As amazing as this sounds, the Royals are in first place. Not the White Sox, not the Twins, not the Tigers, and not the Indians. The Royals. Just incredible. And Toronto is in first in the AL East, the Seattle in the NL West, and the Padres in the NL West. And the Pirates are ahead of Atlanta 10-0 as I’m writing this. Obviously, not the year everyone’s been predicting, but I’ll take it.

Royals 6, Yankees 4

It would have been bad if the Royals had been swept in their first home series. But thanks to poor playing conditions that apparently don’t exist at the amazing, Mount Olympus-esque stadium the Yankees play at, the Royals averted the sweep.

Royals 4, Indians 2

I touched on this in my last post, but Zack Greinke is really good. He has the lowest ERA in the league, 0.00. That’s not too bad. Tonight he goes against the second place pitcher in ERA, Kevin Millwood, who has an ERA of 0.64.

Royals 9, Indians 3

If the Royals could just hit like this every night, we’d be undefeated. Of course, a grand slam from John Buck helps a lot. There seem to be a lot of grand slams going around; there was another one last night. Not only that, but the guy who hit it finished the cycle AND brought his team back to win.

Indians 5, Royals 4

The Royals lost this one thanks to their amazing imploding pitcher, Kyle Farnsworth. You come to expect this from a Yankee, though. One high note: the hockey playoffs started tonight, so another year of great NHL action is about to end. (Go Columbus!)

Thursday: An off day

It was a great day for baseball, too. I think it felt like that because someone down the street was grilling some hot dogs.

Friday: The NEW Yankee Stadium

I hear it’s replacing the Grand Canyon as one of the 7 wonders of the world. It took up half the headlines on MLB.com. Even the new Mets stadium didn’t do that, and the Royals stadium, obviously much nicer, barely got one! It’s nice, yes, but not as nice as the White House or something like that. Or the Grand Canyon. That gives me an idea; let’s play a baseball game in the Grand Canyon! Or we can just throw the Yankees in there and watch them fall into the river.

Royals 12, Rangers 3

It was 12-0. Then I turned on the radio to listen to the game, and Texas promptly scored back-to-back homers. I then turned the radio off. Gil Meche, Zack Greinke, and Kyle Davies are all undefeated. That’s my kind of rotation.

Pittsburgh just won. They’re above .500 as well. I’m going to go find out what got into them.
