Lines, bobbleheads, chemistry and general mayhem.

First off, a huge "thank you" to RoyalsRetro for coming up with this idea and all the work it took to make it happen. I enjoyed being a SIMGM® and I would do it again. The sim jobs were...

David Glass has all but guaranteed that the Royals will be spending money on Free Agents this year. In past years, Dayton has been an early (some say premature) spender in the free agent pool. ...

Last year, the Royals had a very generous ticket-exchange program for season ticket holders. This year, not so much. Three big changes have taken place which may cause an overall drop in...

I think this is the last of my forays into TV Market Size/MLB Team Payrolls/Postseason Appearances. Thank you for indulging me in this offseason journey. I have been studying TV Market size, NL...

This post could be subtitled “How the Yankees skew data”. I looked at National League payrolls and postseason appearance here. Now it’s time to do the same for the American League.

In an earlier discussion, I took a look at the correlation between TV Market Size and MLB Club Payroll. An interesting question came up in the comments section. The question was this - Does...

The size of the TV market appears to play a huge role in the amount of money that MLB teams are willing to spend on their payroll. I read a very interesting article on "End of Year" payrolls...

  Here’s a ray of sunshine on a dreary day after the Royals lose their fifth in a row – your Kansas City Royals lead the American League in Don’t Make Outs (DMO)! What is DMO?  It’s a...

Here are the Official Rules of Baseball Fandom (as voted on by loyal RR readers) so far: 1.  To be a fan of baseball, you must enjoy watching baseball. 2.  A real fan can boo his team. 3. ...

The Royals are off tonight, so let's vote on another rule, eh? So far, Rule #1 is at near-unanimous approval (duh, winning!). Rule #2 will most likely not be approved. Rule #3 is too close to...

So far, it looks as though the official list of rules will be pretty short.  Both proposed rule #2 and #3 are currently going down to defeat. Rule #4 is now up for debate.  Here is the proposed...

We are making good progress in defining the "real" rules of "real" fans of baseball. So far, it appears certain that you must enjoy watching baseball, and that booing your own team is OK.  Is...

Has anyone ever told you that you are not a "real" fan of baseball?  Me too.  Did you ever wonder where these rules were posted?  Me too.  Apparently the rules are unwritten, and therefore vary...

  I have been told several times that I am not a “real” fan of the Royals because of various reasons: ·         I don’t boo Johnny Damon ·         I don’t wear enough...

Put this in the “Duh!” category… I was listening to WHB 810 Tuesday afternoon (I know, bad idea). Kevin Keitzman said something like, “most baseball games are won after the 6th inning”. ...

I’ve waited three days, and it’s not going to happen.   Joe Posnanski is not going to write an article about how the Royals are going to win the division.  Joe is a national sports writer...
