The former president’s yacht, the USS Williamsburg, has had one tow line in the grave for 20 years, about as long as it has been deteriorating at a shipyard in northern Italy.

After emerging as one of the most dominant setup men in baseball last year, right-hander Kelvin Herrera was sent to Triple-A Omaha by the Royals on Thursday.

This photo has it all, a good shot of the player's profile, some action and a great view of the uniform.

Apparently James Shields is such a dominant force that he not only silences the bats of the other team, but those on his own team as well.

After one week of absence due to SBNation being powered by exclusively by extremely tired hamsters, Royal Ups and Downs triumphantly returns! The Royals have had an equally tough time of late, dropping from 17-12 to 21-22.. Though apparently everything's fine now, and props to the SBNation maintenance staff for not complaining about our instant ... (more)

RHP Jordan Lyles vs. RHP James Shields Houston will once again try to bounce back after the bullpen failed to hold the lead late.

Three years after her brief — but dramatic — turn as the budget-slashing, union-rattling, performance-driving chancellor of the Washington, D.C., public schools, Michelle Rhee still draws a passionately polarized crowd, as demonstrated Wednesday night at the Plaza branch of the Kansas City Public Library.

Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas tied the game with a single in the eighth inning and later scored a run.

Gordon Parks Elementary School can remain open at least through June. A circuit court judge on Tuesday granted a temporary stay sought by the school after state education officials voted last week to pull the school’s charter.

Yoenis Cespedes hit a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning and the Oakland Athletics swept a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals with a 4-3 win.

The Royals trailed 3-0 and couldn't get much going offensively until the seventh when they cut the lead to one on RBI singles by Alcides Escobar and David Lough.

The Royals dropped their fourth game in a row tonight, to the Houston Astros no less, to run their season record to 20-21. Tomorrow's game makes it the 42 game mark, which is an important date in Dayton Moore trivia, because he has never been general manager of a team that has had a winning record after the 41st game of the season.

Were this just one game, one bad game by the Royals, it would be easy enough to shrug off.

After a road trip that culminated with a 1-0 interleague loss in Pittsburgh, the Astros return home and get back to American League rules for the next eight games.

It's safe to say the level of concern over Yoenis Cespedes' recent slump -- he came into Sunday's game with four hits in his last 38 at-bats -- was not high.

Yoenis Cespedes hit a leadoff home run in the eighth inning and the Oakland Athletics beat the Kansas City Royals 4-3 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.

The Royals aren't quite at the quarter pole in their season. Close enough, though.
