Yes, but they had Aviles, who is out for year and Gordon who had hip surgery. Also Soria was out a long time when all the losing started. ALso Crisp is out for the year and John Buck got hurt as well and is out.

Royals had one good month where everybody got excited. Now they are wondering if the team will keep losing at this alarming rate the final 12 weeks.

That's a big DP. Full stadiums are rare, here and they wanted something to go nuts about. They are ALL staying for the fireworks show. Nice job Liney and the D.

You were joking, right?

C'mon Danksie. Only 99 pitches so far.

Time to minimize the damage.

Dropped the ball?

It's French's debut.

Slowey's down, 6-0. Tigers abusing him.

Why go on the first pitch? Weird.

Well I am a dumbass. The game is blacked out here on MLB.com even though it's a sell out and I'm 45 miles away. WTF?

Folks, there is some s***ty weather moving in as I look out the window. Hopefully it'll stay North and not head to the New K. I finally sucked it up and bought MLB TV for a month. My puter isn't great. Any way I can make the action not freeze for a crucial 2 seconds, then unfreeze? -- Did you hear the end of Oz's interview just now on the pregame show when they asked him how 7 in a row sounded? Oz started to squeal. His enthusiasm is so cool.

I know why Oz is going to send BA down (he loves Wise's speed) but I wish he'd send Wise down and keep BA for his defense at least. We don't need another lefty outfield bat as long as Pods is healthy. Sending BA down would be dumb. Trade him rather than send him down. Or why not just send down Gobble?

High mileage are you a Royals fan? What up with that pic?

Defensive talent and ability. The guy can't hit. The question is who gets sent down when CQ is ready? If not BA or Wise, it has to be a reliever.

If Zack hits another Sox tonight, it's time to charge the mound. Time to shake him up. He is going to plunk somebody early.

I don't know about working deep into counts? I'd go after Greinke and swing the bat.

The good news is Greinke can't do much better than Chen did. It was 1-0 what into the seventh? I don't think we're gonna score much if any off him. It's a holiday crowd and he's great this year. We need Danks to pull a Buerhle and keep us right there.

Chen is awful, but we did have a lot of lefties in the lineup. At least we beat the s***ty pitcher, unlike earlier in the season when s***ty pitchers beat us.

Mark should be our all star. There only will be room for one with all the Yankees and Red Sox talking all the spots. Great win. Love Mark Buehrle and Bobby is so damn reliable as a closer! Good to win a boring game.

Looks like Kenny went 1-2 on the Lilly/Nix pickups. Not bad. Nix has been good.

No need to play him against the headhunter Greinke. Let Nix play another day; then Lexi back in the lineup forever.

I'll admit I never thought we'd get hot; but as usual we're hot as the weather gets hot. Will be nice to get Lexi back ASAP despite Nix's great performance and season of power. Six homers? Wow.

Gotta love it; efficient win. KC dropped three in a row now on this homestand after opening win over Twins. Maybe our lefties will connect against Greinke tomorrow. Great win tonight. It's all about MARK. And nice save by Bobby.

There's no quit in the Royals; true save situation.
