Kansas City Royals at Seattle Mariners: 08/29 game thread

An interesting Mariners lineup, missing just about any regular who can hit consistently other than Jose Lopez, takes on a Royals team that can't pitch, catch, or throw with any regularity. Ought to be a real hoot. They introduced members of the old Seattle Pilots pre-game, with former pitcher, author and politician Jim Bouton throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. I know, it ain't Deborah Norville, but they're both in the "tell" business, I guess. From the looks of things, Bouton's got the velocity of Doug Fister, with less accuracy.
