Just read an interesting stat. The Royals haven't trailed in a game since the 2nd inning Thursday at Arizona. That's 44 consecutive innings.

I saw that too, but I think that was twitter speculation before the game.

After the game, Yost said he's planning on using Willingham as his everyday DH.

I think that's fine, and appreciate the added flexibility at that point to give a guy a day off or adjust the lineup if someone is slumping. I mean we get to add 15 guys to the active roster on Sept 1, right? Who cares at that point, I'll take it.

Exactly right. Expect more of this as the season wears on. Going out to close is a tension filled task and Holland only has last year on which to draw from experience.

Willingham can also play RF for you. It's a solid pickup. Aoki's playing well right now, but should he slump...you could have Hosmer, Butler, and Willingham all in the lineup for a spell.

Chris Meck... Long time, no see.

Still having a hard time believing this is real life sometimes. Here's to them keeping it going.
