**** the assstros.

Please crush the stros dreams just like 2015

Let's get this series started off right. C'mon Royals, take care of business!

In news around the league... no Cleveland or Minnesota to keep an eye on today... but Boston is currently down early against the Blue Jays 1-0 in the 4th... Angels snapped the Tigers 6 game win streak, though Detroit remains a game over .500... And tonight, the Dodgers and Orioles get it on at Chavez Ravine...

LET'S GO ROYALS!!

All I ask for is a 2-2 split this weekend.

A split would absolutely be fine by me...

That'll work, anything above that is gravy.

Singer looking sharp so far.

Unfortunately, Brown is too.

Pretty weak ejection even though it worked out in the Royals favor.

I'm watching without audio. What's the deal with the ejection? Was that just from him lipping off to the ump?

Yeah, he said a naughty word that the ump wasn't going to take I guess.

Never. I mean never, EVER... call an ump a dirty doo doo poo poo head. You'll get tossed.

He said maybe 6 words on the way to the dugout but also cut between Salvy and the ump in order to say them. Never turned his head and didn't look like he raised his voice at all.
