Ready for the Second "Half"

A few games past the midpoint, but close enough to consider this the beginning of baseball's second half, let's bullet-point out a few things I'm looking forward to the next couple of months.

• Lorenzo Cain tracking down everything in center
• Almost any kind of production at the plate will be better than what the Royals have gotten this season. Let's just remember, Cain got hurt making a spectacular grab at the wall.
• Eric Hosmer regressing to the mean
• A profit once writ: his BABIP will rise!
• Salvador Perez putting his finger through Jonathan Sanchez's chest during a mound visit
• Salvy seems to, how do you say it? give a shit on the field. I think he might just be the guy to put a fire into Sanchez. I'm not saying the ball will start finding the strike zone, but maybe the velocity will go up a tick.
• Mike Moustakas hitting another grand slam
• Or, just more home runs in general.
• Billy Butler hitting everything
• Just do what you do, Country Breakfast. The fans showed their love for you over this All Star Break, and we all mean it.
• Alex Gordon dominating
• And leading off the rest of the season. 
• Bruce Chen baffling 
• Hitters or the fans, I don't know. But one of those two groups, for sure.
• Chris Getz grimacing 
• It's what gritty players do.
• Brayan Pena smiling
• Being employed is nice.
• Alcides Escobar doing a back flip
• He isn't a show off. I just imagine this happening because of some combination of a slow roller, a base runner and an umpire trying to get in his way while making a play.
• The entire bullpen whiffing everybody
• I really believe it is possible for this group to K the entire line up once through in the 7th, 8th and 9th inning of a game.
• Jeff Francoeur nailing the tying run at the plate for a playoff contender
• Probably won't be the Royals, but Frenchy seems to do well in new environments. 
• Wil Meyers first major league home run
• I call fountains.
• Jake Odorizzi's first major league win
• The sooner the better.
