Third shutout since AS break!! Nice!
I asked the question earlier in this thread on why Alex Gordon seems to have dirt on his back of his jersey in most games, nobody answered, even when he doesn't get on base. I thought that it might be a superstition. I found out Sunday. The shuttle driver from Adam's Mark Hotel said it was from the pine tar when the bat swings around. Makes sense. 
I know, shuttle driver.
I know, shuttle driver.You may be slipping, but we had this exchange in May. I know, I know, NOT the authority of a shuttle driver, but a crazy, wild, DEAD-ON guess!I asked the question earlier in this thread on why Alex Gordon seems to have dirt on his back of his jersey in most games, nobody answered, even when he doesn't get on base.

I'm hoping they can win these last two against the Jays, who I dislike a little less without Joey Bats and Josh Donaldson, but not sure that I'm any more enamored of them now being MLB's answer to the "nepotiz"...Bichette, Biggio, and Guerrero. I guess they're really talented, so that probably means "legacies" rather than something like nepotism.

Ya, I think the Crown I was most likely drinking that evening washed away those brain cells. You were right on.
Sunday Aug. 4, 3-0 final score ...... Twins sweep Royals.

Nice win versus the Metropolitans tonight. Can't say I'm not REALLY glad to beat Syndergaard (still harboring the hate from the high heat in the 2015 WS!). For a while, looked like we were gonna leave all our winning chances on the bases. No earned runs again and though not a shutout, something like their fifth post-AS game without giving up an ER. Still mathematically alive to get my 70.
Multiple sources down here in KC are reporting it. Less than the Marlins sold for....
Thank goodness. Glass got the Royals on a huge, huge discount, and never really seemed interested in actually being an owner until 2014. Maybe things will change with a new owner, or maybe they won't, but if the new owner actually shows a little enthusiasm for the team, it'll be a step in the right direction.
Encouraged by this ownership change underway. Never really been a “fire this guy, fire that guy” kind of fan, but I really do think the Process could use some tweaking in KC. Despite the two WS appearances (and, of course, the 2015 title), we have had, what, three, maybe four winning seasons in forever? And just ONE division title, which was the winning WS year. In a division full of smaller market or decaying city teams, that just shouldn’t be. Time maybe for some better drafts and development, as well as some accountability and demand for on-field excellence from the coaches and players. I get how hard baseball is, getting run production to line up with run prevention, but if the A’s, the Rays and others can compete consistently, so should we expect to also. If there’s anybody left out there as we scoot toward 100 losses again here in 2019, what are your thoughts?
