Well, they did it. After a strong outing by Luke Hudson, closer Joe Nelson gave up a game-tying home run to Joe Mauer and the Twins finished off the Royals in the 10th inning, handing them their 100th loss of the season.
After a promising run of great baseball in late August and early September, the Royals have basically crashed over the last two weeks. We here at Breaking 100 were very optimistic that they would avoid the century mark based on the way they were playing. But a combination of injuries (Ryan Shealy’s mysterious hives being the most hurtful) and poor play conspired to hand the Royals their third straight 100-loss season.
Royals fans can take heart though… We still remain optimistic that Dayton Moore will turn the team around.
Lets go get 'em... next year!
