KC is not that good. The simple fact is that they beat the lesser teams. That fast start was a fluke. They cannot beat the good teams, go back and look at who they have beaten.
That whole thing was tounge in cheek. The point of the article is that Sammy is weakminded and we get to him. Look at his history during the series at Comiskey. In all the years I can think of he has had one big AB, and that was when he HRd to tie a game off of Foulke, that we won in 14 innings.
After seeing Sammy at Comiskey today, all I have to say is HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA! You suck. You had every chance in the world to be a hero and you blew them ALL!
They threw Prior over 120 pitches in 7 innings. They have had Kerry Wood go over 130 twice, and over 140 pitches once. They stretch their starters plenty. In fact I am waiting for the inevitable Wood breakdown.
They changed it last year. This is the police and team solution to all of the drunken idiots that get into fights and piss all over the place during the usual crosstown games. They figure the more that they can minimize the drinking the better, so they start the games way earlier. If so many people didn't cause problems every year, we'd still have night games.
