Starters: KC – Gil Meche (2-2, 4.14 ERA)  LAA – Matt Palmer (2-0, 3.65 ERA)

Game Info: 7:05 PM PT TV-Fox Sports West, Radio-KLAA 830 AM, KFWB, KWKW 1330 AM

After bidding adieu to the AL-best Toronto Blue Jays, the third-place Angels host the first place Kansas City Royals.

There are just so many things wrong with that sentence.  It didn’t even feel natural to right even though it is technically correct.

What to Watch For:

• Can the Palmer magic continue?
• With A-Rod back and Man-Ram suspended, will anyone be able to actually talk about the Angels game or just steroids?
• How badly will Jose Guillen get heckled?  I went to a Spring Training game between these two clubs back in March and the Angel fans were absolutely relentless… and that was at the KC Spring Training facility too.
