This team is an embarrassment. Seriously, Dayton Moore needs to just resign.

I keep getting e-mails telling me to hurry for the best seats for upcoming games and think wtf,I'm going to drive to KC pay for a ticket,parking and $8 beers to watch this shit.
If anyone from the Royals is reading or cares,we've got a group of college players here in St Joe called The Mustangs that are a helluva lot more enjoyable to watch and the food and beer prices are great too.

Its not that Buck and Olivo were world-beaters. It is the fact that our general manager had the opportunity to examine the statistical history of Buck, Olivo, and Kendall, then concluded that Kendall was his man, for a lot more money than what Buck would have cost.
Even though we're talking "bad vs average", it was a pretty clear example of his ability to evaluate talent, and he flunked that test. Barring good luck, this season is merely a verification of what everybody else in the room knew would happen.

From what I heard, Olivo wasn't real happy here. I kept hearing things that would lead me to believe he and Hillman didn't get along.

However, the difference in OPS this season between Buck and Kendall is, unsurprisingly, very large.

But Kendall calls a great game! Unlike Olivo, whose shitty game calling almost prevented the no-hitter that he caught earlier this year.
Wait... |

It's awesome how we sign guys like 7 years after their prime, surprised we didn't make a run at Griffey for CF.
