Texas Rangers vs Kansas City Royals

You know, I am shocked.

Quote
Rangers 2008 first-round pick Justin Smoak belted a three-run homer, and Texas topped the Kansas City Royals, 5-3, in Cactus League action.

Michael Young and Jarrod Saltalamacchia each drove in a run for Texas. Kevin Millwood started and pitched three scoreless innings, allowing only two hits and a walk while striking out two.

Newly-acquired Coco Crisp went 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Royals. Brian Bannister allowed two runs on three hits in three innings pitched, and Daniel Cortes received the loss after giving up the home run to Smoak in the seventh.

I go to various message boards of various baseball teams, and they're congested with comments, especially those message boards for America's team, the New York Yankees.

But I go to message boards of the Kansas City Royals, and there are zero, zilch, nada, comments left by fans.

It gets pretty lonely, being the only fan in the world, of the Kansas City Royals.

Rangers, sucka! Salty is showing some life. He needs to make sure that Laird trade pays off by manning the plate 75% of the games.

As I see it, Coach, the Royals have three fairly decent starting pitchers.  Gil Meche, at the top of the rotation, I have seen described as someone who be a 20-game winner (with another team), his stuff is that good.  Zack Greinke is a young guy with some pretty good stuff, and Kyle Davies could blossom into something.  The closer, Joakim Soria, was mentioned in the offseason as being sought after by the Mets if they didn't get K-Rod, so he's got good stuff, too.  Juan Cruz is a decent setup guy to get to Soria.  Robinson Tejeda was someone that the Orioles didn't want, but the O's are in the brutal AL East, so that might have something to do with it.  The one glaring weakness that I can see is the lack of LHPs.  One starter, Horatio Ramirez (who will be the #5 starter), and one reliever, Ron Mahay.  Not good.  Then again, I'm not sure who the premier LH batters are in the AL Central.
