Willie Bloomquist misses the cycle by a double as he drives in three runs in the Royals 4-3 win over the Tigers. Bloomquist is in the unusual position of having more triples that doubles and homers combined. Of his eleven extra-base hits, six are triples. The last player to do that over [...]

5:05. I’m a little baffled by the FSN ads that try and hype this as a re-union/grudge match. Who cares that Jose Guillen is a Royal now? Or Willie Bloomquist? Betancourt? Those guys are terrible. Meche is the only interesting discussion to be had, and we’re not going to...
