As most of you know by now, our own Kansas City Royals dusted the Boston Red Sox 7-1 in yesterday's home opener. Mark Grudzielanek came through big on the same day he received his Gold Glove, driving in three runs as a part of the Royals 12-hit attack. Tony Pena, Jr. hit two off-the-wall triples. Gil Meche looked like a bargain. I'd like to offer some thoughts on yesterday's game (which both authors attended):
--Who the hell is Angel Berroa?
--The Royals struck out 10 and walked one, which has to be the greatest K/BB ratio the Royals have ever posted.
--People got drunk. Kansas City remains the classiest location in the midwest.
--Live hot dog race? I'm not sure I'm ready for this.
--Plenty more gimmicky Royals marketing to come, I fear
--REO Speedwagon postgame concert this summer is in the works (????)
--Buddy Bell had a blowup doll labeled "J.P. Ricchiardi" that he was punching after the game. Is the vaunted Royals/Blue Jays rivalry finally approaching Yankees/Red Sox levels?
--Odalis Perez vs. Josh Beckett, 7:05 PM, Wednesday. See you all then.
