[teedubya]

actually, only 4 teams have scored fewer...

[Stewie]

Who cares? There have been 11 games played. Offensive stats are skewed early in the season.

[teedubya]

well, it looks pretty anemic when you take away yesterday's 12 runs... don't you think?

Better get those bats poppin'... our Batting Averages are shitty, for the most part.

I'm very excited about the pitching... need to get the bats moving.

[HighChief]

I am a twins fan and i can totally feel ya. That was the twins the last like decade.

Just be happy in the fact that it is good pitching that wins games and not so much good hitting.

Keep it up KC staff

GO TWINS!!!!!

[chiefqueen]

actually, only 4 teams have scored fewer...

but no teams have given up fewer

[CaliforniaChief]

You are correct that the offense must improve. I would say that the biggest culprit is situational hitting...i.e. moving guys along, scoring them from 3rd with less than 2 out, etc. We're just not going to power our way through many games.

I do think that Guillen will eventually help out, and Jacobs is beginning to show some signs. I love what Coco does at the top, we just have to find consistency at the 3 spot and we should see more production.

Oh yeah, and I'm excited to get Hochevar back up to add that 4th starter. This could be special...and actually if (realizing it's April) they could get into the post season, do you think anyone would want to face the 3 starter-combo we have???

I'm such a Royals fan...it's April 18th and I'm mad the other 4 teams won and checked the standings. Oh well.

[SPchief]

Jesus, It's the 2nd week, the offense will come alive

[Rigodan]

Sidney Ponson's been not terrible in his two starts as well. If he can keep it up and Hochevar does ok when he gets up our pitching staff is going to be sick this year.

[chiefbowe82]

and if we can get guillen and gordon back, I don't think we'll lose another game this season *drools*

[Basileus777]

At least you guys didn't give up 14 runs in one inning.

[Jenson71]

Wang is a flop.



tehehe

[Coach]

I think the hitting will come around eventually.

[DaneMcCloud]

Arizona 40 RS 4-7
San Francisco 35 RS 3-8
Cincinnati 38 RS 5-5
Houston 34 RS 4-7
Milwaukee 45 RS 3-8
Atlanta 45 RS 5-6


ROYALS 45 RS 7-4

I'll be more interested in that stat in September

[ChiefsCountry]

At least you guys didn't give up 14 runs in one inning.

Couldn't happen to a better franchise, well maybe the team on the east side of Missouri as well. :D

[BWillie]

Mitch Maier could be the key. We aren't going to get Gordon back until sometime in July, and imagine how rusty he is going to be for a good month even. Gordon kinda sucks, but you are still losing alot of RBI's and walks. Maier needs to step up.

Trade deadline moves, baby.

Fucks yes. We're not selling; we're buying.

Rusty? Gordon's going to get plenty of AAA rehab time, I think. Also, Maier can't really step up until Hillman actually starts him. *Grrrr.*

[beavis]

You fuckers never cease to amaze me.

How fucking great is baseball season?

[Coach]

How fucking great is baseball season?

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. Its been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But, baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

you lose cool points

[Mecca]

Stop focusing on Ponson as the worst pitcher...Ramirez is far far worse.

Tool.

That would be the equivalent of comparing you to a sleazy used car salesman.

Still, you started it.

I'm telling mom.

Again?

Got a problem with that, Moonlight Graham? :p

[Jenson71]

Nobody's called him Moonlight Graham in 50 years.

[Moobs]

How ****ing great is baseball season?

Trade deadline moves, baby.

****s yes. We're not selling; we're buying.

Jump the gun much bud? I'm a Royals fan but settle down.

[beer bacon]

We scored eight runs the first five games, but we have scored 37 runs in the last six. 6 runs per game is pretty good I think. We have done all this without our best hitter.
