Who would be the man to get the most carries if both Charles and Thomas Jones were injured?

Dexter McCluster

Jackie Battle

Many people believe the Royals will trade at least one of these players, if more than one is traded,which pair of players, one pitcher and one batter, would you most like to see leave Kansas City?

We can atleast try to get him in. What if we could actually have two all-stars?!?!?!? So Vote for Gordon Now. Please.

Gordon has both a good offensive and defensive game and I believe he deserves it.

Go to the 2nd poll and see how many Kansans think the Thunder have improved themselves the most after their trade. Its the 2nd most after Oklahoma! A lot of people in Kansas support the Thunder, didn't know if people knew that in OKC. Just wanted to let all Thunder fans in Oklahoma that people in Kansas got the Thunder's back too. Can't wait to see Perkins help us but its worth the wait.

Go Thunder!

So, I saw the post about your favorite starter and I was thinking about our starters, I saw we have Chen, Davies, Hochevar, Mazzaro, Francis, and O'Sullivan.  Thats 6, I want to know who you think will be the one guy left out of the rotation, when the season starts...I know there could be other minor leaguers or other free agent signers that could take a spot and 2 of them couldn't start, but as of now we for sure have these 6, and usually only have 5 starters in the rotation.

Ok, so I'm driving down to KC, tuesday for the Royals game. I'm only 16 but I've went to a bunch of games before.  I'm going to have 4 friends riding with me and people are worried of how I'm going to drive so that is kinda getting me nervous, I really wanted to go to this game because of the Hot Dog Derby T-shirt...obviously go mustard, but I'm very excited for the game and I would just like to know of some tips to think of when I'm driving down there....thanks :)

Go Royals.

The Cardinals and White Sox were the two teams that have made it through the whole bracket and are now in the championship.  The Tigers have already finished 6th and the Mariners 5th, Now the Yankees have claimed 4th best Royal Rival and the Twins are the 3rd best rival.

Now its time to determine our best and 2nd best rivals

1. White Sox

vs.

1. Cardinals

This is probably my last post on Royal Rivals so I would like to thank everyone for voting and the great attitudes during this LONG! time and I hope you have all appreciated this haahaha.

Thanks 

I made my bracket so that the two biggest teams out of our division would have to go through each other to reach the championship and I made it so the two biggest division rivals would have to prove that their the biggest Royal Rival.

The Mariners and Tigers have claimed the 5th and 6th best rival, now its time to see which teams should go to the championship and then become best Royal Rival.

I am doing research trying to find the royals' true rivals.

Continue reading this post »

Needs: WR, RB, OL, LB, S, NT

FA: Chester Taylor/ LenDale White/ Just a Big/Powerful RB, Johnny Jolly/Vince Wilfork (Don't see that happening), Possible OL

Draft

1st Rd. Pick 5: Eric Berry

Reason: He can help our terrible tackling abilities and help Flowers by giving him some safety help.

2nd Rd, 1st Pick: Mardy Gilyard

Reason: He knows how to catch and is also electric on kickoffs which we are lacking big time.

2nd Rd, 2nd Pick: OL BPA

Reason: Don't know all the great Linemen yet but there always seems to be OL that are starting that were drafted in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. Need OL help BAD!

3rd Rd, LB BPA
Reason: Our inside linebackers have great stats this year with Demorrio having over 100 and Mays having a good year too. No need to mess with Hali he is doing just fine and I believe that Vrabel is a great leader and is teaching Studebaker well and maybe to take over his position but we do need depth so take a LB.

4th Rd, Another OL BPA

Reason: I think Waters, Albert, and O'Callaghan can all start we can get two OL in the draft and see how good they are, I'm sure one would start if not both. If we have to bring in a FA OL that sounds great too.

The only minor problem left would be Tight End. 

Reason: Maybe we could find a late gem or pick up a FA TE to compete with Pope and Cottam.

Please tell me what you think cause to me this covers all areas.

I wish I could hope we might have a chance when the opposing team kicks or punts the ball to us, but I can't even hope it looks so bad.  The smallest glimpse of hope came last week when Charles did an above average job and gave me more confidence hope than I've had in a long time. I strongly dislike Wade as a punt returner he keeps dropping balls, fumbling, and not running up the field, it's very hard to watch him.

Here are the Return Stats so far:

RETURNS

If we had to get someone next year in the draft, who would you want? What round should we take our first WR or KR? I think if we get a receiver in the draft ( let's pray we do), it better be a returner too. It's not our biggest concern but it definitely is a concern.

When Quinten Lawrence comes back he should get a chance. He can be good!

We all know that our secondary isn't the best but why not? We give up the long ball and never seem to be in front of the receiver. We have a lot of talent but why isn't it all coming together. Help me understand, please...=)
