With the 6-3 loss to Detroit last night, the losing streak reached a dozen. And everywhere you turn, from talk radio, to the blogosphere, the Royals are the punch line for many a joke. How about this one from Deadspin: "How bad are the Kansas City Royals? Classically bad. They are bad for the ages. A hundred years from now, children will sing rhymes about the ineptitude of the Royals."
If the streak doesn't end with Denny Bautista on the mound this afternoon, it could go on for a while. I just can't see us winning in New York over the weekend.
Sounds like Jimmy Gobble has earned himself another start after throwing 59 pitches in four innings and only giving up one run yesterday. Four innings? If a spot starter can only go four innings, he's not starter material. But in our rotation—where starters are only averaging five innings per start—I guess he fits as good as anybody else.
Grudzielanek, Brown, and Bako (hey, that sounds like a law firm) each had two hits and Stairs hit a three-run home run. Joe Nelson pitched another scoreless inning in relief.
Berroa Walk Watch: 1 walk in 42 games.
