ROYALS RUMORS & GOSSIP
No offense, but the Royals offense isn’t very offensive
It’s a quarter of the way through the season, and May hasn’t been a good month for the Royals. Since May 1, the team is 7-12 and 21-22 for the season. In 11 of their 19 games, the Royals scored 3 runs or less with a 1-10 record in those games. They’ve suffered two three game losing streaks and a four game losing streak Since May 6.
Besides Alex Gordon (.352), Lorenzo Cain...
Royals at the Crossroads
by John Viril—
Right now, the Kansas City Royals entire season is teetering on the brink. I know that many will say that is melodramatic. That it’s a long season, and they’re 121 games left.
Nonsense.
Year after year, fans have watched Kansas City run into an early losing streak that sucks the wind out of the entire season. Last season was the 12-game April losing streak that...
At the quarter-pole, history says with the Royals, anything is still possible
KANSAS CITY, Mo. We asked history. History shrugged. Actually, it shrugged, threw up its hands, grabbed a soda, and went back to playing Minecraft.
History cant help us here. All we know is that we dont stinking know. Not after 40 games. Not where the Kansas City Royals are concerned.
At the quarter-pole mark of the Big 162 40 games the Royals are 20-20. Theres some sound, a...

Royals hope trip to Houston is the tonic they need
MUST HOLD SERVE: After the painful sweep at the hands of the Oakland As over the weekend, the Royals find themselves back at .500, which might have sounded promising back in February considering how many horrible starts the Royals have had in April and May over the years. But there is obvious disappointment now because the team recently was 17-10 and riding high after a huge come...

Kansas City Royals Power Rankings 5-19
It’s week three of the I70 Baseball Royals Power Rankings, as we basically reach the end of the first quarter of the season. This was an up and down week that ended at 2-4. There are many years that 2-4 in California wouldn’t sound that bad and neither would 20-20.

Video: Jeff Francoeur continues tradition with opposing fans by visiting before game
Your browser does not support iframes.Jeff Francoeur may be the most popular player among Oakland A's fans.Of course, that may seem strange considering the outfielder plays for the Kansas City Royals.

Kansas City Royals Make Trio Of Moves Including David Lough Recall
The Kansas City Royals recalled outfielder David Lough from their Triple-A Omaha minor league affiliate. To make room for Lough on the active roster, Kansas City placed outfielder Jarrod Dyson on the 15-day disabled list with a right ankle sprain.

Royals prospects enduring tough Start
by John Viril—
In 2010, the Kansas City Royals minor league system enjoyed a magical season which saw a record nine farmhands propel themselves into Baseball Prospectus’ top 100 prospects. 2013 is almost the exact opposite. This year, Kansas City’s top prospects are typically suffering through slow starts to their season. Prospects are cratering up and down the organization...

Is Aaron Crow a Bust?
You may remember Aaron Crow's amateur career. Stud starting pitcher at the University of Missouri. He was a high first round draft pick for the Washington Nationals in 2008 (9th pick) but they were unable to sign him and he went back into the draft in 2009. The Kansas City Royals grabbed him with the 12th pick of the 2009 draft. Immediately the projections began that...
Five things you need to know from the Royals-Angels series
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? Sure, its way too early to start talking about big series, but taking two of three from the Angels on the heels of losing six of seven was important to the Royals because it keeps everyone relaxed. The Royals desperately want to play significant games in August and September, and to do that they will have to break out of losing spells much more quickly than...

The Evolving Kansas City Royals: The Offense
For several years now the Kansas City Royals have had one of the better farm systems in Major League Baseball. Most teams should be so lucky. The Royals haven’t been able to translate this advantage into success on the field and there would seem to be one very good reason for this.
You can’t win the World Series with the AAA Storm Chasers. It takes time to scout and develop...
Happy Birthday George Brett. Here’s the epic video of him talking about crapping his pants
The sports birthdays for May 15 include John Smoltz, Heisman winner Desmond Howard, our favorite “alleged” murdering preacher Ray Lewis, and Emmitt Smith. A ton of sports studs on this day but the Holy Grail is an equal split between a giant bust, Ryan Leaf, and a baseball Hall of Famer with the greatest story ever about crapping his pants in Las Vegas, George Brett.
