Kansas City Star — Perhaps Kansas’ women’s basketball team can look at a difficult season this way: The “basketball gods” never close one door without opening another.

But their absence — Goodrich was hurt Jan. 13 and McCray Feb. 4 — has meant other Jayhawks had to step in to take up the scoring load.

A year later, it’s pretty easy to see what happened. Collins made six of 20 shots, including four of 12 from three-point range, and turned the ball over a team-high five times. Cole Aldrich shot the ball just five times, had eight points and finished with one blocked shot. When the Jayhawks of a year ago didn’t get Collins and Aldrich’s best or close to it, they were very beatable. So they lost 71-64 to the Bears and boarded a b...

Kansas City Royals 11 hours agoKansas City Star — SURPRISE, Ariz. | It’s no surprise the Royals had veteran outfielder Scott Podsednik near the top of their free-agent wish list in the offseason. Very simply, they wanted Podsednik to do to others what he’s done to them. “He sees a lot of pitches,” manager Trey Hillman said in launching into a litany. “He gets into a two-strike count, and he has the ability, because of his approach and his mechanics, of being able to spoil a nasty pitch to get to the next pitch.
Kansas City Royals March 9, 2010Kansas City Star — A dramatic comeback by the Royals in the ninth inning Tuesday afternoon — albeit somewhat gift-wrapped — failed to hide the inability by either Robinson Tejeda or Kyle Davies to step forward in their battle for a spot in the rotation. The Royals pulled out an 11-10 victory over an Oakland split-squad at Surprise Stadium by scoring twice in the final inning. The winning run scored with two outs when Oakland first baseman Dallas McPherson failed to corral Vance Wilson’s wind-blown pop-up. It was the only time the Royals led all game.
