Six games back!

The Royals have lost three in a row now, as they fall six games back from first place. The Royals didn't struggle on the Run portion of the game, but they did struggle as their pitching fell down hill. The Bull pen looked like they were tired yet again and showed struggle, this after Mendoza pitched a gem on Friday night, but that made no difference for the Double header on Saturday and again on sunday as the Royals fell short in all three games. They simply looked worn and torn. As the series with the Twins is now over, They look to Face the the BlueJays in Toronto. So here we go,


Tonight @ 6:07pm, Ricky Romero looks to play host to Everett Teaford. Romero is 8-2 with an ERA of 4.94 as Teaford is 0-1 with an ERA of 5.06. Look for a great match-up here as Teaford looks to get his first win after being Blown out by the Cardinals 2 weeks ago, being sent to Omaha, and then winning in a no decision against Tampa last Wednesday. Not to mention Romero is coming off his worst outing of this season. So as I stated look for a good game.


Tomorrow July 3, 2012 @ 6:07pm it will be Brett Cecil hosting Vin Mazzaro. Cecil is 1-1 on the season with an ERA of 6.06 while Mazzaro is 3-2 with an ERA of 4.72. look for a great match up here as Mazzaro looks to Redeem himself as well as Cecil. both got smashed in there last outing, and would love a win, so that is why I call a good game.


Wednesday July 4, 2012 @ 6:07pm it will be Carlos Villanueva Taking on Luis Mendoza. Villanueva is 2-0 this season with a 3.52 ERA as Mendoza is 3-4 with an ERA of 4.50. Look for a good game from both Pitchers here as well. The reason for this is Mendoza is coming off a great outing, in which he pitched 8 innings and gave 1 run, as for Villanueva, He struggled through 5 innings on friday, but got the win any way.

I have the Royals bouncing back and beating the BlueJays 2 games to 1 in this series. I think the young team will do what they have done all season, more recently in the past 15 games, swept, 4 game win streak, swept, 4 game win streak , swept, now I look to see a sweep or a 2 game streak and a loss on the fourth. Look for a good series between these two teams, as three decent pitchers with Decent defenses, go head to head over the next three days.
