So much to say about this game and so little to say at the same time.

  • Lots of discussion during the game thread about the fact that the Royals actually have a good offense (and might next year). I'm not used to it either.
  • This is really a matter for another post, but the doubles thing is kinda stupid and kinda cool. I think records that take more than three words to explain are iffy (like Butler's annoying streak of hits in a series), and, well, the K is a great doubles park, which no one ever mentions. But anyway, we've seen so many Royals lineups that are: bad hitter who the manager thinks is fast - a guy who sucks - an ok hitter - Billy Butler - some random veteran- four of the worst hitters in the AL. This is different.
  •  A borderline signature game for Moose, who blasted his third home run, added two singles, and randomly stole a base.
  • Ned Yost's pay is directly died to how often Tim Collins and Chris Getz play.
