The Matrix

Clearly, I am Neo, living in an alternate reality where my Kansas City Royals are really good at baseball.

A few stats from this universe before someone unplugs me:
1. The Royals are 3-0 since the dream year of 2003. And for the second time in 28 years.
2. The Royals' team ERA is 1.55 and leads the AL
3. Alex Gordon leads the league in HRs
4. Joakim Soria leads the league in saves
5. The Royals have the best record in baseball.
6. All of those statistics have been accumulated against the prohibitive favorite to win the AL Central, the Tiggers.

Incredible. Now we will see what the new starter Bale can do, along with the shaky (at best) Tomko.

On another note, I will be periodically reporting on the newly minted NWA Naturals this season, the new AA affiliate of our beloved Royals.

Last night, in their first game ever, they defeated the San Antonio Missions 6-4. Highlights included:

• OF Jose Duarte reaching base all 5 times (3-3, 2 walks, and 2 SBs)
• OF Brian McFall showing off some power going 2-4 with a HR and a triple
• Top prospect Carlos Rosa with a strong 4 inning start. He allowed 2 ER on 6 hits, but walked no one and struck out 5. Rosa is on the Royals MLB 40-man roster.
• A solid 2.2 innings from Dusty Hughes to earn the win, giving up no runs, 1 hit, and 1 BB.

Can't wait for their home opener on the 10th.

Looking for the Oracle,
