Central Processing - Rotation ERA
kingsofkauffman.com 6/19/2009 — After two dreadful games by the Kansas City Royals, I thought now would be a good time to kick-off a new series. That said, welcome to the first edition of Central Processing. The goal of this series is to see how the Royals stack up against their divisional foes in a specific statistic or at ...

It Begins Now

AL Central fear factor
motownsportsrevival.blogspot.com 6/8/2009 — The AL Central doesn’t appear to be it’s usual stout self this season with just one team playing better than .500 baseball. Lucky for us, that team is the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers own a 2.5 game lead over the Twins. However, considering the prowess ...
