Let's keep a losing team losing as Strahm will be looking to bounce back with a good start.

Strahm, 2-4, 4.80 ERA vs Verlander, 4-4, 4.52 ERA.

At least Meche retired.

Hillman ****ed Meche.

Meche was 1000000x more productive as a Royal than Moss has been.

Jose Guillen still holds the crown there.

That is more than likely the ceiling for this team as constructed currently. Except if we keep everybody and end up .500 or so, for the next several years it will be "remember 2004".

That's not entirely true. If you hang around .500 you'll give yourself a shot in this era with two wild cards. The 2015 Mets were basically .500 at the end of July. The 2012 Tigers were 38-40 at the end of June. The 2011 Cardinals were 50-47 on July 20th. The 2010 Giants were 41-40 on July 4th. The 2009 Phillies were 39-37 on July 2nd.

All of those teams played in the World Series. This isn't even including other playoff teams. Of course that doesn't mean the Royals are going to do it... but there is almost certainly one (if not several) of these teams hanging around .500 that'll make the playoffs. If you can stay in striking distance and be relatively healthy by July 1st, you've put yourself in position to compete.

Let's take a stroll through the wonders of Royals' past.

The Royals blew a five-run lead on the Twins in the ninth and Justin Morneau added to the misery with a homer in the 10th. It was all Guillen, on his ninth team in 12 seasons, could bear. "Too many babies here," Guillen said, swearing throughout. "They don't know how to play the game and win the game right, the way it's supposed to be played. And that's the problem here. Now I know why this organization's been losing for a while. Now I know." And don't get Guillen started by insinuating that it's [Trey Hillman's] the new manager's fault. "He cares more than anyone here about winning," Guillen said. "That guy cares. Every single day. It's killing him. We've just got to be smart and know what we need to do to win games. That's it. There's too many guys that won't do this, do that, like they've given up, like they don't care." Guillen would not name names, so maybe his rant is kind of like that of Brick Tamland who didn't know what the yelling and loud noises were about. But it's not the legitimacy of what was said, it's the heat of the steam released. It's the amount of swearing. It's the quotability. I can't wait for the tape.

How do you score 3 runs before making an out and then not score a single run the rest of the game? Pathetic.

2 words.... Brandon Moss

[BWillie]

Strahm needs to stay in the pen. Like what he can do out of there, but never envisioned him as a SP
