Go to left field. Get some chicken strips and a cinnamon roll from Stroud's. Check out the Royals HOF. Then go to right field in to the bar. Drink Boulevard Wheat, and lots of it. They Royals should be down by about 7-zip by then....

He reverted to old form, where he was throwing everything out over the plate/away, and not working inside at all. That approach can work IF/WHEN he has his power sinker really working, and he's painting the black (93-mph sinker at the knees on the outside part of the plate is the most unhittable pitch in baseball, IMO). When it doesn't? See last night. Hochevar, starting with the second half last year, began making a concerted effort to work inside and move the ball in and out throughout at-bats. It was wildly successful (for him). When he's sticking to that approach, Hochevar is a good No. 3/solid No. 2 starter. If last night becomes a trend, it's a problem. If he realizes he reverted and corrects it, he's still capable of being an effective guy.

People were saying this teams isn't as bad as a 12 game losing streak. And if you read my post I said most people are realistic about the Royals. But you are right, their aren't any Chiefs homers on this board. Like ones that like to talk about how competitive the Chiefs have been for the past 20 years.

Really? Wow, they only stayed a year or two? Well, I think Gates BBQ is still sold in the stadium, isn't it?
