****OFFICIAL**** Royals-Blue Jays Thread (4/11/07)

[chiefqueen]

Here it is, let's see if I can run my record to 3-0.

[Chief Chief]

Our G-men took control last night...

Now that the first homer's outta the way, let's hope Gordon will be a bit more relaxed at the plate and catch up on his hitting.

Greinke's on his way to the All Star game.

My pick to click tonight: Grudzy, who's hitting the ball solid now.

[ArrowheadHawk]

i predict Pena will triple

Why on earth would a DH (Sweeney) need a day off, especially this early in the year, when he only played about half the spring games, not to mention all he does is hit, or should I say try to hit.

Well I think of it 2 reasons.

1. His health, and Bell has mentioned several times that he's gonna try to keep Sweeney healthy.

2. Playing on that surface in Toronto isn't a good idea for 3 days in a row, especially for a injury prone player in Sweeney.

I know I know, he wants to keep him healthy, but c'mon, all the guy's been doing is swinging once or twice per plate appearance which is 4-5 times a game, then walking back to the dugout, or running to first then walking back to the dugout. He probably puts more strain on his back during BP then he does during the game.

The surface shouldn't matter -- he's a DH only...

Nice inning by De La Rosa

[Silock]

Maybe he's just prepping Sanders to be the DH?

I don't know what else it could be.

Good first inning for de la Rosa.
