Where are all the Royals fans?
3/1/06, 5:19pm
Wow, not many Royals fans around here. I know the last few years have been rough, what with three 100-loss seasons in the last four years. Despite that, the Royals are still my boys. I'm hoping they can surprise some people this year. The additions made in the offseason should improve the team. I like our new infield with Mientkiewicz and Grudzielanek joining Berroa and Teahen. I think those two veterans on the right side will really help out our younger players on the left side, and our young pitchers. With Elarton and Redman in to pitch some innings, our bullpen shouldn't get overused. And the lineup appears to be improved too. I don't expect to catch the defending champion White Sox this year, but I do expect some improvement and hopefully a chance to compete in 2007 or 2008 when Billy Butler and Alex Gordon work their way onto the team.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a displaced Royals fan, now located in Indianapolis. No ML team here, but there is the AAA Indianapolis Indians (farm team for the Pirates, I believe; it used to be Milwaukee, but I think it changed last year), who have a very nice minor league stadium. I try to get to as many games as I can, and usually make a couple trips to KC every year to see some games at the K.
