Royals shut out the Yanks 4-0 and have guaranteed a series win. Hopefully complete the sweep tomorrow.

The NL East should be interesting this year. The Braves are still rebuilding. The Mets are getting older. The Phillies are still pounding the ball and the Nats...people are still wondering how they started 3-0.

The Royals will be interesting this year. I don't see the ChiSoc doing anything. The Twins got rid of their best pitcher. I think the Indians and Tigers stood pat from last year.

We're winning with stellar pitching. Brian Bannister has just been lights out, and with Grienke right behind him in the rotation, the pitching will be very tough for (at least) two games straight.

And the Tigers who were supposed to be the team to beat are the laughingstock of MLB.  An 0 and 7 start and showing no signs that they will win any games this year. I must admit that as a fan I am Embarrassed.

Tonight I got a glimpse of the future. On the Cards radio station KTRS they said that the Cards will win all four games in S.F. I wonder if these guys got the Delorean from Doc Brown?

We'll see if this holds up, but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

The Tigers are now 0 and 6.  Is it time to push the panic button yet?   They were completely embarrassed by the White Sox on national TV 13-2 tonight.  This team looks more like the team that lost 119 games 5 years ago, then a team that has a chance to go to the World Series.  I am one who generally stays from first pitch to last pitch in a game, but best that I could do was end of the 7th inning tonight.  It was too cold and down 7 runs it just didn't seem worth sticking around for.  What a disappointing start to what was supposed to be a promising season!!!!

^ I tried to say that the best I could without jinxing him, but I did it anyways.  Dontrelle had a no-hitter going until I opened my trap on the WWW.  He had 6 or 7 walks, but no hits until Thome just hit an RBI double.

The Tigers lead the White Sox 3-0 in the 5th inning.  The game is nationally televised and has big things happening so you might want to check it out if you haven't already.

pretty depressing start but with the injuries we have and it being so early in the season im not too worried. once we get into a rythm we should be fine. too bad our offense has been doing nothing. what is maglio hitting? like 200? maybe? i think he's topping off our list.

Hopefully Lidge will come in for the 9th inning and get the save.

Looking down the barrel of the first loss. We're only down 4-3 to the Twins, but we're having a tough time getting anything going against Baker.
