The Kansas City Royals completed their first season-opening sweep since 2003 against, arguably, the best offensive line-up in baseball, the Detroit Tigers. The pitching was spectacular, giving up only five earned runs in three games (Including a shutout in game two) while striking out twenty-four batters. Joakim Soria even pitched all three ninth innings and got two saves.The offensive wasn't too shabby either. Alex Gordon had two 2-run homeruns in the series, and Butler, Guillen and Teahan had a couple of RBIs each.
Yes I know, it's only the first three games of the season. But come ON!!! This is the Royals we're talking about.
Bring on the Twins!!!!

I was talking to a co-worker yesterday about the upcoming home opener and we agreed that it was quite perplexing why they are opening against the Yank-mees. The opener would be a sell-out as usual, but I'm wondering if this was done to boost sales for the remainder of the series. Sure, they've got to play someone.
Last night I was trying to find data on the first series they swept both home and away for last season, but it was taking considerably more time to research than I was willing to spend for a quick post.
3 and 1 baaaaaaaby :(
4-2 baaaaaaaaaaaaby
In other news...
I'm very surprised 2 dyed-in-the-wool KU fans like yourself and Craig Hughes haven't commented on the Jayhawk win and subsequent National Championship game.
Oh I've commented, just not on my blog.
ROCK CHALK!!!!
