Game 14 - 4/15/2008

Royals 6, Mariners 11

This one was ugly. You always know that there will be games where your pitching staff just gets rocked, and this was one of those games.

Hopefully, Gil will get on track tonight in Anaheim.

Game 13 - 4/14/2008

Royals 5, Mariners 1

This is odd. In back-to-back games, the Royals had a 107-pitch, complete game performance by their starting pitcher, and the Royals won both games 5-1.

UPDATE:I was wrong. Banny threw 111 pitches on Sunday. My bad.


Something special is happening this April.

Game 85 - 7/4/2007

Mariners 4, Royals 0

Dang, Brian Bannister pitched a helluva game - AFTER the first inning. Unfortunately, Seattle's Jared Washburn also pitched a helluva game, but he did it from the get go. The Mariners were able to get 4 runs in the top of the first, and that was it.

To make things even more frustrating, the fireworks show fizzled. Ah well... The Royals still continue to show improvement, which is nice.

Game 83 - 7/2/2007

Mariners 2, Royals 3

We are officially past the halfway point of the season, and the Royals are on track to break 100. Their poor start is unfortunate, since they have played so well over the past month or so. The biggest impact right now seems to be the bullpen (shock!).

Questions to ponder for the second half:

• Will the Royals leave Grienke in the 'pen?
• Will Grienke go back to the rotation?
• Will Grienke become the close?
• If so, what happens to Dotel?
• Will the Royals ever settle on a first baseman?
• What will they do with all the DH's when Sweeney returns?
• Is Moore pondering any big trades?
• Is Moore pondering a managerial change?
• Will Alex Gordon continue to mash?

It will be fun to watch!!!
