Ned Yost will have to wait for Royals’ ‘good week’

Early last week, Royals manager Ned Yost announced that his club was in the division race. Anyone who didn’t believe him was encouraged to take their frowns and go sit under a blanket at Arrowhead and wait for Chiefs season.

Yost seemed to inspire the boys, who promptly swept the Seattle Mariners. Then they went to Chicago and got their asses drummed by the White Sox. The Royals head into the All-Star break in fourth place, right where they were when Yost made his “Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?” speech.
