Another one bites the dust. I hope I'm wrong, but I've been saying since before opening day that something was wrong with Gil Meche. The longer he pitches like he did in this game, the more I'm inclined to thing I'm actually right. 5 walks in 3 and 1/3rd innings. David DeJesus did get an in-the-park homerun in the 6th inning. Highlight of the game for Royals fans I think.

At least the Royals made some changes to the bullpen. We will have to wait and see if they work any better than the guys they are replacing. Bruce Chen and Brad Thompson are coming up to replace Juan Cruz (released outright) and Luis Mendoza (designated for assignment). They can't do much worse, but I'm hoping for good things. We need it.

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?

Callaspo had a great night with two homeruns, giving the Kansas City Royals their first win at the new Target Field. I enjoyed watching this game, not just because the Royals won, but Target Field looks pretty incredible. I'm going to have to make my way up there to see a game in the near future. Hopefully I can plan it around a Royals road trip there. Here are the scorecards, enjoy.

John Parrish finally comes back to Earth. Rick Ankiel on the other hand looked pretty good hitting 2 homeruns in back-to-back at-bats. Royals lose another one but you can't put the blame solely on the shoulders of the bullpen this time. Gil Meche still doesn't look like the $55 million man, and I think it's just a matter of time before his shoulder goes kablooey and he is done for the year. I hope I'm wrong.

Not sure what is going on with Zack Greinke so far this year. He hasn't looked as sharp as hoped, and still doesn't have a win this year in his 3 starts. Greinke gave up 5 walks in a 10-3 loss to the Twins, I don't think I've ever seen Greinke give up 5 walks in one game before. The bullpen, in what is getting to be a normal occurence, couldn't stop the bleeding and the Royals got stomped. I sure hope things get figured out soon, as I'm starting to get nervous about Zack and Gil. Still no wins for our top of the rotation.

Got a little behind on the scorecards due to circumstances around here. Spent most of Saturday night getting caught up on the games, made for a late night watching almost 3 games back to back to back heh. Anyway, here is the scorecard from 14APR10. Couple of items of note on this one. When Adam Everett scored off a (former Royal) Johnny Damon double in the 5th inning, that gave Damon 1000 RBI's for his career. Jose Guillen also got his 200th career homerun in the 7th. Enjoy.

No long post this evening, its my 14th anniversary, and just thought I'd post these scorecards before spending the rest of the evening with my wife. If you are a Tigers fan, you will probably enjoy these... I'm a Royals fan. I did not. Tune in tomorrow for my comments if interested.

Scorecard - 12APR10 - Royals V Tigers

Luke Hochevar and Max Scherzer squared off again, this time at Comerica Park. When they squared off against each other last week, both pitchers walked away with a no-decision. Kyle Farnsworth picked up a win, and Jose Valverde got the loss in the 3-2 11 inning win by the Royals. This time, would be a little different.

Finally, a break-out day for the bats. The Royals really put things together, with help from the 4 errors committed by the Detroit Tigers, getting 10 runs on 15 hits.

Neither pitcher really had great stuff today, but Hochevar (1-0) had better run support, and only 1 error behind him. The failing of the Tigers defense attributed a fair amount to the loss for Scherzer (0-1) today, and he didn't help himself much either. A throwing error in the top of the 5th inning allowed David DeJesus to score to make it a 5-3 Royals lead.

Jose Guillen, and Carlos Guillen oddly enough, homered today for his third in the last two games. Maybe playing DH is helping him out more than he would like to admit. The Royals bullpen also had a decent day, if you ignore the trouble Kyle Farnsworth got himself into and then out of in the 9th inning. The past couple of games the bullpen has done a fair to decent job, far better what they were showing the first 5 games of the season, I only hope it continues. John Parrish had two hitless and scoreless innings behind Hochevar, and is starting to get folks around here talking about him.

Royals win 10-5 in Detroit, here is the scorecard, enjoy.

I've got this game scored, but didn't get it scanned in last night. Check back here later tonight if you are interested in seeing it. Sure hope Jacoby Ellsbury is ok, hate to see anyone get hurt, and he took one heck of a knee to the ribs.

Another one bites the dust. Weekends are usually pretty busy for me, as my 3 year old son wants to actually do things instead of watch baseball with dad. Someday he will change his tune. :) Since I'm normally running around with the family on the weekends, I record the game, and then watch/score it after everyone else has gone to bed. Recaps on the weekend games will probably be brief, but I'll be sure to post up the scorecards as soon as I'm able.

Not much to say about this game, but if you are a Red Sox fan you got to see 5 homeruns, including back-to-back homers, unfortunately for Royals fans two of them came off Zack Greinke. Hermida and Varitek got a couple of meatballs to feast off of, and they did. The Red Sox ended up winning the game 8-3, at least it was a beautiful day. Enjoy the scorecard.

Scorecard - 09APR10 - Red Sox V Royals

I'm tired, and this game took alot out of me. I saw plays that I'd never seen before, screamed at my television, and stomped out of my house. I also howled with joy when the Royals pulled out a victory. :) This weekend is going to be busy around my house so the recaps will be short and sweet. Expect something like this:

1. Ortiz gets tossed arguing a strike!
2. Kendall had his foot outside the batters box on the bunt?!? really?
3. What the hell was that call on Guillen and the dead ball? I don't even understand.

I obviously need to peruse the rule book abit more, cause darn it all if I'm not confused tonight. However, the Royals pulled off a nice come from behind victory over the Boston Red Sox 4-3.

Tomorrow brings us a classic pitching matchup, Greinke V Beckett. I can't wait. Now the scorecard.
