From Last Night:

• Strasburg goes 8, allows 1 R on 2 H/0 BB/12 K, but loses despite a 4-2 final score…yeah…think about that…#KillTheWin
• Price goes the distance on 97 pitches to lead the Rays over the Sox
• Santana pitches well, but the Royals need a walk off to beat the O’s
• Garza is superb in his Rangers debut, beats the Yanks 3-1
• Braves beat the Mets but lose Hudson to a broken ankle
• Dodgers get 5 in the 10th to beat the Jays
• Kamzir helps the Indians pummel the M’s
• The Angels blank the Twins, 1-0

What I’m Watching Today:

• Wood and Wheeler in NY (1230p Eastern)
• Burnett faces Gio (1230p Eastern)
• Kuroda takes on Holland (2p Eastern)
• Latos goes against Greinke (10p Eastern)

The Big Question:

• Are the Royals even a self-aware entity at this point?

Apparently, the Royals who are 47-51, 8 GB, and have no reason to expect they will play better, are considering buying at the deadline despite it being a seller’s market. Additionally, they are considering upgrading in right field. I wonder if the Rays would part with Wil Myers? I legitimately feel pain for Royals fans. This is embarrassing.
