Royals Play like Pond Scum Again! ...Sigh!

The fine KC Royals were the hottest team in baseball just about a week or so ago. This team won eight times of ten, came home from a winning record on a long road trip and then took two of three against the division leaders. Buddy Bell has no answer for the latest sweep dust and trash at the hands of the Mariners at our own ballpark. The Royal manager puts it simply, we gotta manufacture good run support so our starting pitchers arent thrown in a hole in the game's, any game's, first three innings. “Sounds like the last four games we’re talking about the same game,” manager Buddy Bell said. “Not enough pitching, not enough offense. That’s a bad combination.” Losing their fourth sweep of the season, he adds, “We’ve got to do some things offensively that we haven’t done consistently all year,” Bell said.

“We don’t hit a lot of home runs, so we’ve got to string hits together. I really believe we will start stringing hits together because we are capable." Maybe this team will start to finally follow through, drag a few bunts, steal a few bases and use their team speed. They have the weapons, in the young legs, but thoase weapons are not yet being called from the closet. Maybe while this team is down in the division basement they can do the housekeeping necessary to clean out those closets! What do you think?
