Believe it or not, after stomping on the Tigers for the 2nd consecutive night, the Royals are in 1st place in the A.L. Central.

Make that 10 straight wins for the team from western Missouri.

Former Oriole Jeremy Guthrie pitched a gem in a 2-1 victory over the slumping Tigers, who have gone 9-20 over their last 29 games.

The Royals are still hanging around in the A.L. Central, within a reasonable distance of the Tigers.

I think that the Tigers will probably win the division, but I would like to see the Royals at least give them a run for their money, if not overtake them.

And if that did happen ...... a potential Royals vs. Orioles playoff match-up would be interesting, considering that our old friend Jeremy Guthrie could be going against us.

And speaking of Jeremy Guthrie, he just threw a complete-game win last night (9 innings, 2 runs) against the Diamondbacks.

And in his previous outing, he shut out the Athletics for 6 innings.

Not bad for Jeremy, after he had an extremely bad month in July.

The last time that the Royals made the postseason was in 1985 ...... the year that they won it all.

Weridly enough the Tigers were defending champs that year. Of course, back then

the Tigers were in the AL East and the Royals in the AL West and there was no AL

Central. Anyhow, the Royals surge gets me thinking. I wonder what Tigers fans are

feeling right now. Make a huge trade to get David Price and they're only a half game

out of first place.
