Returning from Atlantic City, which is a bit of a dump by the way, I happen to see that the Royals have been playing excellent baseball. Over the last 10 games they have gone 7-3. They won series' in both Oakland and in Colorado and even won a series at home against Cleveland.

It's just nice to come home as see that the Royals have played so well on the road...They're off to a bad start against the Mariners and have now lost 3 games in a row, but it doesn't seem as bad after they have played so well...but we'll see how the rest of the home stand goes.
