Goodbye, Lucas May. We hardly knew ye.

Lucas May came to the Royals in the Scott Podsednik trade last summer. Today, he was traded to the Diamondbacks, for righty Andrea Pizziconi.

Random survey: How do you pronounce “Coupon?”

The show “Extreme Couponing” is MESMERIZING.

The ‘On Pace for 162 Homers’ Club: Day 2

This is exactly what it sounds like. I’ll keep doing this until nobody is on pace for 162 home runs. All of the guys from yesterday are gone already, but of course, anyone could re-enter the Club by homering twice tomorrow! JP Arencibia hit TWO today, plus a triple. Jose Bautista John Buck (Grand Slam, …
