The Royals’ parting of ways with Frank White* was ugly. Nearly two months later, we still do not know exactly what happened, and we may never know (although I would totally ghost-write a Frank White tell-all if he’s looking for someone). *and Kevin Shank! We must not forget Kevin Shank. What we do know is …

The Royals Caravan stop in Omaha’s Kroc Center
I didn’t count how many people were at the Kroc Center in Omaha tonight for the Royals Caravan. I do know that the large parking lot was quite full well in advance of the event’s start, which put my car waaay at the back of the lot. Tonight we had the company of Alex Gordon, …

The latest roster changes: In Pictures
Why? Because PICTURES! Your September callups: Farewell to Kila, who was DFA’d to make roster space for Herrera. No way he comes back to the organization at this point – much more on him later, because there’s this thought that he “gave up” after his last demotion and I really want to look into that. …

Two More Years of Frenchy….sigh.
When the inevitable happened last winter, I wrote: Let’s take consolation in a few things: 1) This was not a trade; we did not lose any prospects. 2) It is one year. 3) More specifically, it is for 2011, which was going to be an ugly season anyway. The first bullet point still applies, which …

Frenchy an All Star? No thanks.
Because this site accidentally turned into a 24/7 Jeff Francoeur site last winter, I think it’s only appropriate that I contribute to the Royals’ campaign for him to be an All Star this summer. Some people say that you can use numbers to say anything. I’m trying to make the numbers say that Jeff Francoeur …

Duffy callup a huge acceleration of the Process
I called my dad yesterday to let him know I had arrived safely at the home of my host family in California. Kyle Davies had come out of the game, but Vin Mazzaro hadn’t yet made history with the worst pitching performance ever. Dad asked me who I thought would come up to replace Davies, …

Celebrating a better Royals youth movement
I grew up with the crappy Royals, which means I’m a fan with no “good old days” to reflect warmly on, and my Royals teams have been the butt of baseball jokes for as long as I’ve been alive. In that time, there have been a number of “youth movements.” They were all disappointing, to …

The Y’Know Meter: Day 3
People on Twitter have been making fun of Royals players who say “Y’know” for as long as people have been talking about the Royals on Twitter. This season, I’ll be keeping track of the player interviews on the Royals postgame show on FSKC so we can see quantifiably who the King of Y’Know really is. …
