Yesterday's comments by Scott Elarton, Doug Mientkiewicz and Matt Stairs must have resonated. Before today's game, the Royals held a "players only" meeting, and Buddy Bell spoke to the press about roster shake ups. Bell didn't name names, but he did indicate that some players would be on their way out because he felt they didn't care or were too comfortable with losing.
Bell explained that the problem they have is that the Royals just don't have enough depth to just ship guys out, so they are working on a plan to back fill the roster.
Angel Berroa sat out tonight, for the second time in three games, to get some "rest," according to Bell.
All of this talk isn't working though. As I type this, the Royals are down 8-0 in the 6th. Jeremy Affeldt's not pitching well, but the offense isn't doing anything either; they have just one hit. Yet another pitcher that nobody's heard of (Justin Verlander of the Tigers) pitched 3 innings of perfect, no-hit ball against the Royals. Oh, and the Royals have committed an error to complete the trifecta of ineptitude.
Let's go get 'em.
