Can we start over?
Welcome to KCSportsPod… KCSportsChat.com! That’s right, we changed our domain and our look (a little). But calm down, I know all two of you are dedicated podcast listeners, so the podcast won’t go away, it will just focus on quality and not quantity. Now our focus is more geared for providing a community for live sporting events related to Kansas City. Things like Royals Opening Day, the NFL Draft, Sporting KC versus Europe, and other significant events. We know how much it sucks when MLB GameDay lags at work and you can’t get a radio signal. Or when you live on a small island in the Pacific and no one is a Chiefs fan to ask about the latest news. We’ve got you covered.
Here’s how you can participate:
Let the games begin.
It’s that time of the year again. 4-day weekends of college basketball (Yes!), zero productivity at work (Oh, you know it!), trash talking galore (Boom!), and finding out that Northern Iowa has a basketball team (Jigga-What?). Yes, a great time to watch 64 teams play 63 games in 4 weeks of full-court-orgy-madness. But the NCAA said, “Forget that! We are going to add 4 more teams in their own round and call it the ‘First Four’ sucka!”. Like it or not, this is going to be an extra dose of amateur athletics to easy the pain before watching 6 months of AAAA baseball. Enjoy it while it last.
We know what you like and that’s why we are here. Stay away from those free boring office pools that the guy in IT wins and says, “I’ve never won anything before in my life” (repeatedly). Lame.

Ichiro is exactly right! The Royals will be the hottest team in August and will go 20 and 9 vaulting them into first place in the AL Central.

Or not…
Bellwether took some great screen shots of Hillman’s ‘stache tonight… and it was glorious. He looks like Soda Popinski.
Best news I’ve heard yet.
Teahen on the trading block (protected) according to Gammons. Thanks MLBTR.
I’ve been calling this for years, but it has taken the Royals too long to figure it out. Mark Teahen is a Major League player, but his mediocarcy and overhyped ability in key positions is killing this Royals team. If he came up in any other organization he would of been in AAA, refining his approach at the plate and figuring out what kind of hitter he is. Instead, he was called up way too early and put into 3 and 4 spots in the lineup based on potenital and a freakish half season of power. His hitting approach is inconsistant laughable at times. Swinging early to prevent getting in a 0-2 count. Also, swinging at anything inside because a lack of knowldge of the inside strikezone. How many times do we have to see Teahen strikeout with the bases loaded this year? He’s 0 for 6 in those situations and batting .242 in RISP overall. He’s not an RBI machine, but a perfect 7 or 8 hitter for the Boston Redsox or Altana Braves. It would be sad to see him excel with another team, but the comments made about how “valuable” he is to the team for the different positions he played for the Royals, is a cover-up for saying “you just don’t hit good enough to secure your own spot”.
These Royals players need to be accountable too, as Dayton has said in the past. Mark Teahen has progressive got worse in every batting statistic, except homeruns, since 2006. He is making $3,575,000 this year. I don’t think his hussle and sarcastic jokes make up for that.
This series versus the “weakest-division-NL-Central” St. Louis Cardinals is uber important. But with a Royals god-awful offense that hits better with nobody on-base (.249) than the bases loaded (.167), figure that one out, we pray that Pujols hits solo shots and not with the bases juiced. Though it seems that the Royals have a slight advantage with tonight’s game. MLB.com Gameday Preview is quoted as saying,
“Wellemeyer’s struggles remain a puzzling problem for the Cardinals…”
The reason this is an advantage for the Royals is because they know he sucks (ie. 2007) and the Cards still think he’s going to throw under a 4.00 ERA. But he’ll probably throw a non-hitter now that I said that.
