Royals took Game 1 after their 6 run comeback against Jon Garland & co.

DeJesus will not play today because he strained a hammy (i think).

Costa will start in his place, though I'm not sure who will lead off.

Pitching Matchup is Javier Vasquez v. Denny Bautista.

Bautista is exciting, but needsto develop stamina and consistency.

1:10 first pitch on RSTN.

If you want to follow along, I'll be watching the whole thing.

That was a very entertaining ballgame. Loved the pitching. Solid defense. Very, very timely hitting. It's been a long time since I've actually seen a solid outing on TV by KC. Great time (and taught my five year old daughter how to read the game graphics on the screen to keep her pop updated as the game progressed...excellent...)!

Hometown team? Who are the Springfield Cardinals playing?

It's their slogan not mine.

But I saw your stadium for the first time last week.

Pretty nice I must say.

You could say that about The K, too.

VonneMarie · 04-08-2006, 05:21 PM

Great game. I think Sweeney's homerun ought to shut the boobirds up for a while. Now, let's get the sweep tommorrow!

VonneMarie · 04-08-2006, 05:25 PM

I found this on a WhiteSux board about Mike Sweeney and I must say I have to agree.

in the last 60 days

Career#'s vs Sox

In 110 games he has a .322BA with a .395 OBP with .602 slugging for a .996 OPS. He has crushed 28 dongs(most against any team) and has 90 RBI or almost 1 rbi per game against us. Maybe we should pick another poison to beat us. We have only IBB him 3 times in his career.

Here are some other splits

Buerhle he has a .353 BA with a 1.147 OPS
Garcia he has a .435BA with a 1.1317 OPS
Garland he has a .341BA with a 1.189 OPS

The Count has shut him down with a .250BA and a .641 OPS
From the Relief group.
Politte came into today with a .429 BA and a 1.587 OPS
Jenks he only faced 4 times but has a .750BA with a 1.750 OPS

He pretty much is like facing Barry Bonds everytime we face him when you look at these sick numbers. Hopefully Ozzie and the staff will pick someone else to beat us, because pretty much Mike is as good as it gets when he faces the sox.

Hopefully we pretty much give him nothing to hit tomorrow.

tk13 · 04-08-2006, 05:43 PM

Buehrle always seems to pitch us tough. Sweeney is usually the one guy we have that can hit him. I'm sure we'll see some righties in the lineup tomorrow.

Demonpenz · 04-08-2006, 05:45 PM

That wasn't an easy pitch to handle for sweeney. I am glad he was able to hook it into the first row. Thank god the K is a pitchers friendly park. There were a couple bombs that died on the warning track today. I wish we could move gordon to the OF or something teahan continues to struggle

Rangers down 4-0 in the first inning already, christ.

Millwood sucks.

Yeah, but the boo-birds will be back if Sweeney goes 0-3 or 0-4 tomorrow though.
