A Good Thing - When this here ballclub was conceived and consecrated, it was declared that Luis Castillo and Sonny Gray were dual aces. Neither one earned Cy Young votes last year but they should have (recent analysis indicates there was an enormous pulsating asshole centered in the Cincinnati area that seems to have engaged in a process of “reverse-farting,” sucking all the available Cy Young votes into its mawing sphincter).
The bullpen farted (in the traditional direction) Castillo’s game, but in KC each one threw seven strong innings in turn. With Castillo pitching more like a pup tent and Sonny on the shelf most of the season so far, the soft part of the bullpen has had to pick up the slack and the team has been stung many, many times this year because of that.
