Congrats to the Royals for not finishing dead last for the fifth straight year!! The Royals broke the streak by having a great September in which they did not quit and with that gained my respect. The Royals were 18-8 in September and had great starting pitching. Greinke, Meche and Kyle Davies each went 4-1. The Royals helped play spoiler for the Twins and ChiSox. Ryan Shealy had a monster September also hitting .301 with 7 HRs and 20 RBI. Looks like Shealy finally lived up to the hype. The Tigers, who were predicited to score over 1000 runs, had the misfortune of being in last place. Royals have some holes but I like where this team is going. If Shealy can maintain his Spetember production, he should have first base locked up next year. A full year of Aviles will help too. Soria is just lights out at the end of the game and gets no love. Bannister fell to shit after a great start to the season. I think he can bounce back though. Royals need to find an OFer, a catcher and a back-end starter. Hopefully they can get 2 of 3. Royals are on the right track and Hillman seems like a good man. Congrats again to the Royals and hopefully they can keep climbing the ladder.
