Greinke feelin' it (in a good way)
If you've found yourself disenchanted or perhaps just bored with baseball over the past 30 years or so, I've got a story for you.  Way too early to be talking playoffs for the Royals but there is definitely magic in the air.  Their ace -- and baseball's ace so far -- is Zack Greinke -- an unassuming guy of 25 who came up a highly touted prospect but almost disappeared from baseball until he got diagnosed and treated for depression.  The backstory is nice but the four-pitch arsenal is nasty.  In the era of 3+ relief pitchers per night per team with a lot of hanging curve balls mixed in there, a guy who can shred through a potent  line up in 2 hours 19 min is a thrill to watch.

did anyone see him put alexei ramirez on his back with a high/tight fastball, followed by three straight knee-buckling - on the outside corner - curveballs for the strikeout on monday night?
wow.
