Scorecard - 21APR10 - Royals V Blue Jays

Finally, a win in Toronto for the Royals. Yet another no-decision for Zack Greinke though. If I were him I think I'd have a private sit-down with the bullpen. Greinke pitched great, striking out 8 and only issuing 1 walk. A far better appearance then we saw against the Twins on 16 April when he gave up 5 walks. The only other high point in this game was seeing Alex Gordon hit a 10th inning homerun to win the game. Hopefully his thumb is good-to-go and we will see something out of his bat this year.

With another good start by the Kansas City Royals starting pitching ending in a loss, I don't have a whole lot to say. So I'll talk abit about the Rogers Centre. Do people even go to games in Toronto? That was an empty stadium, it looked like a ghost town for this series with the Royals. I thought it was particularly funny when Mitch Maier went for a foul ball in deep left field and lost his glove into the seats. A fan must have come from 20 rows away to toss it back to him since there wasn't a single person sitting in that section, heck, he was jumping up on the wall to go into the seats to get it himself. Anyway, was a close game, but the Royals came out with the short straw again.

What is the problem with all the balls and walks thrown by the Royals this year? It seems like the entire pitching staff has contracted whatever illness has been hanging around the bullpen. I'll call it "Balls" because it seems I'm not seeing anything else. Just lots of "Balls", and I'll be honest, it's not really something I enjoy looking at. Just isn't my thing... at all.

Here's the outcome from the first game of the Royals three game series with the Blue Jays. I sure hope the next two games don't have as many "Balls" splashed across my new HD television. HD "Balls", double ugh. I love you guys, just please, enough "Balls" on my screen ok?
