Our division lead is now bigger than all other division leads combined....

There's two factors at play there.

1) KC is a very good team.

2) the rest of the division sucks.

The way it has played out so far has really surprised me.

Yep. Not taking away from how well KC has played, but the ALC is the only division with 4 teams below .500.

Yeah, you guys all fucking suck. I kid...

I did take note of that. That fact is more surprising to me than the Royals having a lead this size.

 

[Iffster]

I think the Royals have HEART!

par for AL Central, just nice to be the good team out of the division for a change.

How many times has our Central got a WC? I can think of three, I think.

(I remember getting really pumped after the Tigers had a hot streak during the higginson Era, we were last in the WC Standings on ESPN. Was the closest we'd been to the playoffs in over a decade.)

Ha ha! Yes, actually making it to the "Wild Card Contenders" screen on ESPN would've been a huge accomplishment for that sorry group.

The Twins won with HEART yesterday. Unfortunately, there is no heart left in the fanship. Trade deadline day has become a waterloo for teams... it is the beginning or the end. If you do not make moves to help your club you are stating you give up. Minnesota gave up. Partly because there was too much to fix, but mostly because our owners are as cheap as any other, moreso than most.

Luckily, the Vikings are ready to take our hearts for the fall. And I do mean the season.

Funniest thing I saw yesterday was Edinson Volquez's hairline.

 

[BigRedMoe]

"Why you gotta be like that, Moe?" *single tear drop*

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Volquez and Lebron have something in common at least.

Yost is a special kind of buffoon with his management this 8th inning.

That hits a little close to home, but still funny.

You think he left forehead in too long?

It's not like he was getting hit hard. But Iggy did rip that one like 37feet down the line....

3rd turn on in a tight game, I have no qualms pulling him after the 1st walk. I give not a care for his PC or previous 7 IP.

I get that.

The last two years I usually yell at the TV for JV to be done an inning before Ausmus thinks he should be too.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

111-1!

 

[Howie115]

111-1!

Yep.... first time the Royals lost a game when leading after 7 IP in like, forever.

When Edi came back out for the 8th I turned to the Wife and said, "Aw shit, we're getting Yosted." And then we did.
