I love pipe dreams :)

I wish they'd come true :(

He clocked two last night giving him 20 on the year.

Kila took another one deep here in Omaha as well.

Butler play third? He has a hard enough time at first which is the easiest position to play.

don't count the royals out in FA. they came close to signing tori hunter, and i think the non-action at the dead line this season really shows how close the front office thinks they are. i'm not going to slit my wrists if tex/sabathia don't end up signing here, but i think it might be more of a possibility than you're admitting right now.

btw, i think a lot of royals fans would need a towel to wipe their tv's with. maybe it could be a promotion.

that was my thought too. as usual would be 100+ losses. i'm thinkin this team is close to turning the corner. 2 more yr of progress and the could be pushin for the play-offs.

Wow, that's pretty much crazy.

Greinke can be a #2. The kid has an ERA below 4, he has dynamite stuff and is still only 24. There's not a team in baseball with a #3 that good, let alone a 4. TB may pull that off, that's it.

Meche a #3. He's a good pitcher, has been a great pitcher for 2 months now. He's occasionally lights out, but not consistent enough to be a true top of the rotation guy. He's the definition of a #3 starter.

Bannister a #5. Innings, keeps you in most games. He's a born back of the rotation starter.

You guys need a #1 and a #4. The 4 should be an innings eater that can give you league average performance; A Jeff Suppan-type.

That said, the Royals are still screwed until they get a new hitting coach. They've wasted 2 seasons of development on both Gordon and Butler. Shealy's busted, Teahan's regressed and Aviles will do the same if they don't get someone else in there soon.

I agree with most of this. I think Greinke is a #2 now with #1 future. Meche I think is a servicable 3 or 4 when hes not playing well, and when he's hot hes a servicable 2.

I do agree with this, however. We have seen a decline in our hitters the longer they stay in the majors. Whoever is handling it down in AAA seems to have a magic touch though. They brought up Aviles, Butler came back a new man and they are consistently developing strong hitters.

40-10 run to finish the season.

Probably win the division.

Beat Red Sox in ALDS

Beat Rays in ALCS

Beat Cubs in WS

Just imagine how bitter the cubs fans would be.

BELOW .500!

Below .500 as usual.

I think the Royals suck. I put every thread about them on ignore. When will you dipshits give it up?

ROFL

And I'm bitter about the Royals...

My current thoughts are that I'm glad we beat the Yankees.
