Royals Sweep in Detroit

Are the Royals good enough to be the Tigers and win the 3 game sweep, Yep, they are. Although upon observation of these games. it looks like Detroit has 9 individuals, they are tight, and they are caught up in pure slump. Now this won't last long, but now the Royals are atop the division.

It says alot that we even got out of there with 1 win, but all three really makes for excitement here in Kansas city.

The Royals have the jump start that they needed and the pitching has been really solid averaging less than 3 runs per game.

Good Stuff Guys

DETROIT (AP)--The Kansas City Royals were supposed to provide a perfect launching pad for the Detroit Tigers highly touted offense.

The Royals pitchers did not cooperate, and the Tigers failed to launch.Zack Greinke had another outstanding pitching performance for Kansas City, allowing one run in seven innings as the Royals finished off a season-opening sweep with a 4-1 win on Thursday.

The Tigers and their $138.7 million payroll managed five runs in the series, including just one in the final 21 innings.

"We stunk," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "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."

Detroit is hitting .206 with 24 strikeouts in three games.
