royals losing streak

What is going on with this team? The Red Sox are just way to dominant at home to win against lately. Red Sox had Dice-K on the mound today. He is now 8-0 on the season. How unreal is that? Royals even put up 8 runs against the Sox. Oh well. Royals are still in 4th place, however the Detroit Tigers are charging after sweeping their opponents. They are now just one game back! It truly is a great thing that baseball is a 162 games long. If it was like football, I would be pulling my hair out and any hair I would have left would be gray.

Am I worried about this 4 game losing streak by the Kansas City Royals? Not at all. They have proven enough through the 2 months of baseball that they are going to play with everyone for a good while. I just truly hope the bats stay hot and the pitching revives itself by leaving Boston.

Breaks Over...

So I took over a month off from writing about sports and life and just pretty much anything that pops up in my brain. From the looks of when I last posted it appeared that I took time off to celebrate the Kansas National Basketball Championship.

Breaks over...

It is fun to watch the Kansas City Royals play some ball lately. Joakim Soria is now locked up for quite some time in what appears to be a steal of a get for the Management and Ownership. 4 years at 32 million dollars, that could get much higher. From Royals Review, they listed Soria's contract as follows;

2009 $4.5M
2010 $6.5M
2011 $10M
2012 $11M
2013 $12M club option
2014 $14M club option
2015 $15M club option

Soria is a dominant pitcher who most likely will not have his arm fall off. He has quality stuff that can just leave batters looking stupid.

Next the Royals have to sign Alex Gordon and Zach Greinke to long term deals. Greinke, I feel is a 5 year/ 60 million dollar pitcher. He is by far the best player on the team and they need to sign him now before it is to late. Waiting just forces the price to skyrocket. Gordon, on the other hand is not the George Brett calibur phenom (yet) that fans had hoped. Still just in year two he is showing he is the best athlete the Royals have. Lock up Greinke and Gordon now and show fans you are with this team for the long term.

Kansas City sports are getting better. The Chiefs had an amazing draft. Easily the best one since Carl Peterson drafted Derrick Thomas with the 4th pick in the NFL Draft early in his multi-title role (general manager/president/ceo). The Royals will be flirting with a .500 record all year long. Good things will happen. The Owners, Management, and Players just need to keep working and getting better day to day. We as fans can not do anything but just to not give up and keep believing. Hope is all we can cling to right now.

Keep the faith!
