Happy 4th of July everyone!
A couple news items, a few notes, and some links to digest and enjoy.
Last night it became official. The Kansas City Royals have signed Nicaraguan 3B prospect Cheslor Cuthbert to a signing bonus between $1 million and $1.5 million. I have seen differing reports on the actual bonus. A commenter from [...]

Last week, Rany Jazayerli, blogger and baseball propeller-head of note, went after longtime Royals trainer Nick Swartz, stopping just shy of ripping out the man's heart and waving it at the sun. The team didn't take this so well. Jazayerli, who describes himself as a "dermatologist by day, baseball writer by night, pathetic Royals fan all the time," is no mere fan...

Zack Greinke is, by many measurements, the best pitcher in baseball this season. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, in town for a series against the Royals, is just one of many who’ve said that repeatedly. Today, around noon or so, we should hear what’s been expected in Kansas City for a few months now: that Greinke will represent the Royals in next week’s All-Star game.

Don’t look for catcher Miguel Olivo to surrender playing time, at least initially, when John Buck rejoins the Royals from the disabled list. Olivo took advantage of regular playing time in June to produce one of the best months of his career — batting .295 with club-leading totals of eight homers and 17 RBIs. His .692 slugging percentage was the highest among any American...

Alberto Callaspo got his fourth RBI in two days and Miguel Olivo hit a two-run homer to help the Kansas City Royals beat the White Sox 6-3 on Sunday for a split of their four-game series. Callaspo, who had three RBIs in a 6-4 win on Saturday, also cost KC a run with the kind of shaky defense which has led to his collecting 10 errors at second base this year. But Brian Bannister ...

Callaspo hit an RBI triple off Gavin Floyd (6-6) in the fifth for Kansas City's first run in 13 innings. His two-run single off Matt Thornton in the fifth made...

These are the sorts of things you think about when it’s early July, and you’re watching a dead team that has BOTH Luis Hernandez and Tony Pena in the same lineup. Where’s Tug Hulett?
Here is a little thought experiment … the Royals have a preposterously bad lineup out there on this Friday night, I mean [...]

Zack Greinke at his April best probably isn't good enough Friday to overcome the Royals' white-flag attack. And he was far from his April best. Not bad, really. Just not April. And not nearly good enough to halt the Royals' free fall, which accelerated further in a 5-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox.

Neither the A's nor the Giants will look back at the Fourth of July 20 years ago as a particularly memorable day. The A's were blasted by the Kansas City Royals 10-1 to see their lead fall to a half-game in the American League West.
