Bounce back from what? Once he got on track in mid-May he was better than Greinke. I'm not too worried about the pitching staff and the offense should be much improved when you take into account Alex Gordon's second half (a rise in OBP correlates with a soon to come rise in power). The Royals are still a year away, but they're making more progress than people want to believe. The thing to keep in mind is that when Dayton Moore took over in 2006, he was essentially taking over an expansion team. They were that bad. While fans are understandably frustrated by the 23 years of rebuilding, you have to discount everything before GMDM came on board and look at it as year two of a new plan, a better plan.

We're all going to have to learn how to spell Ka’aihue. And it's going to be a very bumpy ride. Let’s face it. We’re all going to have to learn how to spell Ka’aihue.
