Now you know how the rest of us felt for decades having to watch your losers day after day after day on WGN. Travesty.

Yeah, he's been horrible along with Billy Butler and the rest of the Royals. Really hoping Perez is a long-term keeper but even when he hits, the homers aren't there. He can really rake too, but his power one hops the wall mostly. Was hoping he'd be a 20 HR guy this year, at this point I just can't wait until he hits one (Butler also).

Posnanski wrote a quality blog post yesterday about the fact that somehow a Royal has never hit more than 36 HRs in the season. Seems unfathomable.

It's interesting because somebody has to be lowest but it's not that statistically unfathomable. The mean of all clubs' HR leaders is 52.9 with a standard deviation of just under 8. The Royals leader is around two sigmas below the mean. Bonds and McGwire are more than two sigmas above, which is about the kind of distribution you'd expect given a relatively small sample size, different ballparks and the PEDs era.
Balboni's 36 sounds a lot lower than the Mets' record of 41 but there's really not that much different in the grand scheme of things. At some point, the KC record will be broken and Balboni will waddle out and wave to the fans. It'll be a nice feel good story for everybody involved. Chances are it's not going to happen this year though.

If yelling was a suspendable offense, there wouldn't be enough players left to fill a starting lineup.

Me too. I didn't think he was on some sort of path to the BJ Upton level, guy was just hurt a lot last year and had an off year in 2012.shadyridr said:

I'd love to see him keep this up.
Amazing to think that, for as amazing as Miggy was when he hit age 30, his decade almost pales in comparison to what Pujols did from age 21 to 30.

Jose and Wood combined thru 8: 25 Ks, 0 BBs, 7 hits, 1 run. (Wood's done but Fernandez might be coming out to finish it off.)
Looks like Wood's 2nd straight 1-0 loss.

But at least Cano is rich! 
He was jogging to 1st base during pennant races in New York. I cannot wait to see how utterly disinterested he becomes in southern Vancouver when they are 14 games out in early July.

Doubt that. Seattle has a good young core including some awesome young pitching talent. I think they are trending upward and their owner wants to spend money.July 31 2015, he gets traded back to the yanks at 60 cents on the dollarBut at least Cano is rich!

He has I think 6 or 7 homers in about his last 90 games. I think the natives might get restless. That hot angel series seems like an eternity agoDoubt that.

Rangers getting all bunty down a run in the top of the 9th. Moreland thrown out at home when they tried a safety squeeze with one out.

I hope not, but I get a bad feeling we're about to see Miggy go through a similar cycle.
He got hurt last year on Aug 31. Since then, he's had 160 PAs at a .721 OPS clip. I haven't looked it up, but I'd assume Miggy has never had a 160 PA stretch of Mitch Moreland level production (except maybe as a rookie).

Cano is the least of this teams worries. Every single one of these guys looks lost up there at the plate. They make unknown journeymen look like Cy Young winners, over and over again. For the last 13 years it's been this way. Every year we have hope that these young guys will finally put it together, but we are still in April and it's already looking like every other year around here.He has I think 6 or 7 homers in about his last 90 games.

i have to face the guy again on sunday, so trust me, i hope his leg falls off. i feel like my priorities are in order. i haven't been this happy since mike james broke his ankle on the first drive of that monday night game.I SAID I WAS BEING PROACTIVE(not the pimple cream either).......oh wait, maybe I was being reactive(oh well)Wainwright claims he's fine.

FWIW, I think Martinez is a strong hold. Rosenthal hasn't been awesome in the 9th this year and there is already one Cards starter (Kelly) already shelved.I SAID I WAS BEING PROACTIVE(not the pimple cream either).......oh wait, maybe I was being reactive(oh well)Wainwright claims he's fine.

Of course they won't. He's still Aaron Harang. But five consecutive strong outings is about four more than I expected from him.I'm thinking his current .143 BABIP against and 90% strand rate are unlikely to hold up.Pitching form is such a mystery. He was cut by the Indians 30 days ago.Aaron Harang
