Game 40 Open Thread - Arizona Diamondbacks (17-22) vs. Kansas City Royals (15-22): The Battle for League Supremacy

Interleague warfare is on. Sides must be taken. American vs. National. Good vs. Evil. Actual professional hitters vs. pitchers trying to bunt like eight-year-old girls.

Brothers will fight on opposing sides. There will be no prisoners. Only one league will emerge victorious.

Alcidies is hitting leadoff with Irving Falu in the #2 hole as he continues his quest to become the first hitter since Ted Williams to hit .400 in a season.

Moose hits seventh, presumably as punishment for releasing a bra-bomb on campus, which really steamed Dean Ned Yost. "MOUSTAKAS! I'LL GET YOU!" he yelled in anger in the trailer for "Boner Academy, Part II", hitting theaters everywhere this July.
