Somebody asked me this afternoon if the Royals would be in first place in the AL Central if they won tonight. The thing is . . . I haven’t made it a habit to do any scoreboard watching since the 1980s—with a brief little respite in 2003. I haven’t had any reason to scoreboard watch. By mid-May the Royals are usually buried in the standings. Then something like tonight happens; the Royals scored four runs against closer Kerry Wood to steal one away. How could I not look up the standings after that? For the record, the Royals are 1.0 game out of first place, behind the Tigers.
