Let's see here........ big leads blown by Ryan Dumpster yet again. Juan Mateo gets hit by a liner and leaves the game. Even the rookies seem injury prone. I can't take it anymore this team should hold a class for the Royals to show them how to lose and make it look interesting at the same time because the cubs sure do.

FYI:

 

The Royals have gone 30-36 since June 17. They have also won nine of their last 13 games against division leaders or second-place teams.

Royals recently against the elite teams (1st place teams, top 3 in AL Central since July began):

 

vs. Twins (July 3-5): 2-1

at Detroit (July 13-16): 1-3

vs. White Sox (July 31-Aug 2): 1-2

vs. Twins (Aug 3-6): 0-4

at White Sox (August 14-17): 2-2

vs. Oakland (August 18-20): 2-2

at Minnesota (August 29-31): 2-0, going for sweep tomorrow

 

Overall: 10-14, with a chance at the sweep tomorrow

 

Compare that to Detroit in the same timespan against teams in that category:

 

vs. Oakland (July 3-5): 1-2

vs. White Sox (July 18-20): 2-1

vs. Oakland (July 21-23): 2-1

at Minnesota (July 28-30): 2-1

vs. Minnesota (Aug 7-9): 1-2

at White Sox (Aug 11-13): 0-3

vs. White Sox (Aug 21-24): 2-2

at Yankees today: 1-1

 

Overall: 11-13, and the only reason not 10-14 is Rivera is kept out in the 9th/Monroe gets a slider I coulda hit for a home run

Thats tough, I don't know what's worse, taking a lead in extras twice and eventually blowing them to get swept by pittsbugh or scoring 10 runs in the first inning and still end up losing.
