Yoan Moncada, the 22-year-old Cuban second baseman, will make his first major-league appearance for the White Sox tonight, acting in essence as the first ambassador. Formula Drift Japan is this weekend at nowhere else but the legendary Ebisu circuit. That means Mad Mike is there, and that means that we get to bask in the sights. Chief among KC’s top talents is the generally little-known Whit Merrifield, a 28-year-old second baseman who has yet to play a full MLB season.

The Royals Are Suddenly Unstoppable. Eric Hosmer was an invincible monster on Wednesday night. In a 1. 6- 2 drubbing of the failing Detroit Tigers, Hosmer provided five runs, five hits, and six RBI, most of which came from a demoralizing seventh- inning grand slam that stretched the lead out to 1. He even stole a base for only the fifth time all year. And thanks in part to Hosmer, the Royals have now scored 5. This win was the Royals’ eighth in a row, and after a medicore start to the season, they’re back in the playoff picture. More than that, this team is legitimately scary—a hustling, untiring beast that can smash, pitch, and defend their way through games with the familiar Royals spark that made them such frustrating opponents in 2.

Despite that lack of experience, he’s been one of the team’s top all- around hitters, with a . Merrifield is supported by the usual suspects—sluggers and Royals’ lifers like Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, and Salvador Perez, all of whom are enjoying much better years than in 2.

On the mound, the Royals are a team that makes up for the lack of an ace by minimizing weaknesses. Fallout 4 Far Harbor Keygen Generator. The starting trio of Danny Duffy, Jason Vargas, and Jason Hammel don’t exactly strike fear into anyone’s hearts, but they’re all, at worst, solid, and if Ian Kennedy can build momentum from his six- inning, one- run win Wednesday, they’ll be even better. Meanwhile, Joakim Soria, Scott Alexander, and reinvented reliever Mike Minor keep the leads locked down from the bullpen. Beating this team usually just involves hoping one of these guys catches a bad day.

The Royals’ current streak makes a previously underachieving AL Central suddenly thrilling, as both they and the Indians have turned on the heat. Cleveland still owns a two- game lead on Kansas City, because they’re on a little seven- game winning streak of their own in which they’ve outscored opponents 5. It’s been a bit of an up- and- down season for Cleveland, but the fact that they were meant to run away with the division has made their still- strong year look worse than it is. AL is still nothing to play down, and KC is going to have to keep up its stellar pace if they’re going to win the Central. The Royals and Indians have 1. August 1. 8.

I don’t think that rotary engines are necessarily good. They were designed by a super Nazi. They are largely bad.

But they are weird and they sound awesome and I can’t hate that. I will be rooting for this mad Kiwi’s car all weekend and I encourage you to join me.
