The Royals lost 29-0 to the Chisox last night. Who's pitching tonight? Oh, who are we kidding? We don't give a rip anymore. Unless a fight breaks out. We're still interested in brawls.
Did the Chiefs look pretty good last week or were we just dreaming that?
We really like The Helicopter out of Mizzou and some of the other mid-round draft picks. And that Sippio guy.
OK. Let's list some of the young third baseman who are better than Gordon at this point: Longoria (too bad about the wrist), Wright, Braun (he might be an outfielder now)...Anyway, those guys are much better than Gordon...And what if Aviles played 3B? Who do you think will have a better season next year, Gordon or Aviles? Seriously.
P.S. We went to an earthquake conference today. St. Louis is so screwed.
P.P.S. To be honest, we're actually looking forward to baseball's off-season (as always), and not just because that means football season has arrived. This winter, Dayton's either going to see his shadow or not. It's either going to be six more years of futility or next spring is going to be the start of something really nice. Or something like that. The Royals have actually taken a small step forward this year, or a big step, depending on how you look at it. This off-season is crucial. We need to find a big right-handed bat and another pitcher. We need to make key trades. Dayton needs to stop being infatuated with grit and defense and speed. We need to figure out if that big Hawaiian-Samoan guy in Omaha is the real deal. And so on.

If you could send some sort of warning about the about the earthquake it would be greatly appreciated.
I am not ready to give up on Gordon and Butler just yet. Moose Tacos is playing third right now, but is still quite a way from the big league club.
I am ready to give up on Teahan as an everyday player.
Again any advance notice on that earthquake would be welcome.
I'm a little Royal'd out. I can only take the losing for so long.
Generally: "so long" = "Start of football season".
If the Royals are ever still in contention in late August then football can take a backseat.
I wouldn't mind Teahen becoming the ultimate utility guy (OF,3B,1B, emergency 2B) and letting go some of the scrap heap that is Pena/Gload/Gathright/German/Callaspo.
