Did the Royals start a scientific research division?

Also, does this mean that Science has run its course in human history, and is on its way out?

Can anyone with a journalism degree tell me why this needed to be written?

So JoePo thinks we ought to sign Barry. I really think he underestimates the effect even a player like Barry would have on 3 months of baseball. Would the push for .500 ball be worth it?

At the same time...we are talking about signing him for league minimum. We've taken flyers on much, much lesser talent.

Edit: Definitely meant to say "overestimates", not "underestimates". He overestimates the effect of Barry.

NL vs. AL

So, I get the gist from comments on this site as well as, oh, everywhere else that the AL has an advantage on the NL. Certainly interleague play has proven this is true. My question is, why do you think this happened?

Is it because the Yankees, and teams like them, bought up a bunch of talent that remained in the league? Did other teams follow their methods and start bringing talent to the AL side?

Or is it the different approaches to baseball? I don't think we can blame the DH - time is split pretty evenly in interleague play between AL and NL ballparks.

Or is it all just a myth perpetuated by ESPN?
