You look at our rotation now, and I can start to think (or fool myself, anyway) that our pitching wont be horrible next year. It wont be great, but our starters are beginning to look sort of respectable.

Our offense is still going to be God-awful and we'll lose a lot of games due to that in 2011, but if I have to see a losing team, watching the Royals lose a quick game 4-1 or 5-2 while missing a couple chances to come back is easier than watching us lose 9-2 where we are just utterly blown out by the 3rd inning.
