I know we've all made remarks about Kansas City's very ordinary pitching staff, but I didn't realize they were this ordinary....
From Jayson Stark:
In case you haven't noticed, the Kansas City Royals aren't your normal, every-day playoff contender. They've already used 27 pitchers -- which would be the most ever by a team that made the playoffs. And they just added No. 28 -- Brian Anderson. But that's mere trivia, compared to the other "record" they could set:
They can be the first team in history to finish in first place (over a full season) without any pitchers winning 10 games.
Wow. Here's (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&id=1603622) the story.
