@jazayerliThe Royals had the best bullpen ERA (min: 60 IP) in April (1.02) in major league history, breaking the record set by the 1992 Astros (1.12).

ok, i like the royals just fine and the all-star game doesn't mean all that much anyway but it is kiiiind of ridiculous that royals are #1 or top 3 in voting for all AL positions
like not just perez and cain...we're talkin almost 1.5 million people thus far w/ a month left of voting who want to see omar infante start at 2nd

@McCulloughStarWhen Ned Yost played in the minors, he taped pictures of Dusty Rhodes to his locker. He spent part of yesterday watching old Dusty videos.

Seeing David Price's niece in a Blue Jay cap of course made me rethink everything, and now I'm 100% in favour of the trade.

A few hours' perspective, and 1) I've probably gone from paying no attention to minor-league prospects to overrating their value/chances, and 2) as Wilner says (I do like him), it's done, forget about the forest, enjoy the trees for the next two months.
Bautista supposedly would not comment on the Price trade today because he was upset that his comments about the Tulowitzki trade were taken out of context.

Who's your AL MVP?
@keithlaw Still Donaldson what about Kendrys? Without him Royals probably aren't in first place right now.
@keithlaw They're 11 games up. You could have replaced him with a slime mold and they'd still be in first place.
