Well, we didn’t even get into the dog days of summer before the Kansas City Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals took a turn for the worse. Summer has barely begun and both teams have been playing below .500 baseball since I last wrote about their success.
St. Louis had rattled off nine straight wins before my column May 15 and had a record of 23-20. It has gone 14-15 since then and now sits at 37-35 overall. Kansas City was 25-19 and playing well in recent games but has been an abysmal 9-19 since, to be at 34-38 overall.
