Royals season just keeps getting weirder and weirder...
This is the same team that lost a game earlier this year when a fly ball to center hit a sea gull in Cleveland...
Latest fur ball: Royals cough up another loss
By BOB DUTTON
The Kansas City Star
A scared cat had seen enough of the Royals on Wednesday.

The highlight Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium — judging by the cheers from the crowd — came in the Seattle fifth inning when a cat came charging onto the field from who knows where.
The interruption did dull the pain momentarily from this latest Royals’ loss — a numbing 11-6 drubbing in which Kyle Davies marked his return from the minors by surrendering eight runs in just 3 2/3 innings
The Mariners scored six times in a decisive fourth inning, including four with two outs, while sending 10 men to the plate.
The Royals produced a 12-hit attack that included Gordon’s first three-hit game since returning from a three-month absence following hip surgery. Gordon and Billy Butler each hit homers. Butler finished with three RBIs.
With all that, it still wasn’t close.
Seattle had 16 hits, including at least one from every starter. Russell Branyan and José Lopez each had three RBIs.
It could have been worse. The crowd of 27,805 loved the cat. |
