Who's to blame for the losing streak?

First let me start off by saying that I have nothing groundbreaking to say here, I don't know why the Royals are playing like third graders and I don't know how to fix it-I'm just here to vent. So here is my list of people to blame for the streak.

1. Mark Teahen: 2-20 with 0 extra base hits, 1 RBI, and 7 walks. Teahen is a big guy (6'3" and 210 pounds) yet he has only 10 Extra base hits in 173 at bats. The Royals can not get that kind of production from a corner outfielder and get away with it.

2. Tony Pena jr: 3-21 with 0 extra base hits, 0 RBI, and 0 walks. I love the guys defense like everybody else but his production offensively is a real problem for this team.

3. Billy Butler: 4-26 with 0 extra base hits, 0 RBI, and 0 walks. The league has made their adjustments now it's up to Butler to counter. The kid is just to big to not drive the ball.

4. Mike Barnett: The Royals hitting instructor has to take some of the blame for the terrible production. The Royals are last in runs scored, home runs, and RBI. 26th in OBP and 29th in SLG.

5. Brian Bannister: He has had only 1 start during this streak but he has been pretty bad since the middle of April going 1-6, allowing 5 or more runs in 4 of those games.

6. Trey Hillman: Can you really blame the manager for a bad streak? As a fan, you bet I can. Hillman needs to instill some of his toughness on this team. Tony Musers' statement about a cookies and milk team has never fit any better. Marcum hit 3 batters Monday, nobody seemed to take offense.

7. Brett Tomko: Tomko has shown flashes of being decent this year but you wont find any evidence of that in his last 2 starts. 0-2, 10.1 IP allowing 11 ER.

8. Ross Gload: 1-11 with 0 extra-bats hits, 0 RBI, and 3 SO. So he hasn't played much but when he has he has been awful. "IchiGload" still hasn't seen a pitch he won't swing at.

9. Dayton Moore: Moore has gotten a lot of passes from fans and media but he needs to make a few roster moves to shake things up. If you aren't going to play like a Major Leaguer then you don't deserve to be on the 25-man roster.

10. Luke Hochaver: 0-2 in 12 innings, he has allowed 12 runs (8 earned) on 11 hits and 10 walks. Hochaver has pitched well, his only glaring problem is his walks. He allows far to many men on base and some bad defense has allowed those men to score.
