<p><b>Jordan Webb becomes the starter at KU</b></p>
<p>Kansas Jayhawks head coach Turner Gill held a quarterback competition late into the offseason and finally chose Kale Pick only a couple weeks before the season.</p>
<p>In the first game, Pick didn't look very good -- and neither did Webb, frankly -- losing 6-3 to North Dakota State. So Gill made a chance<a href="http://kansascity.sbnation.com/2010/9/4/1670533/north-dakota-state-kansas-jayhawks-upset"> announcing Jordan Webb would be the starter </a>against Georgia Tech on Saturday.<a href="http://kansascity.sbnation.com/2010/9/4/1670533/north-dakota-state-kansas-jayhawks-upset"><br></a></p>
<p>Two starters in two weeks isn't a good thing. Quarterback is a position that has a lot of mental aspects to it and now Webb knows that if he has one bad game, he'll be yanked just like Pick.</p>
<p>KU's in big trouble this year.</p>

<p><b>Greinke loses to the Twins, again</b></p>
<p><a href="http://kansascity.sbnation.com/2010/9/8/1676203/zack-greinke-twins-royals">The other day I noted</a> that Zack Greinke has lost his last three starts to the Twins giving up 18 runs and 23 hits in 14 innings.</p>
<p>This time around it wasn't quite bad but he still got the loss.</p>
<p>Greinke went the complete game -- his second complete game loss of the year -- and the Royals ninth inning rally fell short giving the Twins the 4-3 win and the series sweep.</p>
<p>I wonder why they're in first place....</p>
