Series Preview: Royals at Detroit Tigers, June 27-29
The Royals hit the road for a grueling three-game road trip against the flailing Detroit Tigers. Once the kings of the AL Central, the Tigers are languishing near the bottom of the division due to a lack of contributions from most of their stars, both on the position player side and in their pitching. J.D. […]
Series Preview: Royals vs. Toronto Blue Jays, June 23-25
Here come the Blue Jays. Tell me if this sounds familiar. After a terribly disappointing start, a team with playoff aspirations has played well enough to get themselves back into the AL Wild Card race because of a truly mediocre middle class in the American League this season. The Blue Jays were 2-11 through 13 […]
Series Preview: Royals at Los Angeles Angels, June 15-18
The Royals conclude their West Coast road swing with a four-game set against the Angels, who have survived surprisingly well without Mike Trout but are probably realistically not more than an average team even with him in the lineup. Still, their record is better than that of the Royals, so this has to be seen […]
Series Preview: Royals at San Diego Padres, June 9-11
The Padres figured to be awful this season when they went into the year, and they are certainly living up to expectations. I’m not sure if that’s good news or bad news for the Royals, who badly need to load up on some wins against bad teams to get back into the AL Central race. If […]

It’s Not Early Anymore
It’s a grim time to be a Royals fan. This weekend, we passed the quarter point in the season. You can strap the cliche of “it’s still early” to the bat rack and set it on fire. All these games to this point count. And the results are enough to send you into a spiral […]
Bring On The Kids
It’s time for a painful reckoning. Even discussing this is not fun. But yes, it is time to prepare ourselves to say goodbye to many of our favorite Royals. Sure, they’ll come back to Kansas City from time to time, wearing different colors, and some people will boo them while others give them ovations for […]
