Laredo beat KC last night 21-0 ... the temperature in Laredo was 102.
I would just LOVE to be on the losing end of that game in South Texas on a Wednesday.
Seriously, a roster has to be constructed and managed for that style of play and it doesn't exclude the long ball, just mixes it in to keep the defense honest. I believe, without checking, that Gary has 3 home runs this month, 10 or so for the entire season.
