The Royals cruised to a road sweep of the Tigers last night behind Brian Bannister’s six shutout innings and a 10 run offensive outburst that featured just one extra base hit. Hey, good things happen to teams that are playing well. Even Tony Pena Jr. knocked in two runs last night. With the [...]

The Tigers plunged fully and unquestionably into last place Wednesday night at Comerica Park, but one player shined in the dim basement light: rookie Jeff Larish. Larish had three of the Tigers' seven hits off Brian Bannister, who didn't allow a run. Larish had five hits in the three-game sweep in which the Royals shut down the Tigers.

The Royals keep winning, defeating the Tigers 10-4 Wednesday night. Brian Bannister pitches six scoreless innings for the win. I like that Brian is a sabermetrically oriented pitcher, but he's not very good. With the loss, the Royals move one...

Brian Bannister (8-16, 5.96) vs. Nate Robertson (7-10, 6.15) Two teams enter fourth place tonight at Comerica Park, one team will leave in last place. The city of Detroit is still reveling in the Lions' long overdue firing of Matt Millen this morning. It would be nice if the Tigers didn't harsh that mellow with yet another loss that would make them the sole occupant of the AL Central basement. Brian...

The Royals go for eight straight behind Brian Bannister (5.77 ERA) tonight at the K. Bannister has posted a 3.55 ERA at home this season, which is remarkable because nearly all of his other splits are terrible: 7.20 ERA in July, 7.76 in August, 5.94 in September, etc. etc. The White Sox counter with Mark Buehrle (3.85 ERA) . I am excited about not having to spell Buehrle again this season. I'll be...
