Royals 7, Orioles 8
In yet another sign that we're dealing with just a plain ol' bad team, the Royals blew another game where they had the lead and a chance to win.
Closer (term to be used lightly) Ambiorix Burgos could not find the strike zone in the ninth when he came into the game to preserve a 7-4 lead. He couldn't do it and after the O's tied it at 8, Buddy Bell called upon Jimmy Gobble to try to get the game into extra innings. Gobble gave up a single allowing the winning run to score.
Meanwhile David Glass, who said two or three weeks ago that he is frustrated and wouldn't wait and see to see if things got better, still seems to be waiting and seeing. His "immenent changes" are MIA and it's losing as usual for the Royals. Rumor has it Glass had a new GM or two selected, but they turned down the job when Glass refused to take his son Dan Glass out of the decision making process.
It's been said that Dan Glass has vetoed several trades that Allard Baird has tried to pull off contributing to the mess the team is in now. If a new GM is to take this job, he should expect to be soley responsible for decisions.
The Glasses have never been too popular in Kansas City, but these recent events have pushed Royals fans to the edge.
