The Royals returned to their losing ways on Saturday night, falling to the Atlanta Braves 5-0 at Kauffman Stadium.

For one of the few times in my life, I’m rather unhappy to have predicted the future. Friday night I—rather cynically—Tweeted the following, hoping that the Kansas City Royals would show me up the next day:

What terrifies me is that we'll wake up tomorrow and find out today's return to normal for the #Royals was a Friday the 13th thing

I can’t say I’m really happy about it.

So, on to my observations about today’s debacle…er, I mean game:
