Royals KC Took over 4th place from Detroit Tigers - Page 5

One more win ensures NOT having a 90 loss season.

This month has been incredible for the Royales with Cheese. They are 15-7 so far with 4 games left.

Very impressive ending to the season, and one that will be encouraging for the organization moving forward!

Yay! Royals.

The Cardinals have deeper pockets than the Royals and have pared about $45 million off their payroll, mostly in ineffective players.

The Royals can bid all they want, the Cardinals have the resources to outbid them and a brand new stadium built under the auspices that it would make us a player for big-time FAs. Like I said, nobody has fit the club better than Furcal in a looooong time. If this wasn't precisely the reason the new stadium was built, nothing is and the fans were lied to.

They absolutely cannot allow the Royals to outbid them. The fans should revolt if they do.

What.. and burn the stadium down?

Well we play the twins next who will no doubt be at the top of their game trying to win the division. We could just as easily get knocked right back into last place.

God forbid the Royals sign somebody and the Cardinals dont.

No matter what anyone says, this organization took a big step forward this year.

We hit the 70 win barrier
We avoided 90 losses
We FINALLY developed a stud ace pitcher in Greinke

With Greinke and Meche, we have a great 1-2 punch that is up there with most teams in the league. If Gordon and/or Butler take a step forward next year and become the hitter they have the ability to be, we truly have the chance to reach 500 or beyond next year.

We still lack depth in the rotation and have some question marks in the lineup, but KC fans should be pretty satisfied with the results of this season.

Not just the Division, but the faves for the whole enchilada.

How insane would it be if David Glass doubled the payroll and we signed Sabathia?

Sure-Oz · 09-25-2008, 03:30 PM

I dont know about Sabathia, seems like he's an arm injury waiting to happen. Milwaukee pretty much pitched him 8 or 9 every game it seemed

Cubs and Blue Jays were both chasing Meche, Yankees were after Lilly to start with, he signed with the Cubs after the Yankees pulled out to re-sign Pettitte.

Meche is two years younger, too, and the Royals got a 5-year instead of 4 from him.

In an offseason where there were really only two pitchers available and the Yankees were pitching-poor (more than they realized, looking back) Lilly only got $8 million.

I'd rather have Sheets than Sabathia
