Are you specifically looking for Royals coverage?

I'm sure the Kanas City Star has pretty good coverage on the Royals. This blog is written by a very good writer: http://www.ranyontheroyals.com/

Well, yes. :blush:

I'll check it out.

You better apologize!

Do you think Lincecum will ever rise back above mediocrity?

I think he's gonna end up following the Eckersley route.

So I turned on the TV tonight and jokingly asked David which team he wanted to watch and he inexplicably answered 'The Giants!'

I was a little taken aback so I asked again and mentioned a few other teams and he answered 'no, I wanna watch the Giants!' so I flipped over the MLB channel and sure enough the Giants were playing the Pirates so we watched the Giants (Pirates won 8-2).

I have no idea how he had even heard of the SF Giants and it was doubly funny that they just happened to also be on that night.

Saw Wacha pitch last night at Citi Field.  Looked completely lost in the first inning - couldn't find the plate and gave up a HR to Omar Quintanilla (his 8th in 8 years in the majors).  After that he settled down, didn't allow a run.  Watching live, it was hard to see how.  He doesn't seem to have outstanding stuff, but somehow it works.

Mets were godawful terrible - 1962 level bad.  Couldn't hit, couldn't pitch. Couldn't field.  Embarrassing to see.

He was outstanding in his first ever start.  Went 7 innings with just 2 hits, no walks and 1 run allowed.  Then last week he got shelled by Arizona.  Glad he settled in & picked up his first win last night.

From my vantage point, couldn't really see how the change was working. He did make a couple of guys look bad on early swings.  But he also gave up some drives that got caught.  In that park against that offense he got away with it, but it would have been ugly in Denver.

Here's a book to cheer you up:

Very entertaining read, adding a few trivia stories of the time (like the story of a serial killer near Chicago that gripped public attention back then).

Dunno.  Some pitchers just seem to be able to get guys out.  Maybe it's luck-- too early to tell.
