I agree. That being said they had been talking about 2012 for three years so they couldn't back off of that. Maybe something a little less pressure filled would have been appropriate though.

Odorizzi, Lamb, Montgomery, then a bunch who are better than scratch-off lotto tickets.

The Royals fanbase's apathy will be setting in soon.

Montgomery has it, he just cant control it for shit.

Will Smith looks decent

odorizzi is a stud, and Lamb will be back

Come on...we are only what, 5 years in Dayton Moore??? :D

9th inning
 

Top 9th

Kelvin Herrera relieves Collins

Raburn grounds out to second

Don Kelly bats for Dirks

Kelly grounds into a 4-6-3 double play, Santiago out at second

0 runs, 1 hit

Bottom 9th

Jose Valverde relieves Benoit

Betancourt flies out to center
Pena walks
Escobar strikes out (swinging)
Pena to second on defensive indifference
Gordon grounds out to second

0 runs, 0 hits

Tigers win, 3-1

Seriously, it would be so fu king nice to be able to watch Royals baseball in May and know we are still in the race.c

did that just say 102?

My optomism has been destroyed, but not by Detroit. Oakland and Cleveland aren't any good.

Yeah that would be nice. 2003 brings back good memories.

Rex Hudler uses his tongue prettier than a $20 whore.

This season is ending even earlier than usual.

Eventually they are going to start giving the Royals automatic wins before the year starts just to make it interesting...it will set a new standard on just how quickly they can fade.

It's almost inspiringly bad.

The Royals will be good next year

Wasn't Montgomery supposed to be up last year? He's been off my list for awhile.

I didn't expect us to compete for a division title but I was expecting us to be within 5-10 games of .500 baseball. We look so much like shit that that is probably out of the question.
