Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

Gordon out 3-4 weeks with broken thumb.

According to Dick Kaigel at the Royals team website, Gordon broke it while sliding into second after his failed steal attempt.  Someone needs to tell him to just stop sliding head first. I bet someone regrets giving him the green light on that one. However, this does set up nicely for Jose to move over to 3rd which would really take our infield defense to a new level.

I wish Gordon still had that phantom attitude problem

Then he wouldn’t be playing so hard on March 7.

Thought this was kind of funny

Nonsense

Sliding head first raises your grit percentage at least 5 points.
