Actual vs. expected record using WAR
by Home Run Tony Cogan
on Jul 3, 2009 4:26 PM EDT

I got to thinking, with the performance of this year's team, what really is to blame for the Royals' sickly performance thus far in 2009? We know that the team as constructed weren't going to be world-beaters, but my sense is that the team has significantly underperformed it's talent level so far.
So, I decided to do a quick and admittedly rough analysis of our beloved Royals. I then wanted to see what our performance looked like compared to the other teams in the league, to see if I could come up with any conclusions.

I'm hoping Mellinger finds enough background info to write something about the Rany Jazayerli Ban. Nothing so far however. Meanwhile, in Omaha, Alex Gordon mania rages.

John Buck's triumphant return (w/ poll)
by BHWick

John Buck has the fortune of a quick DL stint with no nonsense. Granted, that happens when you have sudden obvious back problems.
But with John Buck expected in the Majors sometime during the White Sox series, the need for a roster move is obvious. So let's go over some of the possibilities and you, the snarky fan, can pick an option you like.

1 day ago: Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Bruce Chen throws in the first inning of a baseball game against the Chicago White Sox Thursday, July 2, 2009, in Kansas City, Mo. (AP Photo/Ed Zurga)
It's all just a quirk of sports, I guess. A quirk of baseball.
- 5 singles, a double, no walks. Party like it's 2005.
- Willie Bloomquist -- he just plays the game the right way -- and Mark Teahen were thrown out at first base from the outfield.
- The shame of it was, the Royals got a perfectly acceptable start from Bruce Chen. Chen's start won't be immortalized in stone, but he went 6 innings, scattering 5 hits and a walk against 5 strikeouts. And so, we can now say it, Bruce Chen has provided depth this season. One more OK start, and the minor league contract he received has fully worked out. The difference between Chen and guys like Ho-Ram and Ponson? I don't know.
- Less than 18,000 tonight at the K for this game. The Royals are currently averaging 23,700 per game, good for 23rd best in the game. I wonder how attendance will do as the season continues.

Damn it's been a weird day. Apparently, the games will go on, however.
Bruce Chen versus Mark the Unspellable. Love it.

Potentially the Most Insanely Paranoid Aspect of the Rany Jazayerli Ban
by royalsreview
on Jul 2, 2009 5:39 PM EDT
in News
29 comments
From Rany's blog:
Just to be clear here, since I think everyone's taking my words a little too literally: I don't think I've been "banned" in the sense that they're going to have security guards outside the stadium making sure that I don't buy a ticket. It does mean that the Royals have cut off any access I may have from the team for my radio show, and - this is critical - have intimated that any other radio show which has me on as a guest faces the same penalty.
I see this as the equivalent of having my media credentials taken away, except of course that I don't have media credentials, and the Royals have made it clear they don't give media credentials to bloggers.)
