Sorry I'm late to the party, but why is Cain not in the lineup?

Ah, ok. Thanks.

I was concerned that he was injured............like so many on this team right now.

9-3 guys. If you take the series with the twins, going into Cleveland and Tigers series..puts you in very good shape.

Ned Yost does not believe Omar Infante will require a DL stint. He could be available in an emergency on Tuesday.

Great news to hear!

[ChiefsCountry]

Next 20 games are against the AL Central. Time to put some separation between us and the others.

The MRI on Greg Holland's pectoral revealed a grade-one strain. Royals still hope he could be ready in two weeks.

I had to look this up:

What is a Muscle Strain?

A muscle strain is damage caused by over-stretching of muscle tissue. In football, this is thought to occur most frequently when movements such as sprinting, stretching for the ball or kicking the ball are carried out in an unco-ordinated manner. The muscle tissue becomes overloaded and reaches a breaking point where a tear or partial tear occurs. The player will experience pain that will persist if he or she attempts to stretch or contract the muscle. Depending on their severity, muscle strains are categorised into Grades 1, 2 or 3:
GRADE 1 STRAIN
There is damage to individual muscle fibres (less than 5% of fibres). This is a mild strain which requires 2 to 3 weeks rest.
GRADE 2 STRAIN
There is more extensive damage, with more muscle fibres involved, but the muscle is not completely ruptured. The rest period required is usually between 3 and 6 weeks.
GRADE 3 STRAIN
This is a complete rupture of a muscle. In a sports person this will usually require surgery to repair the muscle. The rehabilitation time is around 3 months.

Kevin Keitzman has just become a bigger pussy than he was. Just heard him on the radio responding to a caller who thinks the Royals have gotten too big for themselves....

KK "Yeah, no one has mentioned this but what if the Royals lost yesterday?? What do the fans think then???"

This is just stupid.

I can't stand his K-State loving ass

Edited: brain fart

This is just stupid. First off, if we are losing then Herrera doesn't even come into the game. Secondly, everything that happened up to Herrera was more than justified.

I second this the minute he said the slide by Lawrie wasn't dirty I turned him off right after that. Him and Petro can kiss my ass and I respect Petro most of the time. Keitzman just needs to quit he is aweful!

Denny Matthews also didn't think there was anything wrong with it.


I didn't see it live, but after seeing the replays I think it was dirty but I don't think it was egregious or that he was necessarily intending to injure. But I don't think it warranted the complete cluster**** yesterday. We should be bigger than that. We had already exacted out eye for an eye.

the cluster **** happened yesterday for 3 reasons..

1. Reddick running his mouth Saturday night after the game
2. Kazmir hitting Cain
3. Bad Umpiring
