Guys, this Nick Tepesch guy the Rangers have pitching tonight is a loser. A complete, loser. He doesn't get tons of Ks, he's not overpowering, he's just about average in every way. I want a 6 run lead and another day of rest for Herrera/Davis/Holland. Tomorrow's an off day, so then we'd have those 3 completely rested for the road trip. We need a win, and it needs to be an easy one.
In other news, Verlander is making his 1st start post-scandal. I'm just hoping all this crazy TMZ stuff has gotten in his head, and he implodes tonight. I want it to get messy, like 8 runs in 3 1/3rd innings messy, with tons of stupid reporters at his locker asking personal questions and getting him mad and stuff after the game.
Let's Go Royals, Let's Go Tribe.
KC 7 Texas 2
Cleveland 9 Detroit 5
Let's go.
CF3.......I like your optimism......but I am on the opposite end of the spectrum...
First, in the last 10 games, the Royals have not scored more than 6 runs in a game. (I included the suspended game)
Second, in the last 10 games, the Royals have scored 21 runs, a 2.1 runs/game average.....

There offense has tanked recently, and we are relying to heavily on our pitching.....
Not saying we will not win tonight, but scoring 7 runs seems like about a 5 run stretch.....
The good news is, it is a middle of the week game, so the crowd should be small, so our guys should play better, since Ned thinks they don't like big crowds, so, add in another run to make up for less pressure tonight.......
My pessimistic side is taking over dangit..............
