Readying the Curtain- Royals (56-105) at Jays (79-82)

by Freneau on Oct 2, 2005 2:04 PM EDT in Kansas City Royals News

Time to say goodbye to the 2005 Kansas City Royals, although we know they'll never leave our memories. This afternoon at Rogers' Centre its Runelvys Hernandez (8-13, 5.35 ERA) against Gustavo Chacin (12-9, 3.82 ERA).

Hey, how about this?!? Buddisimo has taken T-Long out of the lineup! I guess, being Game 162, its now time to start getting a look at the kids. Wise Buddy, wise.

Redefining Dreadful. But I guess last night was good. I'm still amazed this team ended up winning 56 games. I thought 45 was a real possibility.

Update [2005-10-2 16:42:18 by royalsreview]: Well, its a 7-2 final in Canada. Emil Brown wraps up his team RBI total with a nice homer in the 8th. Not much else of interest occurs... 2005 Wrap-up articles to come this week, so stick around. Plus, theres always the ex-Royals in the playoffs angle.

A season to forget

56-106

The season started out slow, then Pena quit
Things started looking better as Buddy neared .500, then we lost a billion straight.
11 games behind the D-Rays
42 back from the Sox
38 games behind the Wild card leader

If last year did not sober us up from the 2003 season, this year certinly did. But at least we signed Gordon. That seems to be about the only real reason to hold hope. But, taking a lesson from "Pandora's Box", hope is worst thing that could have been left in the box. Will Gordon really turn this team around? Will it at least spark a Royals Revival? Hope says yes, reality says no.
