Riske took a risk and threw a buntable strike to Pudge. And Pudge took him yard. Blown saves are nothing new for KC either. Play nine innings. Well, how about that.

I just finished watching Sports Center after a long day of celebrating, and this one escapes my memory now. Which Royal deflected that Bonderman pitch up into his face?

If it's not too much of a pain, that would be a nice thing to have for all the game threads. Thanks for linking to the box score, Billfer.

Just having a tough time to start the season out. He is going to a great HR park against a team he loves to face in his career. .321/.397/.568 in 243 at bats. Gary will be fine.

Pudge is going to have a big year IMO. Yup it was in August last year, one of the best games I went to in ’06. Pudge is going to have a big year IMO.

Verlander (hard RHP) - Moroth (soft LHP) - Bonderman (hard RHP) - Rogers (soft LHP) - Robertson (hard LHP). If Bonderman and Durbin hadn't flip-flopped, Rogers and Moroth would pitch back to back. And we all know that the skipper doesn't like that. Moving Durbin also sets up for Roger’s return.

Meaning, he'll be rocked in his next start for KC. And when I saw that Rodriguez home run, I had flashbacks of the one he hit off of Fausto Carmona to beat the Indians in late July/early August I think it was, last year. Duckworth pitched well today.

And Bonderman--8 K's, only 1 walk (intentional) and 2 ER's, he did pitch like an ace today. Interesting to note that Jonesy has saved all 3 Tiger victories so far.

Send them Rodney and Neifi for him.
