Well I watched the Royals to the bitter end. And I think they played much better after the All-Star break. We (and I say we because they are still my team) will be much better next year. The young kids showed they know how to play. After they got games under their belt the talent was apparent. The problem to be rectified during the off-season is bolstering their pitching. They won't win their division but I doubt they will lose 100 again next year.
