I am not sure if I would ever report Royals news if I was ESPN. I consider us lucky that we still make the ticker.

Yeah, those are the same idiots that said we kept Ken Harvey in AAA for arbitration/money reasons, when in fact he's still going to be eligible for arbitration after this season and him going to AAA didn't affect it at all. I'd bet none of those guys have even seen Zack Greinke pitch.

They probably don't have a lot of time to cover AA teams masquerading as major league teams.

Karl Ravech still can't pronouce his name right he calls him "grunkie" whoever that is.

If you're really watching ESPN or Baseball Tonight in particular for Royals coverage it's a mistake. All ESPN is a Yankee/Red Sox show with a few highlights and packages of other teams sprinkled in. I hope their ratings are good for going that route cause it sure makes the show suck.
