We're one game out of last. So, looks like the cellar before June 1st.

Perez and Cain have caught Hosmer's "pussy-itis"

The reality is that this starting pitching, while very good, wasn't going to be able to hold teams to 3 or fewer runs consistently throughout the year. And, this lineup, while we feared they would have some power issues, is so much worse than we ever expected. Add those two together and you have a 90 loss season staring you in the face.

I am willing to bet that this O isn't THIS bad. Hosmer hit one oppo yesterday that was crushed. He is going to get some punch going. Of course Salvy is going to make a difference when he gets back.

He's hungover.

No team can live up to that. The worst team in the AL will average close to 4 runs per game. The Royals have 3 black holes (Franceour, Getz, Moustakas) in the lineup and others who are below average as well.

The lowest R/G last year was 3.82. Best was 4.99.
The lowest R/G this year is 3.61. Best was 5.41.

Royals are currently at 4.06.

The funniest part of the Brett interview was when he was like "You could ask Moose, Butler, whoever is playing 2nd if they are having a good year and they would tell you 'no'."

Stole this from RoyalPug at Royals Review:

Exhibit A against Moore isn't just Frenchy

It’s the entire position of right field. Moore’s two signings, Guillen and Francoeur have combined to give the Royals more than $70 million in NEGATIVE value over 6 years.

To put that in perspective, that completely cancels out Alex Gordon’s entire career.

We are 4-17 in the last 21 games. Wow.

Right, that was my point. We were working on borrowed time, especially with an offense like this.

I wasn't disagreeing, just using your post and expanding on it. The hitters are losers.

Every year, without fail.

We are awesome at crushing fastballs in the desert air from non roster invitees.

I just canceled my MLB.TV...

my message:

I'm a Royals fan. They suck. So please cancel my MLB.TV subscription as I'm done with this pathetic franchise this year, until they trick me again next year with false hope.

I'm going tonight. I'm up under cover so I don't think I'll get rained on. But I might get pissed on by 20,000 drunken Cardinal fans. Wish these pricks in blue could win just one frickin' game that matters to their fans. That would be a refreshing change.
