The Kansas City Royals’ No. 3 through No. 6 hitters have six homers all year … by far the lowest total in baseball.

It's nice to watch a game and come to the realization the team you cheer for is better than the opponent. I'm still not sure if that says more about the Royals or the White Sox.

Said Dayton Moore, "It snowed in May and now it's raining and fuckin' freezing out there. Also Miguel Cabrera. So, uh, fuck it. See y'all next year."

The Royals 2013 season is scheduled to be made up in a day-night double-season in 2014. The new CBA rules will allow teams to carry 26 players for both halves of the double-season.

This has been a strange game. Royals attempting to hold on after coming back from a 6-1 deficit.

Yost on letting moose swing 3-0 count bases loaded. "I wanted 4 not just 1. He got a sac fly so we got the 1 anyway. Same result"

Who would you want or other (like who with reasonable chance of being traded?): Chase Utley or Robinson Cano. Also, who would you give up for those two? I'm thinking someone like jason adams assuming he rights the ship.

The game started two hours ago. It is now the bottom fifth inning. The Royals currently trail 7-5.

We've got some guys who haven't got really untracked yet. When they do, it's going to be a fun little venture."

Because 18 innings wasn't enough.

James Shields threw a lot of pitches, but only allowed one run in six innings of work. Salvador Perez hit a clutch triple with two outs in the top of the seventh to put the Royals up 2-1.
