I am a Royals and Cubs fan. Growing up we ate, slept, & breathed baseball. It was Cubs on WGN most afternoons and a lot of Royals games each evening. Saturday's were filled with the "Baseball Bunch" followed by "This Week in Baseball" after which we would assemble in the vacant double lot across the street for a game that would be called due to darkness or dinner, whichever came first. As I grew older the Saturdays would be replaced with actual games, many times as part of a multi day tournament in some town or city somewhere in the Great Plains. All of this being said, I am thrilled to fire up my MLB At-Bat App once gain. At the end of May my wife and I will be taking the trip Chicago to watch the Royals and Cubs with friends. Anytime a guy can take a trip with the wife and friends to watch baseball is a good time.“Losers Average Losers.” ― Paul Tudor Jones

That will be a fun trip. I've always wanted to go to Wrigley.The Assman

I'm not yet sure what to expect from KC. There are a lot of "ifs" that will be the difference between winning the division and finishing third.
- Will the combination of Volquez and steps forward by Duffy and Ventura compensate for the loss of Shields?
- Will Guthrie and Vargas take steps backward?
- Can the bullpen duplicate their dominance?
- Will Rios and Morales have bounce-back seasons?
- Will Hosmer and Moose improve at least a little on last season's mediocre numbers?
- Can Cain and Infante stay healthy enough to play 140+ games?

- Yes, but more because of Ventura and Duffy than Volquez
- hard to see them not doing so
-Rios, yes. kendry's no(Butler was bad last year though)
-already done it two years in a row; why not 3?
- Hosmer yes, Moose meh
- Cain absolutely, infante may play 140 but will be ineffictive due to injury
88 wins and a WC Spot. Let's go Royals!

Red Sox and Royals both had great opening days.
Mets beat the Nationals (supposed best roster in baseball). Toronto looked good with their remade roster against the Yanks.
I'll be interested in seeing the rest of the Cubs/Cardinals series.

Hosmer starts out the year as undisciplined as ever. If he could hold up and not swing at bad pitches (it's like he decides to swing before the pitch), he would draw some walks, and see better pitches. He will never be a hitting superstar and will remain an average hitter until he solves this problem. At some point, Yost needs toove him lower in the order (6 or 7).
