For my Michigan friends* how does it feel to be elevated to the ranks of Yankee-hate-hood for your ball team’s bloated payroll? How sweet, even for just four days! With my luck I’ll end up relocating to a city without baseball and hockey.
Jim Leyland lays it out for us:
We stunk. We look like we’re just going up there and giving at-bats away without any purpose. The manager’s responsible for the preparation and the performance of the club, and right now, we don’t look very prepared.
We just look like dead.
Now we get to see how the bottom of the Royals’ rotation can pitch. I wonder if Trey is considering a four-starter system?
* It’s not you fans, really; it could’ve happened to anybody.

No panic yet. The Royals have a history of kicking sand in the Bengals’ faces.
And while our payroll is boggling, it’s only halfway up the BoSox/Evil Empire mountain.
