Notes from last night...
6:10 -- Rain delay.
6:35 -- Baltimore announcers just said that Greinke has the best ERA in the league since August of last year.
6:37 -- Apparently Greinke holds opponents to a .179 batting average with runners in scoring position.
Later in the game -- That .179 batting average with runners in scoring position just went up along with the ERA.
About those T-shirts: We really will order them some day (maybe) for the charter commentators of this blog, but we get around to things like that with the speed of a glacier.
Indian names: This started with our epileptic border collie who is VERY nervous and who howls weirdly every time a fire truck or ambulance goes by. Her Indian name is Sings With Sirens. Our other dog is Little Big Ears. The Indian name we gave our son when he was a baby is Smiles With Whole Body. He later gave us a rather unfortunate Indian name: Farts At The Moon.
Here are some Indian names for your Kansas City Royals...
Gordon -- Swings For Fences
Guillen -- Mad At Baseballs
Greinke -- Crazy Like Fireflies (or through five innings, Shits Bed In Camden Yards)
Soria -- Calm In Storm
Butler -- Singles Off Far Wall
Gathright -- Jumps Over Buffalo -or- Bunts Into Wind -or- Runs With Rabbits
Dejesus -- Little Coyote After Big Game
Callaspo -- Plays With Fire Water
TPJ -- Hits Like Dung
Teahen -- Runs With Antelope -or- Swings And Misses
Olivo -- Big Guns In Strong Wind
Mike Sweeney -- Wounded Back
George Brett -- Chief George Freakin Brett
Buck O'Neil -- Hunts With Mighty Ancestors
Hal McRae -- Slings Ashtrays
Pete LaCock -- Bold Rooster
Lonnie Smith -- Fields With Mosquitoes
Tony Pena Sr. -- Makes Eyes At Neighbor's Squaw
Dan Quisenberry -- Skipper Of Sinking Stones
U.L. Washington -- Chews On Splinters From Broken Canoe
Johnny Damon -- Throws Like A Girl (some Indian names are just obvious)
Breaking news! Olivo with two outs in the ninth! Oh My God! You've got to be crapping us!
Mad At Baseballs can't be happy that they intentionally walked Swings For Fences...Yes!
10:20 -- S-O-R-I-A! Great comeback win! That's one of those wins that's really worth 2.5 wins or something like that. Wahoo!

I was sent an article from a Cardinals fan that said the Royals and Cardinals were two of the teams that had “expressed interest” in Matt Holliday if he were to become available later this season.
I wonder who their Royals source is....Me.
What are we willing to give up that Colorado would actually want; I mean we already gave them JDLR? Butler, Moustakas, and some minor league arms? Would that be enough?
You would probably have to change the blog name. May I suggest Hits Like Dung?
Holliday has some pretty drastic splits, but I think he'd still be the kind of bat we really need. He's a legitimate right-handed bat and he can legitimately hit in the middle of the lineup. Teahen and Cortes (and somebody else) for Holliday?
Adjusted for park, it looks like Balboni's homerun record would be safe.
However, it would be nice to have a a guy that could at least come close.
The bigger problem other than whom to trade is if we can sign him to a multi-year deal, otherwise what's the point. And he ain't gonna be cheap.
This is a new era for the Royals. We are big spenders.
