2 vs Seattle, 3 vs Toronto
Baltimore - 1 at Arizona, 3 at Colorado

This is were we we can make up some serious ground since we have more games than everyone else except Detroit.

Sucks that we also have the most injuries

We all want to win today and sweep Detroit.

But realistically, I'm hoping for a win today and 3 out of 5 from the Tigers. That would be, in my opinion, a great week and put us in a great position for a run.

#Royals acquire INF Emilio Bonifacio from Toronto for cash or PTBNL. INF Miguel Tejada to 60-day disabled list.

So Tejada's now done. Bummer.

We are the team of destiny so no worries. I fully expect us to be ahead of both Cleveland and Baltimore by Sunday night. And we will be nipping at the heals of Tampa with Oakland not much further ahead.

:mad:

The Bonifacioacation of the Royals continues.

So when Bonifacio arrives, either Moose goes to the DL or Johnson gets DFA'd. Please please please God in heaven be the latter.

Bonifacio now a Royal... I'm alright with this.

Switch hitting 2nd. Batting .161 vs LHP. Batting .235 vs RHP. Hopefully EJ will be gone to make room for him.

Need to never have two of these three in the line up, Johnson, Getz, Carol, or 600 ops dude we got from Toronto.

Seratelli is the answer.

I figured it was a response to Tejada going on the 60 day DL. But isn't Carrol here because he is on the 15 day DL? All these moves are getting confusing.

I don't know, but at least the Twins are up early on Cleveland.

Man, it really seems with the injuries the wheels are about to fall off this thing.

He can play 3B, SS and OF as well. Plus he has good speed, but no power.

Kauffman Stadium Scoreboard Promotes Tweet From "@mustacherides69"

Twins add to their lead, now up 4-0 and still batting in the 2nd.

Would be very Royals, as well.

Was anyone listening to Kietzmann a while ago when he was discussing Tejada? The teasers that were put out on Twitter make it look like he was using Adderall after his therapeutic use exemption expired.

He also insinuated that his injury may not be legit or is being intentionally overblown.

NM I see it was covered in the game thread. Hearsay, as I expected.

Welp, Ned said Moose's best case scenario is to PH on Saturday. I would say that means we shouldn't expect to seem him. So with him out, Carrol playing third, and Cain out, we are looking at a best case scenario to steal two games in the series.

I dont want to look through every page of the game thread, are there any more details? Something about him not wanting to disgrace the game?

You can never have enough guys in your lineup that can't hit but can run. :shake:

I can't believe we ever got rid of Derick Robinson.

I just cannot understand why the kids in Omaha continue to get shafted by the big club over some uninspiring broke dicks.....

We need a second baseman bad. I like Ryan Theriot who is currently a FA.
