KU Women play at 6:30 (central) in the NCAA Tourney!
The women deserve our support too. Unless I've missed it, I haven't seen one mention of them finally making it back to the tourney. It's been a while for the girls.
Baseball's Information Age - ESPN's look at the effect of video data on the game.
I thought this was a really great read. I also was curious if anyone has seen our players toting around iPads or something of the sort. I have a sneaking suspicion the answer is no, which is quite disheartening. I wish we could have Joe Maddon so badly... he could GM & manage, or hell, just GM!
How far are the Royals from contending in the near-future?
I've noticed a lot of pessimism about the possibility of contending in the future, and I think a lot of it comes from an unrealistic understanding of what we need. Here I'm going to take a look at what normally wins the AL Central, what we currently have to work with, and what we would need to acquire to get there.
Please note, this is NOT a projection of what WILL happen. It's an attempt to gauge what would NEED to happen for the Royals to be successful. Whether we think it can be done or not is up for debate from there.

Greinke quotes - Pre-first game back.
I know everyone says he's a clubhouse cancer and all now, but I still think its funny.
The best quotes from the article, including a crack from Braun, involve Greinke cutting his long hair back to the buzz cut.
"My hair kept getting in my eyes," Greinke said. "I couldn't find a headband that I liked."
Cubs trade for Garza
Surprised to not see anything about this yet. Somebody interested in putting up a fanshot comparing the haul with what we got from Texas Milwaukee for Greinke Betancourt?
Royals add two more OBP machines - Neyer
A nice piece expressing our views by Rob Neyer. Maybe we could make a scrapbook of these and send it to Glass?
Opening Day Roster & Lineup 2011
At this point of the season there isn't much to do other than get ready for next year, right? And with that in mind, who I want to see on the roster and in the opening day lineup next year.
Via Jayson Stark: Meanwhile in KC, keep hearing #Royals have made no headway on deals for Guillen, Farnsworth, Bloomquist, Bannister, etc.
Clarifying the Process
I think this will clarify some of the confusion regarding the process. Credit where credit is due, someone linked this over on Rany's comments.
RCT League Setup
Ok, so I have a few suggestions for the RCT fantasy league moving forward. I’m interested to see what people think.
Nickelback Renaming Idea
So I believe it was Denver who wanted to rename the nickelback position, for various reasons(cough, the band, cough) and it seemed that there was some support for the idea. I had an idea for the name and couldn't find the thread that had the earlier ideas in it, so I thought I would start one up here. Everyone should post their ideas and then maybe rockchalk could set up a poll of the best name. And without further ado, my idea is...
Castille gone.
Wow. Anyone know what he did to be dismissed?
