I meant who gives a crapon the Royals, obviously there are a few exceptions, but most of the time closers can be replaced very easily.
Losing Soria costs the Royals.....maybe 1 game?

Ha, what a dick CJ Wilson is. Haha I thought it was pretty funny, dude is playing lights out right now too so that's why he probably did it.

I don't think closers can be replaced so easily. Lidge broke down the Phils haven't really replaced him until Pap this year. Remains to be seen how that turns out. They've had different guys fill the roll with different amounts of success, but they haven't really had a dominating closer like Lidge was for one year. So, I think losing Soria costs the Royals more than just one game. You are right though that it doesn't matter. The team is going to lose this year anyway.

And the Phillies have been a rudderless disaster since they lost Lidge too right?

Who would you have taken #1 if not Miggy? Even though Miggy sucks in the field, hes still gonna hit 320/40/120 He is amazing. Bautista

Also, Joakim Soria was not their best reliever last year.
Not a big deal, big deal because they cant trade him, but not a big deal overall

What was the last team to win a WS without a closer? Every team has a closer, thats why they are called closers. So the answer is "Every World Series winner has a closer" Jason ing Motte was the closer for the Cardinals, guy was a non prospect, mop up reliever coming up. You arent winning this one Drama Debby

Royals weren't making the playoffs with or without Soria anyways. And, as Ralpho pointed out, he wasn't even their best reliever last season.

At least the Royals have Tim Collins and all of his awkward pitching glory.
