Time for Anderson to get rocked

Time for this kid to get a dose of 1st-place domination.

Is it game time, yet?

This could change, but as of tonight, I believe that Detroit is no longer relevant. Since the Twins are off, we have no other relevant games on Monday

Thanks for doing the game thread, alnorth. I know what a huge pain in the butt it can be to update the Cleveland pitchers 92 times for one game.

Up your butt Joe Boo

Coming off getting swept in 4 games by the White Sox.

The Indians scored 5 runs... in 4 games.



Which means Brandon Moss is hitting 4 home runs against us.

In it to win it!

the cueto era begins

Two things that grinds my gears about Royals broadcast on FS1


That slut whore commercial and the Carryonwaywardson commercial


Quit playing them over and over FS1 it's annoying.

Volquez has been brilliant this year. Some of us got a ton of shit during the offseason for saying that last year in Pittsburgh wasn't a fluke.

Here's to getting that win total to double-digits.

I don't mind the commercials.
