Let me tell you a secret – are you ready for this? [whispering] The Royals, you see, aren’t very good at shortstop. Sorry, should I have warned you to sit down for that shocking news? As a group, Royals shortstops are batting .208/.244/.271, which is an incredible amount of garbage. Dead last in the league, …

The lovely wife of Omaha (!) reliever Disco Hayes told me earlier this evening that she ran into Tug Hulett in the team hotel, and Hulett said he was on his way up to join the Big club. I haven’t seen this anywhere else yet (although I have been away from the computer watching some …

Why I hate life tonight

It’s 3:00 in the morning, and the humiliating sting of tonight’s loss hasn’t subsided in the slightest. It wasn’t just any loss. It was one worthy of inclusion in the All-Time Royals Hall of Shame, which would need a building the size of Kauffman Stadium to include everything. I tried laughing about the absurdity of …

Ho-Ram being DFA’d is surprisingly correct

After deciding that getting out of bed at 9:00 this morning wasn’t going to work for me (oh, what a hard life!) I took an extended nap. And when I woke up a second time, my phone was full of various Tweets about the Royals designating Horacio Ramirez for assignment. This was absolutely the correct …

On Thursday, Disco Hayes gave up an earned run* for the first time in over a month, so his ERA is a hideous 0.76. Come on man, that’s weak. Oh, wait. It’s actually better by leaps and bounds than…well, I don’t need to beat this dead horse again. Friday night, he blogged about donuts. It’s …

Greinke was wrong, and why the ‘W’ is a dumb stat

Categories:

After the last 6-game losing streak, Zack Greinke told reporters that this team is way too good to lose more than six in a row. Color me shocked here, but he was wrong. The Royals lost their 7th straight, and Greinke is the last hope to keep the streak from reaching eight games tomorrow, then …
