The Royal King
Visits: 0The Kansas City Royals have won the 2015 World Series and, in honor of that, I’m going to talk about arguably the greatest player in the franchise’s history:George Brett! George Howard Brett played his entire 21-year career in Kansas City from 1973-1993. The third baseman became a staple in Missouri sports for good reason. […]
2014 ALCS Ticket Prices & How They Compare with Past Years
Visits: 0Wow, who would have thought that the 2014 ALCS would come down to the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City Royals as both teams swept their opponents three games to none! It’s surprising that teams with Mike Trout, Albert Pujols & Josh Hamilton (Angels) and Miguel Cabrera, Ian Kinsler & Victor Martinez (Tigers) could […]
Will the Royals Win in 2013?
Visits: 2The Kansas City Royals’ 2012 season began with high hopes. After a 26-year playoff drought and eight consecutive seasons without a winning record, the Royals expected an emerging core of young players in their first full seasons–Eric Hosmer, Salvador Perez, Mike Moustakas, and Lorenzo Cain–to join established stars Alex Gordon and Billy Butler in […]
The Royals’ Pitching Woes
Visits: 1 The Kansas City Royals’ 2012 season started with higher expectations than would normally be appropriate for a team that lost 91 games the previous year and had suffered eight consecutive losing seasons. There were good reasons for the optimism. A number of young everyday players had graduated from what was being called MLB’s […]
The 2012 Kansas City Royals are Primed for a Breakout Season
Visits: 0 The Kansas City Royals were at one time the class of the American League. They were established as a premiere team that was built with homegrown talent, sprinkled with free agents that made the team contenders year after year. However, for the last 15-plus years they turned into a laughing stock, basically a […]
2011 Fantasy Baseball Prospect Report: Kansas City Royals’ Mike Moustakas
Visits: 0 In one of the most anticipated roster moves of the 2011 season, the Kansas City Royals promoted third base prospect Mike Moustakas from Triple-A on Friday. He has exactly one hit (including his first major league HR on Saturday) and one run in each of his first three games. Moustakas ranked as the No. 9 […]
Royals Are Laughingstocks Once More
Visits: 2When Dayton Moore was hired as general manager and David Glass decided it was okay to spend a little money, most of us were sure that the Royals were on the road back to respectability. Bolstered by a better than it really was September, the Royals won more games in 2008 than they had […]
A Royal Thirty Days of Stink
Visits: 2 There were once high hopes for the Kansas City Royals, but no longer. While the problems plaguing the Royals began even as they raced out of the 2009 starting gate to an 18-11 record and three game Central Division lead, the last thirty days provide a perfect illustration of the state of this […]
Royals Showcase Textbook Bad Baseball
Visits: 2 When I last reported on the Royals, the team was sitting just one game out of first place in the American League Central with a respectable 20-18 record. Sure, Kansas City had dropped seven of their last nine games to get to that mark, but all was still well in the land of […]
The Royals Become Relevant
Visits: 2Unless you are a Kansas City Royals fan or a really, really huge baseball fan in general, chances are you have not given the Royals much thought since about 1994. Even during the 2003 campaign, when Kansas City won sixteen of their first nineteen games and hung in the race until late August, they […]
Kansas City Royals off Season Report
Visits: 0Season Wrap Up For many other teams, posting a 75 win season isn’t exactly a cause for excitement, but for the first time in a while, the Royals were able to dig themselves out of the bottom spot in the American League Central. They finished fourth, but some improvement is better than none. The […]
It’s A 2 Team Race in the AL Central
Visits: 7 Kansas City Royals Unfortunately, they’re right where everyone thought they would be come August. Dead last in the AL Central. They have a solid closer, SP Zack Greinke has proved to be a solid starter as well and Jose Guillen has proved that he can still hit. Beyond that, the Royals have a […]
Pete’s Picks: AL Central
Visits: 201AL Central 1. Tigers : They might have arguably the best line-up in all of baseball 1-9, but their pitching, in my opinion, is suspect past the first three starters and especially their bullpen! As good as their hitting will/should be in ’08, their pitching might be the great neutralizer. Outside of Verlander, […]
