I am happy when my Birds score 7 off an ACE

They were a young, confident team...just like we are now.  They seemed annoying at the time, but now I get it.

They got every possible bounce that the baseball gods could muster. They probably had a BABIP of .900 in that series.

Does an Ace give up 7 runs?

Yeah I'm with everyone else who really doesn't like the Royals. I'm not letting 2014 go. Yankees, Royals and Rangers are at the top of my list of teams I'm glad to beat or watch them lose.

I'm not biased against the Royals.  I don't hold grudges over things like that.

But I can see why folks that do, do with that team.

I still think their advanced scouting was a lot better than the O's.  They just seemed better prepared.

Dare I say Matt had a Sauer puss after that walk?

Especially when they face the murderer’s row of Hays, Urias, McCann and Mateo.

We get their real Ace tomorrow. From BP to Cy Young starter.

His stuff is clearly Ace-level.  We broke him after a couple runs.

I know, I'm teasing. I mean, Daniel Cabrera had Ace-level stuff, it's not enough. Ragans will be fine.

This is a good game ro get Mateo more experience in Centerfield.

But an ace shouldn't fall apart after a couple runs.  Learning moment for Ragans.

Always seems like an adventure with Mateo in CF.
