Meche is the only true All-Star on the roster at this point. |

Gil has easilyh been our #1, if he had a decent run support he'd have 6-9 wins easy

I heard Mike (overpaid) Sweeney was voted to the All-Star DL list yesterday...

Anyone else think it's funny both teams takes 11 pitchers to the All-Star game? Baseball's All-Star game is a joke. Every team sends a player? Come on, that's bush league. What are they going to have no-cut teams next? Any one with a fragile ego can play?

IMO, Gil is making Dayton Moore look really smart right now. He's exceeded the value of his contract (relatively speaking) so far.

You don't think it's lame that every team gets to send a player, regardless of merit? I think that alone makes the All-Star game a feel-good joke. |

I take it you have not watch baseball's all-star game setup lately??? The all-star game decides homefield for the World Series.. There was an incident a few years ago where both sides exhausted all of the pitchers in the game and it ended in a tie.. This is why there is a ton of pitchers in case there is another extra innings incident... |

That said, hooray for Gil Meche. This may well be the first time in ten years the words "Royals" and "signing" weren't associated with the word "disaster." |

That's a pretty good turn around. Go from complaining about too many pitchers being taken, to complaining that it's terrible to end a game in a tie because both teams were out of pitchers. That works.
