They haven't shown anything, they built a power house club full of bats but no pitching to back it up, bullpen is battered with injuries Kapler is a mess, the clubhouse seems to be in disarray (and don't tell me no its because there Gritty), this season again there in First place then there in 2nd now there 3rd place the answer is to get rid of Kapler but I guess management still believes in this guy, at this point even though i don't like the guy i'd rather have Wathan hell I'd take Pete Mckannon or Ruby Amaro over this "analytics manager" in Kapler. And this brings us to the owner, I believe Middleton can't take an L on this one I think he is stubborn and wants to be right. He wants t

I feel the real reason Goldy was traded before the start of the season was for a couple of purposes. 1.) They wern't going to sign him after this year. 2.)

First game I went to was Kansas City Royals vs the New York Yankees I forgot the year and the score but this was when Kaufman Stadium wasn't even renovated when it ha
