Royals took the sting off the Chiefs sucking in the late 70s and 80s. Maybe history can repeat.

I'm going all in again. OK... I pretty never DON'T go all in... but I like this team to be headed in the right direction finally really well.

I love the Shields, Davis, Santana, Guthrie signings. I love that our starting pitching may actually be good enough to make Hochevar the odd man out finally. I love Hosmers new kiss approach. I love Sal. I love Moose. I love Alex. I love Billy. Escobar. The vet presence of Tejada. Holland as closer. Good middle relief. There's a lot to love about this club.

Will it mean playoffs? I don't know. There are several clubs to jump. But finally we're putting together a real major league team. The efforts have been and are being made.

I'm so excited for baseball. Go Royals.

It's set at 78.5. Easy money.

i'll be in vegas next week (if this bout of the gout doesn't kill me, seriously).

i'd but money on that. how do i go about collecting if i win?

bet enough to make it worth your while to go back and collect it. LMAO

Booked.

Wait, what?

Apparently Getz launched a no-doubt bomb over the right field fence.

Your move, Gio.

Check the bat. Bet it's corked.

Apparently some pitcher accidentally hit Getz' bat really really hard....

Getz must have been hitting off of a tee where the infield and outfield meet.

Was he hitting from 2nd?

Thats Arizona for ya, I guess.

Getz has 2 HRs. In his ****ing ML career.

But luckily his glove is replacement level, so he plays.

I'm holding out hope that Christian Colon forces his way into the job this year. It's a slim hope, propped up by his late-season performance in Omaha and his RotY play in his winter league.

I don't expect him to be a star, and drafting him No. 4 overall just looks bad at this point. But I think he can give you more at 2B than Getz defensively (Better arm, more range) and if he can OPS .750, he can be a solid 7/8/9 hitter and positive contributor.
