Tuesday, August 13th: Bruce Chen v. Jose Fernandez

Wednesday, August 14th: Ervin Santana v. Jacob Turner

Royals need 2 out of 3 here. I can't complain if they aren't able to win against Fernandez tomorrow night. But this is the kind of team you need to win series against. A sweep is ideal.

Side note: Gordon is gone tonight for the birth of his child. Will be back tomorrow. Congrats to his family.

Side note #2: The Royals picked up INF Jamey Carroll yesterday, if you didn't notice. Was with the Twins. Not a very good player. But really no worse than Getz, who was activated off of the DL for tonight's game.

I'm going tomorrow. Real exciting baseball being played right now.

Jesus, the fielding by the Royals outfielders isn't helping Davis here in the 6th inning.

Fortunate to get out of that inning. Good that we tacked on a few more.

Wow. Billy really got into that one.

Royals win...with a loss by the Tribe (lol...where is 14 at) the Royals slide into 2nd place. Detroit goes down also. Good deal.

15-16k tonight. Not bad attendance, if the game was in Miami...

Would it been sold out if the stadium was downtown????? lol..

Pretty shittey crowd indeed. But you don't fix two decades of losing with one good run. Gonna take a little more time than that to get consistent big crowds.

Well, since you mention it, a downtown stadium and proper public transit would help out attendance. Where do you think the fans live?

Of course, it's going to cost the taxpayers in the area a fortune and fish will be moving across state lines before that happens.

If you've never seen Jose Fernandez pitch, make sure you tune it tonight. This kid has some nasty stuff.

Orioles lose. KC not too far back with a couple games in hand.

Tonights lineup:

1 - Getz 2B
2 - Hosmer 1B
3 - Butler DH
4 - Gordon LF
5 - Lough RF
6 - Escobar SS
7 - Kottaras C
8 - Carroll 3B
9 - Dyson CF

Good lord that looks bad.

The handling of Getz is comical at this point.

Yikes.....if I were a betting man, I'd be jumping all over the under 6.5 for this game.

This has 2-1, 3-2, written all over it.

Oh wait....I am a betting man <runs to the casino>

Ha...you Vegas beeeaatch. Must be nice. I dont bet baseball though.

Chen has been nails since getting back in the rotation.

Looks like Vegas boy is winning some loot. Pretty predictable call. 6.5 was pretty high for those pitchers going against each other. Now come on Royals win 1-0...
