Oh boy, you probably recently found yourself saying about the Royals prospects for an impending firesale and the bountiful harvest of prospects sure to be heading their way. I can’t wait to see how the future is impacted by these necessary if unfortunate trades we’ll see soon, and hopefully what a wonderful impact they’ll have […]

Friday Notes
We’ve reached a point that is familiar to all of us who were following the Royals before the 2014 season where we count down the number of games left that we have to endure. That number is at 70, if you were curious. It’s a vicious cycle because once those 70 games are over and […]
The Other Guys
You may not be aware of this, but the Royals aren’t very good. In order to avoid 100 losses, they need to finish the season 37-34. That’s the pace of an 84-win season over 162 games. This team has only won three in a row once this year, so it seems unlikely they’ll play three […]
Series Preview: Royals at Minnesota Twins, July 9-11
Next up on the list of teams benefitting from facing the Royals is the Minnesota Twins, who were expected to be a playoff contender but have been well under .500 this season. They had lost eight of nine before the Orioles came to town and they swept them and now have a chance to face […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Boston Red Sox, July 6-8
The Royals continue their run at history as they welcome in the Boston Red Sox for a three-game weekend set. The Red Sox have the best record in baseball, so if you’re a fan of watching a good team, this would be the weekend to head out to the park. Offensively, the Red Sox do […]
Friday Notes
What more is there to say about this season? It’s actually interesting because when the Royals got good, I made a point that it was easier to write about a bad team than a good team because there were more areas to critique. I think I’ve learned this season that there is a limit to […]
Moose’s Potential Suitors
The rumors are heating up, so I think we should take a look at the trade market for Mike Moustakas. The Royals robbed us of this opportunity with Kelvin Herrera by trading him way before anyone thought they would, so let’s get to this now. Unfortunately, the market for Moose isn’t what a lot of […]
Move over ’62 Mets, here come the ’18 Royals
The Royals reached the midway point of the 2018 season over the weekend. But who marks time when you’re in a season of baseball hell? They have since dropped all four games to open the de facto second half. Plus ça change, plus, c’est la meme chose. This is where the struggle brings us. Yes, […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Cleveland Indians, July 2-4
The hapless Royals return to Kansas City to take on the hapfull Cleveland Indians. Is hapfull a word? Officially it isn’t, but that’s okay. The Indians are quite good and seem to really be coming to life in a division that was always going to be a cakewalk for them. They can hit, they can […]
Series Preview: Royals at Seattle Mariners, June 29-July 1
The Royals head west for the final time in 2018, this time to take on the Seattle Mariners in a three-game set at Safeco Field. The Mariners were hopeful to contend this season, but I think being on pace for 100 wins at the halfway point was beyond even what they were expecting this year. […]
