GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went to the game yesterday.....few observations:

Bautista has loads of potential
Sisco let Bautista down
Costa has a rag arm
It was funny watching the hard core Sweeney booers giving high fives to each other late in the game when he hit the 2 run dong
Vasquez was TOUGH..had an amazing off speed pitch working...Grudzielanek showed he could be hit, though, with that opposite field double...Royals hitters fed off that hope

I was there too. I was very impressed by Bautista's stability and endurance. I was less than impressed by Angel Berroa, who used to be my favorite Royal. On one play, in particular, he just let a grounder roll right past him into the outfield, and turn into one of the Sox's biggest plays. At least Sweeney isn't afraid to dive for a catch.

But we don't need Sweeney diving and risking an injury....

I'll admit that every time he moved or was up to bat, I would say something like, "oop! He broke his knee."

[KansasCityCraka]

Holy Damn he needs a hip replacement.

Sanders got another HR so far today.

The royals have also just said that Hernandez will have to start at least 1 more game because of his performance yesterday. He had 73 pitches in 3 innings.

[MidWestSider]

He had 73 pitches in 3 innings.

Damnn!! What were the batters doing? calling for do overs..  like "Hey, I want it slow and bouncy"

Nope he just sucked it big. He allowed 8 ER in those 3 innings.

[KansasCityCraka]

Shane Costa...1 HR today 2 HR's total.

Poor Sisco.

He can't get a left handed hitter out or secure a lead to save his life.

Yeah...that was pretty demoralizing.

[KansasCityCraka]

Fuckers....keep hitting sweeney. He had to go out of the game. Rivera your goin down! 

We had a good game going until sisco fucked it up.

[KCMax]

Good game, killer loss. Good to see some fight in the boys. Tough luck for Sisco, the ump really screwed him over.

[phuqueue]

Sisco needs to get his shit together.  But hey, at least Berroa walked.  I guess there's a little silver lining in everything.

I didn't see the game.  How did the home plate umpire screw Sisco?

First he took him on a baloon ride at sunset, followed by dinner at a romantic beach resturant....

It was a 2-2 count and on the next pitch the UMP called it a ball. They went to an over the plate shot and it was down the center exactly! Sisco ended up walking him instead of getting a SO.

Is there anyone who follows baseball who doesn't think our first week MVP is Elmer Dessens?

He needs a chance to be the number 4 starter. He deserves it, and that opportunity is one of the reasons he signed with the Royals.

i would say dessens, yeah. however, when he signed, you can even look on the royals site, in the archives, he signed to be a relief pitcher, not a starter. and was clear on that.

the guy in spring training that earned a starters job and got screwed out of it in favor of assfeldt, was mike wood. and he looked good today, getting out of a no outs bases loaded jam against sheffield and a rod, says a lot.
