Play Ball would have at least made sense

I'd prefer if the Royals went without a slogan, I like to think that our highlighting the official and unofficial slogans on top of this thread is a little protest against having team slogans for silly marketing reasons, but thats just me.

"Not Our Time" is a better marketing slogan....

As of 2 years ago, 16 of them did.

There's no rhyme or reason to it, old ancient franchises, and new expansion teams, winners and losers, have used team slogans or not used team slogans.

I wish the Royals would stop, even though a slight majority do.

2013: "What else is there to do in KC?"

1 hit outing

@goldbergkc

Very cool to watch standing ovation in Mexico as Luis Mendoza departs after 7.1IP. Replaced by former Royal Dennis Reyes.

If I have read things right, it seems we are looking at Mendoza at long relief right now correct? He will get a shot I guess for the 5th spot but at this moment the Royals have him in the pen. Of course there is always injures or players not playing up to ability... so there is a good chance he will see starts this season. Just kind of sad that right now the main two names fighting out for the 5th spot is Hochevar and Chen but I'm sure we are waiting for someone like Duffy to come back later in the season to replace. Lets just hope somehow both Davis and Hochevar perform at the #4 and #5 spots.

Oh geez. I clicked "first unread" and it was The Miz' theme song and I guess I thought I had clicked into the wrasslin thread.

I won't delete the post. My shame is public.

Sorry for the confusion. I just thought the lyrics were so fitting.

Any of you sluts going to Surprise in March?

He'd be the only lefty in the rotation.

I couldn't care less about that as a starter....

You start a guy that is unproductive because he's lefty over a guy that's productive and a righty? That's absurd.

Edit: And on par for this organization.
