The Kansas City Royals are coming to town and, if the Orioles had just had a bit more successful a road trip, I might be feeling cocky. If not for the historically bad season being had by the Oakland A’s this season, all eyes would be on the Royals and their 18-44 as the most pathetic team in baseball. Veteran Salvador Perez and youngster Vinnie Pasquantino are the only players batting better than league average.
