Looks like there is reason for optimism this season. The experts have us winning somewhere between 70-76 games. Here's to a successful season that will keep us interested into August.

I think we've got a great chance to finish ahead of the Twins. I expect the Indians to win the division and maybe we could get fairly close to the White Sox.

Royals down 3-2 top 6.

Alex Gordon on pace to hit 162 home runs this season.

Butt Fugly · March 31, 2008, 03:27:20 PM

4-4 In the 11th.

COYR (Come on you Royals)

JavaCat · March 31, 2008, 03:30:55 PM

They take the lead baby! Now, can Soria keep it?

JavaCat · March 31, 2008, 03:47:47 PM

Royals win! Royals win!

steve dave · March 31, 2008, 03:55:52 PM

Out in front of the entire AL at this stage in the season. Not bad imo.

catsfan20052006 · March 31, 2008, 04:06:09 PM

If we could find a way to steal another one in Detroit we've got some winnable games in Minnesota before we come home and have to play the Yankees. All of that plus another series with Minnesota after the Yankees series could lead to a great start.

On pace to go 162-0. Just sayin'.

Gave up 2 hits to Renteria today, no walks, what a slacker.

2-0

and it feels soooo good.

catsfan20052006 · April 02, 2008, 09:42:57 PM

Gotta love the Bannister lovefest they just had on BBTN

jeffy · April 02, 2008, 11:53:01 PM

Please.... Stop the season now!!!

catdude33 · April 03, 2008, 08:27:54 AM

The last, and only time the Royals swept a season opening series on the road was 1977...at Detroit.

catsfan20052006 · April 03, 2008, 09:21:05 AM

That year they won 102 games and the AL West. All we have to do is go 100-60 the rest of the way. But seriously.....I'd settle for a measly 79-81. Surely we can play .494 ball the rest of the way.

catdude33 · April 03, 2008, 11:04:29 AM

For now I'm going to stick with my preseason prediction of 76-86.

3rd game and Tigger fans are booing Gordon's homerun. "God@#$%!$#%! how the !#$!$ are we losing to the Royals!" Sad but funny.

100% of his hits are homers.

Anybody have some Miguel Cabrera fat jokes?

150 million dollar contract, that's a lot of Krispy Kremes.

<-- my fantasy team

Royals 3-0.

1st in the Central.

1st in the entire American League.

Only 159 to go. Remember Royals, this is a marathon and not a sprint. I hope they're not sprinting already.

The key is to sprint the entire way

It makes me think of 03 and "Nosotros Creemos", or the failed attempt to recapture magic in a bottle with "Juntos Podemos" the next season.

So in honor of Trey Hillman bringing us his baseball prowess from the land of the rising sun:

BLUE & GOLD FIRST PITCH: University of Missouri head football coach Gary Pinkel will deliver a special video message to fans, while Mark Mangino, head football coach at the University of Kansas, has the honor of tossing out the first pitch.

I'd rather see Mangino race Ketchup and Mustard around the bases.
