Ugh..is all I can say about the start of the season for the Royals.  Not good.  On the bright side the Twinkies are looking good.

MetalDog

How many teams do you root for?  29?

Kirby Puckett and George Brett. 

MetalDog

I know at one time Kirby had gotten big enough to mistaken for a team.  Hadn't realized Brett did, too.

Kirby was a great human being.  Too bad, he left us so soon. 

He had some epic moments in the World Series.  Sure he was a little rotund but the man could play.

Anyway.  I've always pulled for those two teams.  Odd I know.

MetalDog

I know you pull for both those teams.  Just giving you a little ribbing.  You would think after the success KC had after Kauffman opened up the purse strings that MLB's richest owner, Carl Pohlad, would do something similar.  No such luck.

The Twins ownership can certainly be hard to understand sometimes.

Royals so far cannot hit and bullpen has been horrible.  It's going to be a long season I fear.

it's 162 games - it's supposed to be a long season

I'm thinking long season as in sub-500.  The hitting should turn around a bit, but the bullpen is a shell of the last 4-5 seasons.

Too bad the Red Sox can't get players like Cespedes or Lester.
