D o richer Major League Baseball teams play in cleaner stadiums? We surveyed health-code violations at 11 stadiums to find out.

Why skip Galarraga?

Mon, 12 May 2008 19:24:17 +1900

According to Leyland, it came down to having off days the next two Mondays. Because of that, Justin Verlander was scheduled to start Wednesday at Kansas City with an extra day of rest, then would've had another extra day of rest before his next start. The decision was that it's best to keep Verlander on his normal routine. "I need to get Verlander going," said Leyland, who added that Verlander ...

I can't stand the fact that every time I turn on ESPN they are showing 90% coverage of the Red Sox, Yankees, and Mets. I agree that there should be increased coverage of the rest of the MLB.

The Official Site of The Kansas City Royals: News: Royals keeping Draft cards close

Wed, 7 May 2008 17:38:12 +1900

KANSAS CITY -- Around here, of course, 2005 was the year of the Alex Gordon Draft. Gordon was the overall No. 2 choice by the Royals that year after the Diamondbacks made Justin Upton the top pick of the First-Year Player Draft. Others who were snapped up early included Jeff Clement, Ryan Zimmerman, Ryan Braun and Troy Tulowitzki. It was a pretty good crop. Now we come to 2008, and the ...

Wed, 7 May 2008 17:38:12 +1900

For years, the Royals concentrated on pitchers in the first round of the First-Year Player Draft. Only the last of eight straight picks of pitchers really worked well, though: Zack Greinke, class of 2002. Since then, however, the Royals have mixed it up, and with successful results. Recent first-rounders include three other players currently having a Major League impact -- first ...

Soria is sensational as closer, but should he move to rotation?

Thu, 8 May 2008 19:03:00 +1900

Joakim Soria can do the splits. Did you know that? Unofficially, they're calling him the only Royals player who can do the splits, and that's just the beginning of how he's unique.

Joakim Soria as a Starter?

Thu, 8 May 2008 19:05:00 +1900

Kansas City Royals closer Joakim Soria has been fantastic so far. I mean, ridiculously good. He's 8-for-8 in save situations, and has been damn near untouchable so far. In 13 innings of work, he's struck out 15 while allowing only one walk and three hits, all of which gives him an unbelievably low WHIP of 0.31. He's even been garnering comparisons to a young Mariano Rivera already. Still, ...

The Word On The Street by Phil Brody — 5/5/08

Wed, 7 May 2008 06:22:20 +1900

No Laffey Matter Aaron Laffey’s debut on Monday against the New York Yankees was impressive. You might look at his line of 5.2 IP, 3 H,4 ER, 1 BB, 1 K and think otherwise, but he was the victim of some bad luck and lethargic defense.
