Jeckyl and Hyde is a little generous when you're talking about the Royals. A team with a .282 winning percentage is just flat out bad. They'll put a couple of good games together but this is not a good baseball team. The Orioles shouldn't have too many problems with them.

If you're going to use the Jeckyl and Hyde label on an AL Central team...use it on my guys, the Tigers. They're offense is in the top 5 in the AL and the second best ERA in the AL behind Chicago and somehow they struggle to get over .500. The biggest problem is that they're just not scoring enough runs and they're a sub-.500 team in one run games. Their pitching shows up and the bats don't. The bats show up and the bullpen blows the game. It's been frustrating to watch this team so far.

Agreed, but they have been playing better baseball since Tony 'home wrecker' Pena bailed.

The O's had a problem with them last night. KC jumped on Ponson for 8 runs and had a 6 run lead after two innings...that is until Jose Gascan Lima-Time to give up three bombs showed up and got torched again.

For those who left early-
After spotting the Royals a 3-0 second inning lead, the Orioles tied the score in the 3rd,
as Melvin Mora's 2 home runs (now 9 on the season) and 4 RBI led Baltimore to a 7-4 win.
