April 29-May 1: Kansas City Royals @ Texas Rangers

[ljshorty89]

I'd first like to apologize for the long layoff. I got some bad news regarding a family member who is trying to fight off cancer, and had to take a few days to really clear my mind. With that said, I'm back, and as far as I know, I should be back to normal for a while.

Series Preview:
April 29-May 1, 2008
Kansas City Royals (24-1) vs. Texas Rangers (8-18)

Dave Ryan (4-1, 4.22 ERA) vs. Vincente Padilla (1-2, 7.66 ERA)
Brett Witrick (4-0, 3.48 ERA) vs. Sidney Ponson (1-1, 7.85 ERA)
Jon Mulder (4-0, 1.80 ERA) vs. Josh Rupe (1-1, 12.46 ERA)

Talk about a mismatch...

wow...I just missed a perfect game. when did they get the hit and what was it? 18 k's, too...sweet.

[ljshorty89]

The hit was a Chris Shelton double(soft liner that fell in and then beat the outfielders to the gap) in the 4th inning.

[Kingdom]

I think I'll sign John Mulder to my ootp 9 franchise team. Edinson Volquez has been underachieving. ;]

[Providence A's]

we don't still have Stairs out there, do we?

KoZ...I'll work for boobs and beer...for the love of the game

[Kingdom]

I'm the yankees, I could give you 100 million if you also want that.
