Royals Trying to Rally Again

Not that it makes much of a difference anyway, but I wasn’t impressed with his Tantrums in Toronto. Yes, Hillenbrand is an ass. The Ted Lilly thing was pretty silly, though.

the guy could get seriously hurt because we let him pitch 250 pitches the two starts after having back issues….and now his back is acting up again. This is NOT fair to Meche. Or Dougie. But seriously, Meche.

But if Dayton is in some stupid “win now” mode, doesn’t losing Meche for an extended period pretty much put to rest any hope on that. Even he has to know that a rotation consisting of Zack, Banny, and some combo of Davies, Hochevar, Chen, and Ponson is in real trouble when it can’t hit, right?
