So the Cubs actually swept the D-backs at Wrigley earlier this season. The D-backs have seemed less intimidated by Francis than they are by the prospects of getting a hangnail someday down the line. If baseball were subject to the rules of algebra, I'm not exactly liking the transitive implications of this. I guess we're lucky it's not. Maybe...

Go Rockies!

Royals send Butler down (AP)

post from MLB News Blog on 29 May 2008 07:07:49 PM. © MLB News Blog

The offensively weak Kansas City Royals sent DH/first baseman Billy Butler to Triple-A Omaha on Thursday, hoping to kick-start a feeble attack that had contributed to their 10-game losing streak. Coming up from Omaha was infielder Mike Aviles, a 27-year-old non-roster invitee who was hitting .338 through 50 games.Read the full story.

Reds Ken Griffey Jr. gets a day off (AP)

post from MLB News Blog on 29 May 2008 07:05:45 PM. © MLB News Blog

Outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. was out of the Cincinnati Reds’ starting lineup on Thursday, getting a day to rest and work on his slow-to-come-around swing. The 38-year-old outfielder is two homers away from No. 600, a mark reached by only five others. Getting those last few hasn’t come easily. Griffey went 90 at-bats without a [...]

Jose Guillen’s profanity-filled tirade moments after the Kansas City Royals squandered a five-run lead and lost their 10th game in a row earned the outspoken outfielder a big thumbs-up from his frustrated bosses.“Jose and I met,” manager Trey Hillman said Thursday, a few hours before the Royals played Minnesota in an effort to stop a [...]

Game 53: Twins at Kansas City

Kevin Slowey vs. Luke Hochevar This pitching matchup could wind up repeating itself quite a bit in the future. (Mainly since we play KC about eleventy billion times per year--seriously, I like an unbalanced schedule but 19 games against an opponent in a season just gets tedious after a while. Variety, spice, etc.) Slowey has [...]
