Start of Baseball Season

The beginning of baseball season is one of my favorite times of year. Maybe it's the feeling that spring really is here. Or maybe its the anticipation of what the new season will bring for my favorite team - the Kansas City Royals. I don't know but I always get jazzed.

The Royals were supposed to open their season in Chicago tomorrow against the White Sox; however I just found out that the opener was postponed until Tuesday due to weather. Bummer.

As I say every year - THIS could be the season the Royals win it all. You never know. That is what is so exciting about it.

KC Royals Watch

8/3/08. I still follow the Royals every day but have been too busy to keep up the KC Royals Watch. The Royals' ejection-filled 14-3 win today over the White Sox moves us within 8 games of .500 (52-60).

5/19/08. Boston's Jon Lester threw a no-hitter against KC tonight, leading the Red Sox to a 7-0 victory over the Royals.

5/18/08. The Royals improved their record to 21-22 today by defeating the Marlins 9-3. Zack Greinke allowed 3 runs in six innings & got the win. Greinke is now 5-1 with a 2.18 ERA.

5/17/08. The Marlins ended the Royals 5 game winning streak, beating KC by a score of 7-3. Joey Gathright injured his shoulder in an outfield collision with David DeJesus. The Marlins roughed up Royals starter Brian Bannister in the 7th inning. Bannister's record dropped to 4-5.

5/16/08. The Royals beat the Florida Marlins 7-6 in an interleague game. The normally reliable Joakim Soria gave up a two-run homer in the ninth inning but still managed to pick up his 11th save of the season. Royals have now won five games in a row and stand at 20-21.

5/1/08. The Kansas City Royals dropped the series finale against the Rangers this afternoon here in Texas, losing 2-1. My man Zack Greinke pitched another solid game, but a lack of run support resulted in his first loss of the season. After losing 2 of 3 to Texas, KC is now 12-16 and in last place.

4/27/08. Toronto avoided a series sweep by beating KC 5-2 tonight. Royals fall to 11-14.

4/26/08. Luke Hochevar led the Royals to a 2-1 victory over the Blue Jays and picked up his first career win. Royals now 11-13.

4/25/08. Finally! The Royals snapped their 7 game losing streak tonight by beating Toronto 8-4. Zack Greinke pitched another great game but didn't get the win thanks to a blown save by Leo Nunez. Royals now 10-13.

4/22/08. Royals dropped their fifth straight tonight. Cleveland rocks KC 15-1. Royals drop to 9-11 and into 3rd place.

4/16/08. The Royals lost 11-6 to Seatlle on Tuesday night. John Bale had another HORRIBLE start. He is now 0-3 with a 7.63 ERA. Royals fall to 8-6.

4/15/08. Zack Grienke pitched another gem last night. Grienke followed up Brian Bannister's complete game win on Sunday with one of his own Monday, leading the Royals to a 5-1 victory over Seattle. Royals now 8-5.

4/10/08. It was a long night at the ballpark tonight for the Royals. Yanks avoid a sweep in game delayed by rain. KC falls to 6-3.

4/9/08. Royals win 4-0 behind a strong outing by Zack Greinke, who pitched 8 shutout innnings. KC now 6-2!

4/8/08. The Royals had a great home opener today winning 5-2 over the New York Yankees. Record is now 5-2!
