Figures... Poor Royals

I was just checking out the baseball steroid report. It looks like Jason Grimsley, who I kind of liked as a get-it-done reliever, was using when he was with my beloved Royals. But maybe the worst part was that, in the appendix of the report that shows the money orders and chashed checks collected from the pusher-man who provided stuff to the commission, Grimsley's checks all have pictures of cute angels and Anne Geddis babies and stuff on them. I'm sure everyone on the list is embarassed, but man, paying for your drugs with babys-as-sunflowers checks? That's gotta be embarassing!

Heavens to Betsy!

I really believe the Royals are a better team this year, but man what a heartbreaking team. We could have won that game last night and that Sunday game against the Tigers if we'd just had one extra hit. We left four men in scoring position on 4/8, and two in scoring position last night. It's just a fact of life that the Royals can't take a one-run lead into the late innings and expect to win. I think our rotation is pretty good, but our closers just spot the opponents runs. It's right there, we can do it, but man it is tough being so close to not being a running joke.
