Game 5 - 4/9/2006


White Sox 3, Royals 1

The good news is that Scott Elarton has pitched two straight great games. The bad news is that the Royals can't seem to hit a lick when Elarton's on the mound. Just like Opening Day, the Royals lost 3-1. The Royals couldn't do anything offensively against Mark Buerle, and some critical base running mistakes didn't help matters much. The Royals were able to get a run in the ninth when Reggie Sanders hit his first home run as a Royal.

An off day tomorrow, the Royals then travel to New York to face the Yankees for three afternoon games. As long as Edurado Villacis isn't anywhere in sight, I still feel good about this year's Royals team.

The Bell Curve

Actual Record: 2-3
Runs Scored: 20
Runs Allowed: 30
Projected Record: 65-97
Pythagorean Record: 50-112
Pythagorean Winning %: .308

Let's go get 'em.
