I can't wait to see which of the 3 middling starters the Royals are throwing out there nearly no hits us. 

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Maybe someonewill predict which one it will be and then go pat himself on the back in another thread about how smart he is. 

 

[E5 Yaz]

Arthur Bryant's is overrated, and for some ridiculous reason Oklahoma Joe's renamed itself

Guthrie still owes the Sox for the Mothers Day Fiasco.

 

[MuzzyField]

LC's on Blue Parkway and don't be afraid of the bar's on the windows!
Now I'm hungry and I sure don't want a Snickers bar.

That's heresy.
 
Unless you're referring to the airport location or somewhere else.  The one on Brooklyn and 18th is to die for.

Kansas City, not Chicago

I can't imagine Detroit being too happy about this lineup?

If you compare it to the Yankees' lineup today it really isn't that bad.

 

[Plympton91]

I can't imagine Detroit being too happy about this lineup?

At first glance it is quite brutal, but with the exception of Weeks replacing an injured Pedroia, it's all people they plan to have on the major league roster in 2015.

So Detroit can't complain too much, especially since they won. I'd love to see a winning streak spurred by Betts and Bogaerts at the top of the lineup. That combined with 2 more quality starts each from Buch and Kelly would shorten the winter considerably.
