Seems simple to me. You have Guthrie and Finnegan for long relief, as well as Frasor for early innings work. Tim Collins scares the absolute crap out of me, and I can't believe we got away with using him in a tie game on Thursday in Anaheim.Well yeah, you certainly aren't pitching Shields on two days rest or Ventura on one... I can see trying to throw Shields in game 4 if he is effective and throws <100 pitches in game 1.Yes, that makes sense. My selfish hope is this; Royals split in Baltimore, come home and win games 3/4 with Duffy/Guthrie, BGJ pitches game 5 when I have tickets and Royals clinch the WS birth. I'd also accept 2-0 in Baltimore and split 3/4 at home.

i mean it has to be shields and then ventura the first two games. no way they let vargas or guthrie see the mound in baltimore, right?
let's just sweep these guys and be done with it
kslim, ventura cannot be used in game 3 since he will have started game 2
they should sell every single player on the team. that way they will not have a team. no team is better than a ~.500 team, that's what i always say.
you know what is depressing? breaking down the first 100 games of the season into ten 10-game chunks1-10: 4-6 L11-20: 6-4 W21-30: 4-6 L31-40: 6-4 W41-50: 4-6 L51-60: 5-5 T61-70: 9-1 W71-80: 3-7 L81-90: 6-4 W91-100: 3-7 Lthis is a sub-500 team with one fantastic 10-game stretch stuck in the middle
in all seriousness though, we are done. the royals are done this year. i am not a defeatist person and i enjoyed last year tremendously all the way through. but there are too many teams to pass and we just can't do it.
that stupid 10-game win streak has completely ruined next year. if we had gone like 4-6 like we were supposed to, we'd be tied with Minnesota for last place in the division, and we'd have sold shields to oakland for yoenis mother rough ridin' cespedes
