The Royals

[AppleJack]

WE'RE BACK! 

[SabiNation]

Sunday's pitching matchup = Shields vs Hamels

feels good to have one of those guys

No kidding. 

[EllRobersonisInnocent]

I'm happy for you guys, I didn't want to see the carnage in here after a 0-3 start

[mocat]

My math skills are well-documented, but I am pretty sure the Royals are on pace to score 4 runs in their next game, and 162 runs in their final game of the season.

i was fully prepared to come in here and melt the eff down if we lost.

BUT WE DIDN'T!!!!! 

[EMAWmeister]

Take away Hoch, and there are a lot of positives despite the losing series.

Will lose by 1 in the 9th.

no, i am going to assume our offense is dog crap and incapable of winning 70 games until they prove me otherwise.

The positives really don't add up. Justify our bad bats with the cold weather and the beginning of the season and you're also taking away everything from the pitching because the chi sox's bats would have the same factors.

Bottom line here- we're most likely average at both hitting and pitching. The White Sox are probably the same.

I expect about 75 wins, but its still waaaay too early to tell. 1 game winning streak!!!

Hosmer is going to be legit I think.  This will be his year.  The Royals might just come out on top in the AL Central.  Could be the best complete team.

The staff had 4 walks and 29 Ks in the series. That is better than average and will keep you in about every series. If Sale doesn't throw such a gem, the Royals take 2/3. (You're not going to lose many games when you only give up one run.)

#teamburnitdown vol. 2.0 vers. Hoch is ahead of schedule for 2013

One of my favorite things about the royals is that I don't really care about the outcome of the game.  The K is a stress free environment.

I've never heard anyone talk about a bad experience at a Royals game. I was at the game where Vin Mazzaro was demoted during the middle of a game where we set records for being historically inept and losing 19-1. It was still a pretty okay night.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

And the Sox take the series.  The royals can dream about maybe being .500 one day, while the Sox will rightly reign over the AL central.

Except, you know, The Tigers

I think you have Detroit and Chicago confused.

Your cleanup hitter is Adam Dunn

Detroit just went to the World Series and has a perennial Cy Young candidate and a Triple Crown Winner. He must be thinking of Chicago.

Detroit is French for swept in four.

Detroit is French for swept in four.

Dayan Viciedo (fat and can't hit) struck out Detroit times today.
