I-70 East Series Looks for a Winner Tonight, in St Louis!

Well. This will be Meche's first appearance against St. Louis. The Royals will give the ball to Gil Meche (4-6, 3.00 ERA), who ended a five-start losing streak Friday night, allowing one run and six hits in eight innings to beat Florida 6-2.

Meche has done some homework. The right-hander posted a 5.76 ERA during his string of five losses. His analysis: "The first three innings I couldn't get real comfortable," Meche told the Royals' official Web site. "I was looking at my tapes to see if I noticed anything. My rhythm wasn't where it needed to be. I was going to be early, I was going to be late, I couldn't get my leg up in time. Finally, I just slowed down into a good rhythm."g his skid.

Bily Butler has had time to unpack today, he may slip in for his bat early in the game. Could he start? Maybe we should all be calling Royals offices today!
