Game 60 - 6/10/2006

Devil Rays 9, Royals 5

Reggie Sanders finally stroked his 300th homerun, a meaningless shot in the ninth inning of yet another ugly loss for the Royals. Sanders became only the fifth major leaguer to have 300 homeruns along with 300 stolen bases (the others? Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Bobby Bonds and Andre Dawson). Forgive us, Reggie, if we Royals fans don't seem very excited. Of your 300 homers, we've seen 8; and of your 302 stolen bases, we've seen 5. And we've noticed that you have more strike outs than games played. If we could trade your milestone for a .500 record, you'd be out of KC in a second.

The Bell Curve

Expected Record 17-42

Let's go get 'em
