Stop the bleeding

Yankees 4 Royals 2
W-Mussina (2-4), L-Affeldt (0-3), Rivera (9)
Royals Season Record: 7 Wins, 16 Loses

Jeremy Affeldt’s outing wasn’t the lights out type of pitching I was hoping for, but he did hold the evil Yankees to four runs in six and a third, once again giving the Royals a chance to win. And once again, they fell short.

Mussina was wild, getting the ball up in the zone and the offense just could not capitalize. The Royals jumped out to an early lead, but Mussina eventually settled down and we missed another opportunity to win a ball game.

It’s on to Toronto. Jimmy Gobble goes up against Justin Miller. Gobble’s 2.82 ERA is by far the lowest of any other starter on the team and at this point, he’s the closest thing we have to a stopper. So stop the bleeding Jimmy. Please.
