Good lord, Remember when the royals website was bragging about the great young bullpen of Mcdougal/Sisco/Burgos.
Times have changed.

Aviles with the pie to the face during his post-game interview. Classic.

I like the Royals, too. It's always depressing for me to watch the Cards and Royals play since one of them has to lose. From a strictly pragmatic standpoint, wins for the Cardinals mean more than wins for the Royals since St. Louis is in the division race and leading the NL wild card race. But if they have to lose, better to lose to KC.

i wonder who will represent the royals in the all-star game.....

probably guillen. but i think soria should get it.

Sure-Oz · 06-17-2008, 08:51 PM

Nice to see a middle infield with some pop on the bat...

I hope we trade Grudz sometime so we can get Callaspo regular duty

Plenty of time for him to go south, starting hot after a call-up isn't unusual, but this is really begging the question of why Davies wasn't in the rotation coming out of spring training. Although he did say in an interview that he got a lot of work done in the minors, so I guess it's all good.

they said during the broadcast that he wasn't very good in ST...

davies himself admitted that he was too "amped up" during his starts last year and into ST..

they were attributing his new found success to having a sense of calm this time around

If he can be a solid starter with an era 4-4.50, ill take that in a heartbeat

I think it's a good thing the Royals obviously haven't done enough of. It's not just something fans complain about, it seems like management even has been too quick in calling prospects up and almost bypassing AAA. The team needs the help, so why not... you hear it every spring from all angles.... except maybe guys like Gordon, Butler, Greinke, Teahen, would've been better served to actually spend half a season just beating up on AAA teams.
