I think the Royals are an interesting team this year. They have three good pitchers at the top of their rotation (Meche, Bannister, Greinke), some good young hitters (Teahen, Gordon, Butler), and also a very good closer (Soria). They're definitely a team on the rise.
And hooray for the Phillies beating the Mets yesterday!

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.

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

My friends and I were joking before the season that the Tigers were so good they would be the first baseball team to go undefeated (virtually impossible and will most likely never happen). We were beginning to wonder if they might become the first team to go all year without a win. Their magic number is now 159 or something like that.

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?

So much for predicting the future. Cards go down 5-1 to the mighty Giants. Card fans in Cardinal nation are already saying no problem, they have lost the first game in each series to go on to sweeping the rest.

Chien-Ming Wang is a BEAST! If Bobby Abreu had caught that ball that was IN HIS GLOVE, Wang would have thrown a no-hitter.
But I'll take a one-run complete game any day.

Gavin "Pink" Floyd has a no-hitter through 6 1/3 inings against the Tigers today. The vaunted Tiger offense is not existent.
Repeat "Pink" Floyd has a no-hitter through 6 1/3 innings. Now let the jinx begin.

Hmm, Gavin Floyd was never that good with the Phillies.... Why did they move him to the bullpen in 2005? He was never the same after that. If he lived up to his potential, he and Cole Hamels would be at the top of the Phillies rotation for years.

Fresno, eh? I came really close to having to fly out there for a photo shoot this coming week. Instead I'm flying off to Atlanta. E

The Tigers got their 1 hit in the top of the 8th, but then gave up 6 runs in the bottom of the 8th and the score went from 1-0 to 7-0. I guess living in a football town with a really bad football team it is only appropriate to lose by a touchdown.

The football team isn't THAT bad; they were 8-8, weren't they? That's not really bad, it's really mediocre.

Haha, I was in Detroit during the NFL Draft last year (in the ballpark, incidentally), and everyone went NUTS when they saw that the Lions had spent YET ANOTHER first round pick on a wide receiver.

Funny how an incredibly mediocre ball player will go down in baseball history for his lack of hitting skills.

I think this is where we'll see the Royals struggle. We're not going to blow anyone out of the park; so, when it comes down to a pitching duel then the team with the best hitters will prevail. That will probably be the opponent because our bats aren't that swift.
