This team is hopeless. Dayton Moore has run it into the ground. The Glass family hasn’t been willing to spend to keep pace with the big-market clubs.

New manager Mike Shildt, who took over for Ron “Pop” Warner after Pop was promoted to Memphis to manage the Tripe-A Redbirds, took exception to a call in a game against the Northwest Arkansas Naturals on 5/11.

It has been 12 years since the Royals have had multiple players in the MLB All-Star Game, but this could be the year that streak ends.

I have written a lot of positive things about a baseball team that sits 9 games under .500 less than 20% of the way through the season.

After a horrific start to the 2012 season at Kauffman Stadium, the Kansas City Royals showed much improvement in their second home-stand against the beasts of the east.

The Royals are like your kids. You don’t love them because they’re good. You love them because they’re yours.
