Doing what we should

Go Royals! Three things were accomplished last night: 1) Redman finally pitched like before when he was on a hot streak (I forgive 2 runs at the end b/c of his high pitch count, he probably shouldn't have been out there, and we have a 7-2 lead at the time), 2) the Royals are no longer baseball's worst team (overtook J.P. Howell's loss with the Devil Rays to pull a 1/2 game ahead), and 3) they beat a beatable pitcher. How many times have the Royals faced a rookie or veteran with a 5+ ERA and lost 5-1 or something similar. Well, they are finally manhandling bad pitchers. For instance, Piniero came in with a 5+ ERA and they got 4 R off him in 4 IP. This is significant. As a bad team playing above average (at least offensively), a fan would expect the offense, at least, to decimate opposing bad pitching. Whether we achieve a win is another matter.
