Bell Ill
Buddy Bell is likely out for the rest of the season:
Kansas City Royals manager Buddy Bell is taking a leave of absence to treat a growth discovered near his left tonsil.
The Royals announced the move during the ninth inning of their game against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday night, a game Bell managed.
The 55-year-old Bell will seek a second opinion at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona on Thursday at the direction of his doctor, who found the growth during a routine examination Tuesday.
Let's hope whatever the diagnosis Bell makes a speedy recovery.

The Royals hope the growth can make a speedy recovery and return to its managerial duties with Kansas City quickly and healthily.
Please, please, PLEASE tell me we can hire Joe Girardi. The man should be Manager of the Year and yet is rumored to be fired (yet again).
Here's to wishing Buddy a swift and full recovery.
Girardi would probably do better in KC, with lots of young players, than he would in Chicago.
