I took my kids to the St. Louis zoo today. Found some St. Louis sports talk show on the way back to the hotel. Turned it on, and the topic was the Royals, for like, 10 minutes. Life as a KC fan.

Plan on wearing my WS hat to Friday's game and talking about being part of the best fanbase in baseball.
Joe Blanton's last 3 appearances:7 2/3 IP, 5 H, 0 BB, 9 K, 1.14 ERA, 2 SAVES
Granted, he's pitched well a few times and I appreciate that. However, the ERA doesn't (nor could it) reflect the 3 he gave up on his first pitch tonight. That's why ERA is so misleading for relievers--it doesn't take in to account inherited runs scored. That said, he has been of some help and pitched two decent innings tonight, giving the pen some more rest. Unfortunately for him, it sure looks like he's the odd man out when Cueto is activated.

And they won't be able to tuck Young away on the DL.
