I still think it's early to decide that, but he is kicking ass. I wish there was a better lineup with him, he'd have way more rbis.

He just hit another home run...the streak is now at 5. I think it's pretty safe to say that this is the hottest that any Royal has been since Brett wore the blue and white. As long as we keep him, he could very well end up being the second greatest Royal in history, only behind Brett.

Mike just got hit on the thumb/knuckle by a pitch. Slow motion ain't fun to watch. Hope he can still play.

Sweeney hit by pitch, injures hand
DICK KAEGEL The Kansas City Star SEATTLE - Royals first baseman Mike Sweeney was struck in the right hand by a pitch and had to leave Wednesday night's game against the Seattle Mariners. Sweeney was hit by right-hander Joel Pineiro's high pitch as he led off the Royals' fourth inning. The ball whizzed under Sweeney's chin and appeared to strike both his hand and his bat. Frank Kyte, one of the Royals' trainers, led Sweeney off the field. Sweeney suffered a laceration on his right ring finger and was to have an X-ray on the finger. On Tuesday night, Sweeney's home run broke a 5-5 tie and led to a 7-5 Mariners loss. It was his sixth homer in the last eight games. But the count was full, three balls and two strikes, when Sweeney was hit, so it's unlikely that Pineiro was trying to brush him back. Pineiro held his head in apparent dismay when Sweeney was hit. Sweeney has been involved in a battle for the American League batting lead with the Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki during this series. When Wednesday night's game began, Suzuki was in the lead, .366 to .363. When Sweeney popped out in his first at-bat, his average dipped to .362. Meanwhile, Suzuki had a double in his first three trips to the plate. Brandon Berger ran for Sweeney after he was hit by the pitch. email this | print this
