First time all year the Royals bullpen has looked shaky. Let's hope our bats can get going, we're down 3-2 in the top of the 7th, Cleveland has runners on 1st and 2nd w/ one out. Farnsworth pitching like crap but he's being replaced.

Don't the Royals have a ton of young talent yet with all the season they finished with really high draft picks?

Well, in baseball "young talent" doesn't seem to be any sort of boost. As soon as they have breakout years, their contract seems to expire and become too expensive to replace.

But I still expect us to finish 2nd in AL Central this year. We have a great 1-2-3 starting pitching in Greinke, Meche, and Davies, and a top-notch bullpen to go with it. Our bats are young but talented, and our defense is above average.

Who do you think is taking first in AL central?

At this point, I'm leaning towards the ChiSox. But I wouldn't count the Indians out yet.

Yeah..Cleveland's pitching squad pitched a rather horrible game today. I hope they can get back on the right track. If you want....read about it (http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2009/04/home_rules_for_new_york_yankee.html)

Yeah I supppose...anyways this weekend the RedSox play the Yankees, who do you think is going to win?

I believe it will be the Yankees, because lately they seem to be able to hit anything that is thrown at them.

It'll depend on the pitching matchups.

Boston beat the Yanks 16-11!!! It was an awesome game to watch, The Boston pitching squad did a pretty good job at keeping the Yanks down, but the Yanks bullpen really lost the game for them. Boston's hitters knocked pitch after pitch off the Yanks bullpen.

What a fun game!!

Manny Ramirez suspended for 50 games for testing positive for an illegal substance, he will be badly missed on the Dodgers, if he is suspended with no delays, he will be able to play end of June to July sometime.
