So much roster turnover, so little difference. Here are the Royals' records after 51 games in recent years:
- 2011: 23-28
- 2010: 21-30
- 2009: 23-28
- 2008: 21-30
- 2007: 19-32
Now, in 2005-2006 the Royals were a different level of really bad. The Royals were 13-38 through 51 games in '06 and 14-37 in '05. I remember those days. Just a young Royals blogger hoping things would get better. They did. Just not by much.
