Only 7 hours til game time and no thread? Slackers!

 

The Royals have been playing better of late:

The Royals, with interim manager Buddy Bell, are hitting .292 as a team in the last 17 games and have scored 87 runs, an average of 5.1 per game, while the pitching staff has allowed 73 runs, or 4.3 per game.

 

But it's the Royals' bullpen that has excelled, leading the AL in strikeouts (272) and compiling a 2.96 ERA (23 earned runs in 70 innings) in the last 21 games. Closer Mike MacDougal had his 15th save Sunday in a 6-5 victory over Toronto.

 

Also:

Jermaine Dye had one more day off Sunday but was in good spirits. He was available to play after being sidelined when bug bites on his left leg became infected.

''I'm much better,'' he said.

''He'll definitely play [tonight],'' Guillen said.

 

Tomorrow: Buehrle v. Lima

Wednesday: Garland v. Hernandez

 

greinke has been doing awfully well after the allstar break, who knows how garcia will perform after his detroit disaster, this could be an interesting game

Again, pinned for your pleasure.

Going for #10 against the Royals this year; let's do it!

 

 

Weren't the Royales with Cheese on a like 5 game win streak last time we faced them? And last time I checked, we are like 9-0 against them and they = our b****es.

 

RIP EM FREDDY!!!! MAKE EM EAT s***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's go boys, take care of business in KC, baby!

Let's go guys. Keep it rollin' in KC!!!!

with the Twins in NY for three you can't help but feel that the Sox could gain some serious ground over the next three days. A 15 game lead in the loss column in the last week of July would sure look sweet!

great point. this next couple of days could really seal it.

Freddy has been money on the road. Looks like we're in good shape tonight.

I love Aaron in the 2-hole. That's where he'd excel IMO.

 

I was talking in the chat the other day and here was my ideal lineup.

A-Row

Iguchi

Actually, I like Gooch in the 3-hole but thats just me. I agree with A-row in the 2-hole, he excels there, unfortunately, so does Uribe......

I guess they want Willie to play a AAAA team, before he really plays a AAA team.

Baltimore has been slumping lately too. They just got swept by the D-Rays if I'm not mistaken. This is a good time to be catching them.

Its good to see Dye is back in the starting lineup.

 

 

Yeah, we missed him pretty badly the last series.

Actually, I like Gooch in the 3-hole but thats just me.  I agree with A-row in the 2-hole, he excels there, unfortunately, so does Uribe......

 

hmm...I've never thought of that. Not bad, not bad at all...
