  Today's Starting Pitchers GS IP ERA WHIP BAA HR BB K W-L
Zach Greinke - RH - #23  16 106.0 3.40 1.25 .248 15 33 84 7-4
Brian Burres - LH - #56 14 (16) 81.2 5.29 1.54 .302 12 27 39 6-5

Kansas City is smoking hot right now, having won 12 of their last 16, five in a row on the road (June 14-19, against ARI and STL), and having gone 13-5 in interleague play this year. They have dropped their last two, though, so let's hope we can send them sliding and just ignore that hot streak they were on.

Zach Greinke is a hell of a good pitcher, so today is no small task. You know, years ago, the stigma behind Greinke's development interruptions might have chased him out of baseball, as teams might have been afraid of taking a chance on a "head case." Good for him being honest, and good for the Royals accepting and helping him as much as they could. They're rewarded with an arm that looks as good as was advertised when he emerged as a prospect.

I hear tall tales, whispers in the wind, and folk songs about Brian Burres, the hard-working man who worked very hard, unlike other athletes. They say that when times are tough, he knows how to overcome -- a sixth sense, if you will. A deep-down place inside of him that brings out a superpower that topples all foes. As his earned run average climbs and he approaches being real f'n bad, I greatly look forward to seeing him activate his special finishing move. GETOVERHERE! Hadouken! Stunner!

and, y'know?

perhaps even more wacky than amber’s pitching predictions is that sorry, no-account brian burres may be the first starter to 10 wins on this team if garrett olson doesn’t get there first.

Hey Adam Loewen is the new left handed specialist

It’s gonna be hard for a LHS to bag 10 wins, but I’m sure any baseball person would tell you for Adam Loewen its a “very reasonable number”

Just Got Back From Houston

I went to the Stros PHN game on Sat. in which the PHN lost 11-10. It was a great game.

I didn’t have my computer so I was unable to watch any of the O’s Nats series. It really sucked ass. I’m so glad to be back home.

Dodgeball is on FX, so that should hold me over for the next fifteen minutes

After seeing Diamond Dave

talking about both Adam Loewen and Brian Burres, he definitely reminds me of my mom.

Theres a reason Guillen doesn't play right field anymore

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I’m skeptical that the future will ever come then.
