I know this is a homer talkin but this team is the real deal. First of all I've been capping baseball for a long time and last yr. I started posting on here and did very well hardly ever betting on the Royals or my Phillies. I've quit betting but really love this site and sometimes check in to give my opinion. Yes the royals have a very low payroll but with the departure of Mike Sweeney and the retirement of Reggie Sanders this teams payroll actually went down from last yr. They signed Tomko and Jose Guillen in rt field but that was pretty much it. Flash back to when the Royals had major sticks in 03' Damon, Dye, Sweeney, and Beltran, but they had no pitching then. Now they have pitching and yng bats with Goordon, Teahen, Butler and Dejesus. The difference between 03 9-0 start and this 6-2 start is that we finally have a tough pitching staff. Our AAA Omaha staff has at least 2 starters that will start for at least 4 teams in the majors now. I m know its along season but to have that kind of depth in the pitching staff will help my boys make bettors very happy since it will take vegas awhile before they give the Royals the respect they deserve. Yes their record is a little inflated since Detroit was flat and the Yanks r banged up, but when u give yng talent confidence with some tested veterans to guide them don't be surprised if the LOWLY ROYALS r leading the central at the break.

Kansas City is a great place to watch a game. Though they havent been really good in awhile Its still a nice place to watch some games. I will be there several times this summer. Remember when Albert Joey Belle was with the Indians we were sitting with a decent crowd of Royals fans when a couple drunk dudes wearing Belle jerseys crept in and sat down . Royals fans rode their ass the whole game. It was comical as it was pretty entertaing and the Royals even won the game.Comment

hey techster thanx for responding bro. I'd luv to be th royals insider. how do I claim it? I looked to post in the 4-14 edge but I didn't see that Spark posted it. I've really been rt on with them so far and since I'm not betting I think I'm pretty locked in with no bias. I agree they don't win the central but to see all these yng arms and the way Hillman brings such a winning attitude from his championships from Japan I do think they stay close and end up maybe 5-10 games over 500.Originally posted by tech fanComment

true story bro. when I first moved from va to kc I waited tables at Houlihans on the Plaza in kc and Belle was in my section no shit. I was so nervous cause I'm such a big baseball fan ...so I come out and he gets up and leaves before I get there. was a real let down, but had a chance to wait on some real down to earth pros. Let me know when u come in town I live a mile from the stadium and could show u around bro.Originally posted by knowlezComment

Royals win 5-1 and Greinke gets 3 wins in a row!Comment

no not at all! the twins have owned kc for awhile with all their fans comin down here they call it their home away from home. I took my daughter to her first game last yr vs the the twins and we sat IN THE TWINS SECTION! it really sucked but they are classy fans for the most part. its not like watchin a philly mets game now those are some knockdown dragouts! kc fans haven't had that much pride but I hope this yr will change things and we will run out the visiting bs and claim our home back!Originally posted by birdogComment

KC has a very nice young team and Greinke is a true ace but to think they can contend this year for them is a little bit of a stretch unless they have guys in the minors who are ready to contribute for 4-5 in the rotation.
500 is a reasonable goal this year and contend next year.
I know the Tigers have looked like pure shit so far this year but when its mid April and they are 5.5 games out of first and people are trying to throw in the towel get real.
Royals are a great up and comer though....Greinke and Gordon are two of my favorites and Soria is super underrated

So early in the season. Just look back on what the Phillies did last year. And the Yankees for that matter. So I totally agree with you on your point, Pimp.Originally posted by MtrCtyPimp
And to the other guys in this thread I just wanted to say that it real interesting reading. Didnt know KC had such a good farm system and it was cool hearing about KC, the town and the stadium stuff. Plus, I lived in Philly for 4 years and those fans are just rude, obnoxious, boisterous, annoying and embarrassing as far as Im concerned. Just my opinion though. And RCMCD, look forward to your picks in the Edge."The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it." George Bernard ShawComment

No offense man, but NY fans aren't much better.Originally posted by 3ebRocks
To get to this post, KC is playing well, but the fact that they're averaging like 3 runs/game will eventually catch up to them. No way they stay in the race.
