Game 150 Open Thread - Mariners (57-91) at Royals (65-84)

The Battle for Grass Creek resumes tonight in Kansas City, with the Royals looking to building on a 3-2 season series lead. How close has the Battle been? The Royals have scored 22 runs, the Mariners, 21.

I would expect nothing less from Baseball's Greatest Rivarly.


Lineup

This may be the best lineup the Royals have fielded this season, depending on how you come down on the Buck/Olivo question.

The pitching matchup is Carlos Silva against Hiram. Silva's ERA is 6.53.

I'm looking forward to hitting the game thread sometime around the third inning with a glass of campari next to my computer...
