I take that back, they have close to $60 mil. coming off the books after this season but that's not counting any arbitration eligible players.

When Berkman leaves, they can platoon Craig/Jay/Chambers in RF. If Carp did leave, they could call up Miller. Franklin's a FA after this season, so we'll see if they choose to sign a FA or go with in house options like Sanchez, Motte or Boggs. |

Are you really trying to say that you would rather take your total situation, money to spend, cureent players, farm system and future revenue etc over the Cardinals?

Right now if there's a worse manager or front office than ours, I couldn't tell you who it is. The combination of LaRussa/Mozeliak is like Herm/Carl on steroids. We're about to piss away the best player of our lifetime, and beyond him there are maybe three or four people on the roster worth a shit, and one of them is out for the year. The farm system is in shambles. And for the ownership group to allow things to get this bad and stay this bad, you've got to wonder if they have what it takes to right the ship, or if they even care. This a bad, bad team. A last place team. An inexcusable embarrassment. I'd be shocked if we finish with a better record than the Pirates, let alone the Royals. |

But there are analogys between Marty and King Carl era at the end. This does feel like they tryed to patch and band aid it up for one last run of this era.

I've always liked the Royals. My favorite baseball player was, is and will always be George Brett. I just got tired of my Royals experience being sinking in a seat at Comiskey Park watching them get pummeled by mediocre White Sox teams year after year after year. They've been doing that for decades - the Cardinals have been doing for a couple of years.
But until the ship gets righted, and first and foremost that means running that useless drunken **** LaRussa out of town along with all his cronies, I'm on strike. |

And you can't patch a gushing arterial wound with a band-aid.

We had a riun of 10 years with 7 playoff berths, 2 World Series appearances and 1 World Series win. The Royals will never, ever have a run like that.

Um, the Royals had a similar 10 years to the Cardinals(6 playoff appearances in 10 years, 2 pennants and 1 World Series title).

Non-Royals fans forget about the success they had in the late 70's and early 80's. Those almost-annual playoff matchups with the Yankees were epic. |

OTW58, do you have U-Verse?
They're blacking out the game today(I think) and 19 more. |
