When the stadium gets renovated completely, it will be a LOT easier to lure free agents here.

The future for the Royals looks better than the future of the Chiefs. As sad as that may seem.

FA's aren't going to give a shit about the stadium renovations when this has been a team thats been currently losing for the last 15 seasons or so.

Just a thought....

Not only that but recently we have always played well in the last month of the season and usually it doesn't carry over to the spring because we usually are out of the race by late May early June.

I can't believe people are actually excited. All we're doing right now is hurting draft position.

Winning too many games in September a year or two back cost us David Price....

Boy could you imagine being a Detroit fan today? Your football GM goes down in flames, and your baseball team can't even beat the Royals. Man...

Are you kidding? There will be celebration on the streets following Millen's dismissal.

Yeah, but that's a perverse kind of happy. Kind of like the planet will be when King Carl finally goes down.

Shealy has been playing well too

on the other hand guillen has pretty much worn out his welcome with a couple of years left.....

I am fine with Guillen.. I think we get another great player to come here and Guillens number jump up even higher..

Hopefully we add one or two more quality talent(pay for them on offense) and try and go after another #1 pitcher..

1st.................Shealy, Ka'aihue
2nd.................Healthy Grudz, because I dont know if anyone is out there for an upgrade without trading..
SS..................Aviles
3rd.................Gordon
C...................Olivio
DH.................Butler, Shealy
LF..................Guillen, Adam Dunn
CF..................Baby Dejesus
RF...................Adam Dunn, Guillen



AJ Burnett if he opts out..
Oliver Perez
Sabitha

Guillen is fine. I am glad we signed him. Maybe if we get some more sticks around him he can do even better. His attitude may be drama for KC but I can give a crap if he is giving me 20\100 every year.

Sure-Oz 09-24-2008 01:51 PM

Guillen will be a force if he gets protection, its also nice to see Gordon hitting again too

Do you think the servers will crash when this happens?

Callaspo has swung the bat well since he came back. I think he is a viable option at 2nd.

That pitcher you all had out there last night looked very good.

That's a complete myth...People love to say that we play well when it doesn't matter, but the facts prove them wrong.

Since 1995, we have had 2 winning Septembers. We have not won more than 13 games in the month of September since the 2000 season.

These are the Royals September records going back to the 1995 season. Number in parenthesis is games played in October, which I've included in the "September" records

1995: 12-18 (1)
1996: 13-11
1997: 12-16
1998: 8-16
1999: 13-16 (2)
2000: 15-14 (1)
2001: 11-16 (6)
2002: 7-19
2003: 13-15
2004: 12-19 (3)
2005: 13-18 (2)
2006: 13-14 (1)
2007: 9-19

Our total September record from 1995-2007 is: 151-211 which gives a winning percentage of .420 If you were to equate this to a 162 game season, our record would be 68-94 If anything, the Royals play pretty below average in the final month of the season.

I took way too much time on this :shake:

Yeah, and we will probably end up trading him for two turds in a punchbowl.
