Bob Lutz: Escobar sets the table and the Royals feast against Toronto

I hear they have cheap seats available for senior citizens at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. Um, perhaps that’s where R.A. Dickey and Latroy Hawkins should watch Wednesday’s ALCS Game 5.

Not to be cruel, but these guys are old. And they pitched like it Tuesday, all but putting the baseball on a tee for the Kansas City Royals’ hitters.

Dickey was knocked out in the second inning. Hawkins was treated rudely when he entered the game in the seventh, when it was still a game.

Collectively, the Blue Jays geezers — Hawkins is 42 and Dickey will be 41 in nine days — allowed six hits and eight runs in 1 2/3 innings.
