Tension? Seriously people- how can they be tense, they have NOWHERE to go but up. I mean- it's not like they're gonna be worse... Cellar dwellar threads always make me wonder how slow the day is in sports...

didn't know that the Royals had a clubhouse, i thought they got ready in the potajohns outside the stadium.

Guillen seems to cause issues wherever he goes.

A special set of rules for Jose Guillen? Seriously? Jose Guillen?

this begs the question. If a tree falls in the forest......................?

Who cares howmuch tension there is in KC's dugout.They're the armpit of the American League.

royals= montreal expos without the talent , eliminate this pathetic franchise once and for all .

I am from KC and grew up loving the Royals. I am 25 years old and am sad to say that I remember only one winning season (2003). Before you beat up on our team too bad, please remember that the fans have been held hostage by their cheap owner. Mr. Always Low Prices, Always, former Walmart President David Glass grew up a die hard Cardinals fan and is cheap. I noticed Yankee fan chirped in... How would you like it if a Mets fan bought your team and didn't spend any money for talent & ran the team like Walmart. Its terrible here. Do you think we like being the butt of jokes? We used to be a respectable franchise and had a strong rivalry with the Yankees. I hear Cubs fans crying for Mark Cuban to buy their team, but if Cuban really wants to help a city in need, he'll buy the Royals and save our city. The Chiefs could go 0-16 this year, the Royals are just sad and we're trying hard to get a NHL team (with absolutely no luck). Its been a rough 25 years to be a KC fan. Have pity on us.

I'm wondering how I'm gonna make my next mortgage payment - now that's tension !!!

Guillen is just a self centered player. When he was over here with the Angels even Scioscia had problems with him, until he finally had suspend him for the last week of the season, and postseason. Too bad to it left Vladdy unprotected in the lineup in the playoffs. Now that he has become unproductive I just hope he gets cut, and never wears his 12th or 13 uniform.

You're 100% right about the Royals being a once proud organization. As a Met fan growing up in the late 70s, my baseball season usually ended in late July because my team was pitiful. I had to listen to the Yankee fans brag all summer about Munson, Reggie, and Guidry.
Once the play-offs would start, I'd become a huge Royal fan because they were all that stood between me and another long winter of Yankee fan abuse.
They had great teams with Brett, Patek, Wilson, and the guy with the toothpick (Aiken?) and the coolest stadium in the majors.
It really is sad how far they've fallen because of their inability to manage a franchise with 1/10 the payroll of the Yankees....like the Rays and Twins have been able to do.
