Yes, let's...

...take the series! I saw in the KCStar that Billy Butler was recalled. Prediction: He’ll go 2-3 with a single, double, and a walk. – TL

Last night we gave away 3 runs on defense. 2 innings into tonight, we’ve seen: Bannister hand out 3 free passes. Jason Larue hit a 2 run home run. Dejesus injure himself, cost us a run and make a bad baserunning decision simultaneously. Aviles lose a pop up that costs us two runs in the end. Need I go on? Ugly.

One thing about Royals losing streaks is they are richly populated with come-from-ahead losses and games where they quit early. If they fight back in this one I’ll feel better about them, but I fear we’ll see a lot of a 1 and 2 pitch at-bats coming up.
