Royals as of 4/29 and 10:53 am
7-15 for .318
1 and 9 in their last 10
Cards finally above .500
12-11 for .522 (Small bears are at .545)
8 and 2 for their last 10
guardedly optimistic the St Louis Stooges will goof their way into contention by the All Star Break
Got a text from Mel saying he hopes the Royals get rained out so they can not lose today
Obviously, there is no joy in Royalville

Yep Boys in Blue won't lose today..
Several soon to be free agents on the Royals are costing themselves a whole lot of money so far..

So, we all have to do some things related to our jobs that we would rather not do. I recall watching episodes of "Dirty Jobs" with Mike Rowe and wondering how some people do some of those jobs.
Well, I have one of those situations Wednesday night. I have to be in KC for some bidness and it has been explained to me that we are going to the Royals game... Apparently, we're sitting in Craft & Draft seats or suite or whatever the heck it is. While I have over-indulged and been over-served some craft brews over the years, I never drink too much on bidness functions. This is going to pose a challenge. I have to endure a Royals game, with all the drinks I want, at my disposal and can only nurse 3 or 4 to get me through the night...
Wish me luck...

Well since you're in a suite don't turn the tv to the Blues game or you'll end up out of work.

I realize that the Royals have lost 9 in a row.....but you boys should take heart in the fact that in the last 10 you are 1-9.

OK,don't be highjackin' this thread ya nimrods.
OK, Royals suck thus far. Cards @ .500 can't feel much glory.
I am still watching and true fans do just that. Hell, we may be headed for a flameout, crash and burn season, but they're my team.

I think what you are failing to realize.............yes, the cardinals are at .500. We stunk it up early, but are playing as good as any team right now. We have a couple problems to work out, but the team is starting to hit and the starting pitching is there. We are also only ONE game
Out of 1st place, with a rainout game to play. I think the Cardinals are in the mix and it's early. Much like a Diesel engine, it's just taking them a little longer to get going.
The Royals on the other hand, have the worst record in baseball. The team is full of free agents and management sold out the team to win a title. I guess that's the difference between old money and new money. I thought New Money was around to stay?? Opening night was a big hit with the fans, then all 21-22,000 on average showed up. Let's see what happens come July with a dismal record. I bet it's closer to 13k a night. The bandwagon done flipped over.

Dude........they are only 3.5 games back in the Wild Card Race. Leave them alone. They won a Championship in 2015. New Money is still living that one up, although I do see less and less Royals gear on the streets these days. I guess they are putting that stuff away in a hope chest to break it out in 2055. They wore the newness off the 2015 Championship gear, so now they can safely store it away.

Royals swept 3 straight from the Orioles over the weekend.
The Bats are finally warming up sufficient to overcome inconsistent pitching.
BTW, they just finished winning 7 out of the last 8 games. Still in the cellar but if the trend continues, not for long!

Long way to go to get into contention.......but the Flubs did win the WS last year, so anything is possible.

True dat, dog.
Gorge Bonifacio hit the longest homer of this season in the majors Sunday, 470 ft. Never got higher than 55 ft. He's just up from Omaha. They ran out of balls with covers on them here ....

I don't like having to cover my balls either, but the wife says to wear pants anyway. Good to know Omaha has the same issue

The Royals are struggling as previously mentioned but there are a few signs team is coming to life with bats. After all, Gordon got a homer last night after 192 ABs. Problem is starting pitching is all shot to hell right now, and bull pen has started giving up big fly balls. I think if things are not greatly improved by all-star break we will see some players departing in a sell-off.
Had to chuckle over the ball covering response by Dog.

Vargas gets his 10th win. Best in MLB at the moment. Let's see how we do against the Red Sox and the Bluejays homepage stand.
7-2 roadtrip ain't shabby. Starting to see the offense light up!
