As was mentioned earlier the KC is going back up on the back of the Royals Scoreboard. Leave it to the Royals however to make it as cheap looking as possible. Instead of a blue background with the giant white KC, the Royals have gone with a large KC in front of the ugly metal panels. Take a look for yourself. Steven Stewart mentioned today that more than any other question this offseason people have asked him when the KC was going back up behind the scoreboard, so obviously this was something important to Royals fans. Once again the Royals drop the ball.

The Gloves Are Off.

I love it. It was unacceptable for what happened today and I'm glad we have an outlet like Rany to discuss it so quickly. 

That Rany is gone. He’s fed up. He’s watched Trey Hillman make enough dumb decisions with his bullpen (like this one). He watched as Trey Hillman lost the clubhouse, the cardinal sin for any manager, last August before he was rescued by the team’s improbable 18-8 run in September. And he’s decided that whatever Hillman accomplished in Japan, it means absolutely nothing if he can’t perform third-grade math in his head, the kind of math that says the guy with the 2.61 ERA last year is better than the guy with the 4.48 ERA.

The worst part of all this is that we all saw it coming. Every last one of us knew from the moment they read Hillman’s words about keeping Farnsworth in the eighth-inning role that it would cost the Royals dearly at some point. We didn’t know it would be Opening Day, against one of our chief rivals, with the justice meted out by one of our greatest nemeses. But we knew it was coming. With the Royals, no bad decision ever goes unpunished.
