Freddy Garcia starts Game 1 tonight and they Needs to go deep into the game the Bullpen To Give a break. 
Ozzie doesn't want-to-use Matt Thornton (general soreness) and all today, and he'd also like to Stay way from JJ Putz (knee). Odds are, Putz is going to Have to pitch one of the games tonight.

* Umpire / crew chief "Country" Joe West has Taken a beating for last night's rainout, but their proposal is they are NOT TO blame. 
It was the Royals' call to start the game Even though there was heavy rain and lightning Bearing down on Kauffman Stadium.
