here's a chuckle for Bison...

QuoteIn 2014, the Royals rode a starting rotation of James Shields, Yordano Ventura, and "we'll figure out the rest later" to Game 7 of the World Series because they could call on five knockout relievers to pitch as many as six innings a night.

great description of their rotation


also this nugget from later in the same article, about Philly

The Royals bullpen is not good.  The article was also correct that the Royals are going to lose a number of players this off-season.  It's the sad reality that should secure the bottom of the AL Central for a few seasons and possibly decades. :(

Red Sox are damn lucky they have Chris Sale.

I'm actually looking for the Sox/Royals this weekend. Farrell could be out of a job by the end of it.

This is how it begins.  First you develop an interest in having the manager shit canned.  And then you realize that baseball is a civilized sport unlike that Neanderthal ballgame known as football.   Its cute that Mirth is a Red Sox fan.  Red Sox fans are only slightly more annoying than Cubs fans, but much less annoying than Yankees fans.

I am not a Sox fan. If you want to survive in New England, you have to be able to talk a little baseball.

I guess a Royals sweep was too much to hope for. Farrell's on borrowed time though.

And need Yankee catsoffs to do it?  Figures.  Say what you will, it all comes back to the Yankees in the end.
