RP: Thanks for doing these series previews and game threads. My guess is TD isn't paying you enough.

I know you were there for the Baltimore series... Are you travelling to KC now?

 

If so, eat some barbeque. I've been dying for some good barbeque.

 

Yeah I will be at the game today tomorrow and wed. Then most likely to St. Louis for a game Thursday then Minnesota for the twins vs mets series, (though prob going to a wild game that sat). Hopefully the twins continue to win.

 

Best part is I have business folks to see in St. Louis and Minnesota so the trip ends up working out perfectly.

From the best seafood city in America, to the best BBQ city in America. I'm jealous.

If you didn't jump on that, I would have. No way does East Coast seafood compare to West Coast! I'm from Alaska, so a little bias here...

Have to love early April numbers.

Miguel Tejada and Eduardo Escobar are the team BA leaders coming into this series!

(Yes, I know neither has enough PA's to qualify)

With the way Gardy has used the bench, Escobar+Florimon+Ramirez together amount to a starting "shortstopinchitter" that does have very admirable stats to start the season, even if you take out the one start in the outfield.

How long has Gordon been leading off? This is new this season no? Wasn't Cain leading off last year?

 

Gordon had the majority of his PA's from the leadoff spot last year as well.

I'm extremely jealous of you. Baseball road trips would be at the top of my list of things to do.

 

If I just got in the car and started driving. I wonder how long it would take for my wife to notice that I wasn't around.

 

I might be able to make it a week before being called back home.

Thanks, just looked it up. Must have seen him lead off against us last year at some point and that left the impression.

I love KC and BBQ and Kaufman. Have fun for us SpiritofVodkaDave!

 

Will do! Opening days are always the best, tailgates everywhere and everyone is in a good mood. Hope the twins can win this series as well, it would be nice to at least have hope this season for a month or two at least, and at the end of the day....if you keep winning you never know what can happen!

They must have told Hicksie to swing at anything with two strikes. :P

I would have sent Morneau and make the Royals throw him out with 2 outs. That being said, Doumit can't "pull a Bruno" and just put your head down and run 'till someone tags you.
