A lot happened yesterday, no doubt.

First, the bridge tragedy that certainly made last night's game less significant than most average summer Royals' games.

Second, the Buddy Bell announcement certainly was an issue that creates a lot of speculation. (Was he forced out? Was he just tired of managing these Royals? Who will we get to manage next year? Will they get the team to continue improving? .... oh, and I think the answers to the first two were "no")

Third, the Royals game was exciting and interesting. Between the run scored by Emil Brown in the 8th to tie the game up to Alex Gordon's monster home run to win the game in the 10th to Bannister's strong day on the mound to Greinke and Soria's developments, it was a great game to be a Royals fan.

However, lost in the shuffle was the simple fact that because the White Sox lost, the Royals are now tied with the White Sox at 48-59 (also the Rangers).

Since the Royals game was postponed, does that mean we should ahem root for the Yankees against the White Sox tonight? Then we would be in fourth place for at least one day (though at this rate, it should be more).
