*** Twinkies @ Royals game thread 6/04 ***
 

Go Royals! We need to keep the Twins in the cellar.

Be nice if we could get some runs for Smith early. It always helps to be able to pitch with a lead, especially for the new starters

I'm looking for Smith to have a good first inning. It seems like his poor performance may have been due to nerves. A strong start to tonight's game would be a positive sign that he's more ready for the majors than his poor start would have indicated.

Tough hop there for Gio.

Ugh, that wasn't good.

Bummer.

Royals pissed about Zimmer selection, too.

Was the #2 hitter safe? I never saw a replay and thought he was out live.

I thought so too but they never showed a replay

Will Smith had best be on a short leash this evening. We can't afford to be giving up games to the likes of Minny

I thought so too, but the announcers didn't seem to make an issue of it, so I just assumed I was wrong.

Well thats not a good start for Smith.

Hud doesn't like to start problems

Well this is some no name pitcher... I wouldn't be surprised if the Royals put up a big goose egg against the guy.

Gordon on a seven game hitting streak since being put back at the top of the order and staying there. What a shocker Yost!
