Vargas will pitch a perfect game through seven.

And Hererra will lose it in the 8th

Meh, Kelvin didn't pitch bad yesterday...their hits just found some holes....they were lucky

F those square-headed Canadian wannabes

6-3 Royals

Time to take first place from these posers.

In!

In

2.08 ERA
1.11 WHIP
23 K/21 2/3 IP

Half the teams in baseball would kill to have a closer with those numbers.

Wished I could be this positive I just think the team is still in a funk and yesterday isn't the turnaround.Please let me be wrong.

Lets knock these Twinkies back to earth

In before Twinkie batting practice...

in for the Vargas domination and the offensive explosion

I've had a hard time whipping up a good baseball hate for the Twinkies, but I think I can manage....

Again, we got spoiled last Sept and Oct.
