Royals bench AVILES, GUILLEN: KILA to clean-up.

Good to see us reward Betancourt's lack of effort last night by starting him and sending Aviles to the bench instead. Butler at DH, Kila at 1B, Guillen joins Mike riding the pine.

so where in the hell does the organization stand with this guy?

I Swear I'd

Rather see them run Sporqie out there than Yu-Bet. I just hope Aviles isn’t hurting somehow. Trey comes so close to getting it right. I wonder if Mitch will play tonight.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

perhaps

they’re just trying to be extra cautious with his elbow. I’d rather do that then what we did in previous years and rush guys back.

Obviously, you are not a golfer.

Agreed.

Cruiser...

Does he get a PT Cruiser for catching 150 games?

That's what really irks me about the Braden/A-Rod thing

do neither of these guys notice the spotlight they’re taking away from the New Iron Man?
