Well they salvaged the Twins series so they head home 4-2 and are currently a half game up on the Sox, who are taking on Detroit tonight. The offense is averaging less than four runs a game and that is just not acceptable. Now if the starters can maintain a sub-3 era all year then four runs a game would be fine but we know that's not going to happen. Gordon has responded well to his drop to the 6th spot in the order with a pair of multi-hit games and Callaspo had 3 hits in his two games. I still believe the bats will come around but I sure would feel better if they would score 10 runs on Tuesday. Speaking of the Yanks here's the scheduled starters for the home opening series:
| Tue, Apr 8 | 3:10 pm CDT | B. Bannister vs. P. Hughes | |
| Wed, Apr 9 | 7:10 pm CDT | Z. Greinke vs. I. Kennedy | |
| Thu, Apr 10 | 7:10 pm CDT | J. Bale vs. A. Pettitte |
Realistically I wonder what people thought KC's record would be after six games, maybe 3-3 or 2-4? I think most of us are happy but also a tad disappointed that they couldn't carry the momentum over to the Twins series. 6-0 or 5-1 would have been nicer but it just shows they are a work in progress and that they are going to be prone to inconsistency. And really you kind of have to expect that from a young team.
