All Royals All The Time!

After consultation with others who peruse the game threads we decided to create this as a repository for all things Royals. Minor league news, AL (ahem) Central (thanks Vonne) news and anything Royals can be found here.

alnorth will continue the game threads as usual. But if you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

If a big story breaks, you can still start a thread about it. There is merely an all inclusive thread that will make a easy for us all to keep up with all things Royals.

Welcome! "Grab a Brew... don't cost nuthin"...[spills beer on feet]

So Hernandez gets the call?

http://kansascity.royals.mlb.com/new...t=.jsp&c_id=kc

The Royals selected the contract of infielder Luis Hernandez from Triple-A Omaha to fill the roster spot.

"He's got the most time of the guys we have available logged at short at this point in time at this level," Hillman said. "He's hitting pretty good. My understanding is he's been playing well. He gives us another switch-hitter, which never hurts. He has a little bit of experience."

Hernandez spent the last two seasons in the Baltimore organization. He played 66 games in the big leagues with the Orioles from 2007-08.

Hernandez was a non-roster invitee at Spring Training. He was batting .292 (21-for-72) with 13 RBIs in 20 games for Omaha.

BTW, can anybody describe to me Soria's E in the 9th? WTF happened there?

**BigMeatballDave** · 05-03-2009, 07:49 PM

I'm getting excited about this team, but I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop...

Weakly hit ball back to the pitcher, so Soria he had to hurry. Throw was to the home side, thus taking Butler into the runner. Wasn't able to make the catch.

I know how you feel, but I think our rotation is pretty good. We've yet to lose more than 2.

All you negative Nancys need to get the flip out. Let's keep this thread positive. P-O-S-I-T-I-V-E.

tk13 · 05-03-2009, 07:55 PM

Willie Bloomquist for president.

We're a well-trained bunch.

But we're straight with Meche and Greinke. Does anyone really think the latter is going to lose tomorrow night? I sure don't.

i, for one, do not doubt the power of the SI cover curse

Brandon Inge hit his 8th HR today for Tigers and get a look at Justin Verlander's line today:

7 innings pitched, 2 hits, 1 earned run, 2 BB and .... 11 K's in a 3-1 win over the Indians.

Cliff Lee lost again. Only gave up 3 runs but the Tigers lit him up for 12 hits.

WilliamTheIrish · 05-03-2009, 08:07 PM

+ or -, it's all welcome. I feel like Saul. But I think all AL Central teams are in the same boat. For further evidence, reference the near disaster to J. Dye last night.

They lose him and I don't see anybody available to pick up the slack.

WilliamTheIrish · 05-03-2009, 08:09 PM

CHISOX down 4-0 in the 6th to the Rangers. Danks get the hook with 1 out and runners at 1st and 3rd.

Hey but on the bright side; Soria wasn't hung with an earned run!
