Royals Review

Brian Bannister may be the latest Royal to have his season end prematurely due to injury. Yes, those terribly unlucky Royals just can't catch a break! I'm stunned that one of the most retrograde teams in the game would have a worn down pitching staff by September.

Gil Meche would like to thank anger. Nobody likes to be angry, of course. But what choice is there when you’re the team’s highest-paid pitcher, the opening day starter, and you last just 2 1/3 innings, like Meche did in a Memorial Day start against the Detroit...

The Disasters That are MLB Salaries
With all this money being thrown around, shouldn't baseball stop and re-evaluate its salary system? Not that an arm like Zito's isn't worth every penny of the $80 million he will warrant, but should aging veterans such as Moises Alou be earning $8 million this year to play...
