he took a comebacker in the fourth inning on the elbow
seemed to pitch fine after it, but probably just being cautious. He’s in line for the win, which at this point is probably all that matters

I'm gonna say it's a mysterious oblique injury
which the Royals will categorize as “dead side syndrome disease”

Nah
They’ll go with the old standby “shoulder fatigue”. Twisted ankle = shoulder fatigue. Bloody nose = shoulder fatigue. Hangnail = shoulder fatigue. You get the idea.

odd
I think that with a good QB under center (such as Reesing) he’s more valuable to the team as a WR. He’s got some skills there that you can’t find everyday in wideout, both tangibles and intangibles.

Dear Diary
Weird things happened today while watching the Royals…
Zack pitched only 5 innings and might get a win!
Josh Anderson hit a home run!
We may have found a way to get rid of Bruce Chen!
Miguel Olivo played offense AND defense… In the same game!
Iceman walked twice… In the same game!
Bloomers has three hits… In the same game!
But best of all… MY PROCESS HAS BEEN VINDICATED!!!!!!!!!

OK, Zack
that’s 1 win down, 3 to go. Gotta think he can beat the Twins twice – all to worry about is Mauer and Kubel (and his poor run support, of course).
Can he beat Boston (or at least get a ND)? He will be facing Beckett on Tuesday, assuming they don’t decide to give him an extra day of rest due to his arm…
