This series will not be close. The Rangers will be overconfident and cocky thanks to the Lee trade, and Buck will continue to misfire from the bench.
Buddy Bell is the best manager in the game today, and is a good candidate for the HOF someday. His career winning percentage of .415 speaks for itself.
Everywhere he's been, he's won (40% of the time).
The Rangers have no answer to the Royals pitching staff. Can you say three-strikeouts per game? Believe it. Led by fireballers like Odalis Perez (non-insane three days running) the Royals have some of the best arms in the league.
Do you remember the All-Star game? You bet you do. The only way Young suceeded was because he knew he had ALL STAR MARK REDMAN backing him up.
Emil Brown is one of the 50 best outfielders in the AL Central, and will prove it this weekend at Ameriquest (nee The BallPark).
(moment of silence for Arlington Stadium)
The Royals are the renegades of the AL Central. You know how our offense kills ya? Singles. What do four singles in an inning equal biatch? Thats right, a m----f---ing run.
You'll be stunned when we drop a first inning bunt with out #3 hitter, the powerful Doug Mientkieiwcz. He's so studly, he even named his son "Steel" (really).
Enjoy getting walloped the ROyals. You ran into a buzzsaw at the wrong time. Theres a 90% chance the Royals will no-hit you in this series, and a 85% chance we'll top 10 runs twice. This is a revenge series for Buddy, and you can bet your a-- that he'll make sure the boys know exactly that.
Its on. Enjoy feeling positive about your team, because its about to end. Pronto, as you say.
