Royals 1, White Sox 4
First, the bad news. The Royals lost again, pushing their losing streak to 9 games and their record to 2-11. The Royals could only muster one run even though they were able to get 7 hits. Angel Berroa again muffed a routine play, a trait that has frustrated the Royals for the last two seasons. That error lead to 3 unearned runs.
Now the good news. Jeremy Affeldt actually pitched well, giving up just four hits in six innings. He walked three and struck out three. More importantly, he got throught the first inning without giving up any runs. Berroa's blunder aside, it was a well played game by the Royals. Okay, Berroa's blunder and the fact that they couldn't string thier hits together to score some runs.
One more chance tomorrow to salvage one game of this dismal road trip.
I should also mention that rumor has it that Zack Greinke has reported to Surprise, AZ to begin his spring training. Hopefully, the rotation will have help on the way.
The Bell Curve
Actual Record: 2-11
Runs Scored: 46
Runs Allowed: 95
Projected Record: 25-137
Pythagorean Record: 31-131
Pythagorean Winning %: .190
Let's go get 'em.
