Game 83 - 7/2/2007

Mariners 2, Royals 3

We are officially past the halfway point of the season, and the Royals are on track to break 100. Their poor start is unfortunate, since they have played so well over the past month or so. The biggest impact right now seems to be the bullpen (shock!).

Questions to ponder for the second half:

• Will the Royals leave Grienke in the 'pen?
• Will Grienke go back to the rotation?
• Will Grienke become the close?
• If so, what happens to Dotel?
• Will the Royals ever settle on a first baseman?
• What will they do with all the DH's when Sweeney returns?
• Is Moore pondering any big trades?
• Is Moore pondering a managerial change?
• Will Alex Gordon continue to mash?

It will be fun to watch!!!
