For Royals, a little consistency would go a long way Fri Jun 13 11:54:37 2008 EST
(Sports Network) - Nobody expects the Kansas City Royals to win the World Series this year, or even next year or the year after. No, the expectation this year was to win with a little more consistency, maybe reach .500. For an organization so accustomed to losing, the goal was to engrain a winning attitude in the clubhouse. At the very least, to be able to show up to the park every day and expect to play well and win. Well, through the first two months of the season, that shift in mentality has

Hurley, a first-round pick of the Rangers in 2004, has been thrust into action tonight thanks to the departure of Sidney Ponson. Hurley was 2-5 with a 5.30 earned run average in 13 starts for Tr
