don`t look now, but, the boys have put together several good series. If Duffy and kearns can come back effectively there might be a chance to become competitive within the division. It doesn`t appear that any team in the division is capable of running off and hiding. As has been previously mentioned here the good Royals teams of the past were usually at .500 at the allstar break and then exploded in the second half. It remains to be seen if this team can get to that level of consistency.
