A Restless Kansas City Royals Ramble

Posted: 25th October 2009 by Josh Duggan in MLB
As Royals fans, we have very little to talk about right now.á Hell, most of us checked out sometime in June when it had become more than clear that the fast start was a mirage and that the air of respectability we thought was going to accompany the Royals resurgence had been knocked from our lungs.á Regardless, I would imagine that the bulk of Royals fans can only bring themselves to stop ...

The Machine By Joe Posnanski

Another Greinke Start, Another Royals Letdown

Posted: 11th September 2009 by Josh Duggan in MLB
Honestly, this article could write itself after almost any Greinke non-win this season.  The awful team on the field behind him finds a way to squander another Greinke gem.  Two hits and no runs allowed through six are proven to be immaterial, as the hapless Royals strand runners, ground into double plays, fall astray on the basepaths, and subvert his best efforts on defense. There was Miguel Olivo getting caught in a run ...
