Know Thine Enemy: Royals Review
I'd like to thank the Rangers for letting us know there are ways other than "Scott Ullger" for a third-base coach to impact a game.
Slowey makes his first start in two weeks. Please stay healthy. Please.
Generic McIrishname came over to the Royals in the Alberto Callaspo trade.

Notes:
- ESPN1500's Phil Mackey Tweets that Brian Fuentes might be available today or tomorrow.
- He also notes that Valencia wants to play but is being held out again as a precautionary measure.
- Multiple sources are reporting that Glen Perkins and Pat Neshek will be promoted after the game today, and that Jacque Jones will not.
- The streaking White Sox play the Tigers at noon. Good matchup: Jackson v. Scherzer. Does not appear to be on WGN or MLB for those playing at home.
Enjoy the game, everybody.
