Ryan Shealy: Where is he now?

Note - Shealy was kind enough to suffer through a 3-day long game of phone tag to talk to me, just because I asked. He really is good people. Also, sorry about the wonky formatting on the post.
-------------------------
"[The Royals] did what they felt was necessary, what they felt was going to help them win," Shealy said. "With that said, I know that, if I was given the opportunity, that I could produce at that level, too. [Moore] did whatever he thought was best for the team, which he should do, but in my heart I know that if given the chance I could perform."

Where in the World is Kyle Farnsworth?

Kyle Farnsworth didn't make his scheduled appearance in Omaha last night, and no one knows why. The Rookies have come up with some theories.

(P.S. Maybe I made that photo illustration. Maybe I didn't.)

Porcus makes an offering to Billy in hopes of a big hit. It didn't work that AB (Billy flied out), but perhaps this can help in the future when we need a rally to give the Royals a smaller margin of defeat?

The Curse of the Home Run Derby

Chuck Knoblockhead of The Rookies takes a look at the so-called Home Run Derby Curse, and whether players who make it far in the Derby are more or less likely to suffer in the 2nd half than those who are knocked out in the first round.

Tug Hulett called up?

Yes, he has been called up again, according to Mrs. Disco. Anyone else heard this yet?

Disco to Omaha! Disco to Omaha!

Disco to Omaha! Disco to Omaha!

According to KCSP's Greg Schaum, the Royals have promoted reliever Chris 'Disco' Hayes to AAA Omaha. Hayes will join the O-Royals as they embark on their annual 2+ week road trip during the College World Series.

Hayes, 26, was off to a dominating start in his second season at AA Northwest Arkansas, posting a 0.98 ERA in 18 relief appearances, and has only walked six batters all season. He did not allow a single earned run in the month of May.

Hayes will hopefully alleviate some of the frustrating results the Omaha bullpen has created in this past month. The team certainly needs a boost - they've won just seven of their last 30 games, and many of those losses were attributed to the bullpen.

Top 15 MLB blogs...besides Royals Review

This is supposed to be a list of the Top 15 MLB blogs. Several team-specific SB Nation blogs are on the list, but not Royals Review. There's an invitation at the end of the post to make suggestions as to which blogs should have been included, so go make an argument for Royals Review! We were snubbed!
