Pain in the neck

I keep waiting for Jose Guillen to get hot. We need his bat to come alive...our offense is anemic, and a hot streak from our big free agent acquisition is the cure. Unfortunately, Guillen's got a neck pain that held him out of last night's game.

Just when he was (maybe) about to go on a hot streak. I went to the game Wedensday night to see our boys take on the the Angels (and too see the Greinke vs. Weaver matchup). The Royals bats woke up - especially Guillen's; he had three hits - three SOLID hits - before coming out of the game with a pain in the neck.

According to the KC Star, he may be able to play tonight. If not, it looks like Callaspo will be back in left field again - which is fine, as he hits when he plays. Hopefully, though, we'll see Guillen get back in the game and stay hot for an extended stretch of time.

On a positive note - nobody is running away from the pack in the AL West, here are the current standings:

Minnesota 17-16
Chicago 16-17
Cleveland 16-18
Kansas City 15-19
Detroit 15-21

It's still anyone's for the taking....
