this team seems like it goes out of it's way to lose games this year.

nobody on that team seems to care if they win or lose at all.

there idea of a streak is a lose streak.

there owership is by far the worst in sports.


i think that they are by far the worst team in MLB history, even surpassing the 62 mets and 2003 tigers team.

[bigboydan]

at the rate there going right now, they will be lucky to win 40 games.

Here's my synopsis: 6-0 after 1 inning. Loser...... how in the world did that happen? The answer is: they are the Royals. It is never going to get better until ownership changes there. What a nightmare......

I heard on espn earlier that the average age of the players is 29. If it were 25/26 then they might have a future, but the current team is just too old. This team is gonna be in disrepair for many years to come.

[onlooker]

I think Reggie Sanders screws that age average up himself. Is he not right behind Franco in age?

Rumors going around that KC might be getting a shot at Atlanta assistant GM Dayton Moore to replace Royals GM Allard Baird. Unconfirmed at this time, reported by the KC Star and ProSportsDaily.com...

By Bob Dutton / The Kansas City Star --- The Royals have received permission to interview Dayton Moore, a Braves official, in connection to the promise by owner David Glass to enact “significant changes” within the club’s front office.

Moore, 39, is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the Braves’ scouting and player development in his role as the assistant general manager for baseball operations.

The Star has learned from multiple sources that Glass spent Wednesday in Atlanta, presumably to discuss the possibility of hiring Moore to replace Allard Baird as the Royals’ general manager and to spearhead an overhaul in the club’s front office.

Moore is generally considered a strong candidate to become a general manager in the near future. He interviewed last winter for the vacancy in Boston before Theo Epstein returned. The new ownership group in Washington, which includes former Atlanta president Stan Kasten, is likely to consider Moore if it chooses to fire Jim Bowden.

Efforts to contact Glass and Moore were unsuccessful.

For now, Baird continues to serve as the Royals’ general manager, but Glass has made no effort to stem rampant speculation that a change is imminent. Sources also contend Glass previously discussed the anticipated opening with another Braves official, Frank Wren, the club’s vice president and assistant general manager for player personnel.

Wren, 47, is in his sixth season as an assistant to Atlanta general manager John Schuerholz. Wren spent 1999 as the Orioles’ general manager and previously worked for the Marlins and Expos. Glass first promised changes May 4 when the Royals were 5-20.

“I’m out of patience,” he said at the time. “I have never been this frustrated. I’ve got to do something. This can’t continue.”

The Royals dropped to 10-34 with a 6-3 loss to the Tigers at Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday night.

Glass reiterated last weekend that he remained committed to instituting changes but cautioned that he would not be “stampeded” into making the wrong decision.

“There’s a process you’ve got to go through,” he said. “It gets dragged out, and it’s slow. But making the right decision is a lot more important than the timing.”

Moore is a native of Wichita who joined the Braves in 1994 as a scout. He later served as an assistant director of scouting, assistant director of player development and director of international scouting before his promotion in 2002 to director of player personnel development.

Moore moved to his current post in August 2005.

I may apply for that GM spot if it becomes available....I am not sure it pays well enough though.

[Illusion]

They need to start somewhere I guess. This team needs a major makeover.

[bigboydan]

the royals need to fire there whole upper management.

[TexAg001]

Isnt the owner David Glass a former Walmart CEO? He should have enough cash to atleast not suck so bad. What are they doing with all the money from the Yanks and Red Sox?

[TexAg001]

By the way. For Carlos Beltran they received a catcher that is just now starting to break the 250 average mark and a third basemen thats now back in triple A that has the abillity to hit about as many homeruns as AC green has had sexual partners in his life. Not a good deal in hindsight....

[hanco21]

Up 3-0 vs the Yankees in the 3rd. I think today is the day they break that losing streak. Knock on wood.

[hanco21]

You can get the Yankees at even money at tradesports right now.

[BuddyBear]

They've been close...could have easily taken 3 out of 4 from DET...at the very least should have split the series.

This could be a team with a lot of value in the 2nd half of the season if they get it going...

[Illusion]

I hope so BB. Once they do get going I will start hammering those reverse runlines.

[bigboydan]

there goes there 1 game winning streak

[Illusion]

You knew after Fridays loss the Yankees would come out firing.

[bigboydan]

you gotta feel sorry for the royals to some degree though. after they play the yankees tomorrow. they have to travel out to oakland for a 3 game series.

i know oakland is really struggling, and they did have sweep them last time they played out in oakland. i just don't see that happening again this time around though.
