KC Longball: Bye Bye Mizzou
http://douglongball.blogspot.com/2011/09/bye-bye-mizzou.html
Friday, September 30, 2011. But as some have questioned how the Big 12 conference can go on if Missouri leaves, I think the question that has to be asked is how can conference stability be gained if Missouri STAYS. But if the league goes forward WITH Missouri, you know that this cycle will never end. Every year, it’s going to come up again. Where does Missouri want to go now? If they finally catch on somewhere else, will everybody be scrambling to find a new home (again)? There was an error in this gadget.

KC Longball: Ah, When Mike was Healthy.......
http://douglongball.blogspot.com/2011/06/ah-when-mike-was-healthy.html
Friday, June 10, 2011. Ah, When Mike was Healthy. With the forthcoming promotion of Moose Tacos, who (if he stayed with the Royals for his career, which he will not, so this is a moot point) has the potential to hit for more power than any Royal in history, I’ve been playing around with a few stats over lunch. Man, is it easy to forget how good of a hitter Mike Sweeney was, before he was reduced to a huddled mass on a gurney. BY A SLIM MARGIN. Brett’s batting average for that period is nearly ident...

KC Longball: February 2011
http://douglongball.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 24, 2011. The Conspiracies Are Bigger In Texas. Big 12 fans appear to be in for an exciting finish to league play, with the final two byes for the conference tournament basically still up for grabs. More on that in a moment. BUT FIRST. I have to cry foul. Somebody has to. The Big 12 Conference is trying its darnedest to GIVE. The basketball conference championship to Texas. Believe it or not, Kansas is NOT. Is CURRENTLY at 131. On the flip side, the fewest free throws any team has allo...

KC Longball: January 2011
http://douglongball.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. The White Era Fades To Black. The GREAT news (which was also part of the problem, apparently) is that Frank will continue to call Royals’ games on TV as a part of the Fox Sports broadcast team. It’s actually his commitment to Fox that made the Royals back away from Frank—they complained that his responsibility to the network caused him to miss too many of the public appearances he’s required to make as a part of his contract. But as a pathetic fan, I am all-in for our future, an...

KC Longball: The Power of One Pitcher
http://douglongball.blogspot.com/2011/09/power-of-one-pitcher.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2011. The Power of One Pitcher. The Royals might be looking to trade to get a #1 or #2 type pitcher, and you have to ask the question what difference that one pitcher could make for a team currently sitting at 71-89. Well, when you break it down……quite a bit, actually. You have to start with the premise that the Royals are a pretty GOOD. Offensive team. They are, and they are getting better all the time. They appear set to finish 6. In the league, despite their 11. The Royals dedic...

KC Longball: March 2011
http://douglongball.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 31, 2011. Hitting while plugging up the 2-spot, and NOT. Throwing anybody out from behind the plate. But he’s durable. Or was durable, anyway. Now the Royals have traded for Matt Treanor*, and May’s future with Kansas City is severely in doubt—he has no options, and as far as I know, the Royals may have cut him already. For the life of me, I cannot understand this move. 8220;Cut the sucker.”. Why Kendall is on this team is WAY beyond me. We’re not on the hook for THAT much salar...But ins...

KC Longball: Give Wilson a Chance
http://douglongball.blogspot.com/2011/06/give-wilson-chance.html
Friday, June 3, 2011. Give Wilson a Chance. Article from June 2 was very entertaining. Provided some info that supported his thoughts that Gordon is for real and Francoeur’s resurgence is not. Also pointed out that, at least to this point in the season, Gordon is the undisputed best left fielder in the American League. In a sense, that’s a back-handed compliment, because the quality of left fielders in the. Is not what it once was. BUT….now for a couple of my own thoughts on the Royals…. And once again, ...

KC Longball: State of Frustration
http://douglongball.blogspot.com/2011/01/state-of-frustration.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. I don’t watch anything on live TV. I got a job, a wife, and a bunch of wily animals running around the barnyard—and most of those are my own offspring. I need TV to be on MY TIME. Enter the DVR—easily the greatest technological advancement since the assembly line. But even that still has its limits. So they can show the STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS! I got a little lucky, though. Way up in the 400s somewhere, Dish was showing the game on one of their extra channels (the same...
