Cleveland Indians at Kansas City Royals, Sep 7, 2008 2:10 PM EDT
Zack Greinke (3.67 ERA) takes on Forrest Lee (2.32 ERA) in a matchup of genius. These guys are like Niels Bohr and Erwin Schrodinger facing off at the Solvay Conference.
Just a reminder, but if you are interested in talking Chiefs today, Arrowhead Pride has a game thread up.

A great pitchers game today would be great.
1-0 Royals with a BamBam homerun.

no more FSN on the weekends
until the end of the season. I won’t lie, I was more concerned with college football than the Royals yesterday. I doubt I’m the only one. But I’m listening today.
