I'm not saying the Royals are going to win the pennant but they certainly have the rotation of a contender. Yes, I know it is still April. But when you have Joe Posnanski on your sports page and writing SI covers every few weeks and 2 pitchers who could contend for the Cy Young (Soria, BTW)... it's just nice to feel this much pride in my city. Great Cover, Joe. Please don't quit the Star or I'll cancel my subscription. You don't want that now, do you?

Or the first mention of Buck O'Neil, whichever came first. Cap doffage to you and The Kid from Tomkinsville. I hope you both keep throwing gems and that we'll be seeing "Greinke vs. Koufax" and "Posnanski vs. Lardner" blogs in some bright future. Joe

You deserve it! But, if Zack falls off even a bit, I'd like to introduce you to Option B for "The Best Pitcher in Baseball." His name is Felix Hernandez. It's going to be fun watching these two young phenoms come into their own this season. Congrats on the cover, Joe. You deserve it!

The last SI photo in the story shows his foot off the rubber before he has released the ball. Is it me, or does Grienke balk when he pitches?

I really like the picture, especially since it shows Zacks back so still nobody will know who he is, haha. Hopefully this will again not be a jinx here Joe as I just added Zack to my fantasy team Congratulations on another cover Joe.

Unless of course being a grown man with a baseball jersey is inherently stupid. But regardless, I feel like I chose well. Also, congrats on another cover, Joe! Can't wait to read it.
