Chatted with Ryan Lefebvre at a party yesterday afternoon... and he's pretty optimistic. The pitching staff is pretty solid.

We just need to get off to a good start.

Come to play bitches! Excited for the season and for tomorrow. I'll be listening to the first couple of innings while finishing up at work and driving home, then I'll join in on this thread.

88-74

85-77

IN!

87 games

131-31

That's what I'm going with.

Got done reading the Star's royals section in the paper while on the shitter awhile ago, it was like reading a ****ing eulogy. At first it was a little humorous, than it just got depressing.

A lot of the Royals futility makes sense now.

In for 91 wins!

Let's go Royals!

84-78

Miss wildcard by 4 games.
