It was a dark and dreary day. The clouds threatened rain and occasionally made good on those threats throughout the day. Then, like a ray of sunshine, all was made well.
KUUUB! After missing a few games because of a swollen wrist Kubel was back in the lineup as the right fielder. Now admittedly I am not a huge Kubel fan, but today he came up with a big two-run homer. Then, as if he missed the limelight, Thome (aka Mr. Incredible)blasted another one out to right field. It hit the flag pole or it might still be going. I think this one broke the record he set yesterday for the longest hit ball at Target Field.
Slowey started the game and managed to complete only four innings. He was back in the lineup after going on the DL. Unfortunately, he didn't look too sharp. Despite the Royals hitting Kevin pretty easily they didn't string enough together for many runs so we were still in the game when Manship came in. Manship did a great job handing the ball over to Flores who sucked. He gave the ball to Mattie who then gave the ball to Crain. Now if I didn't lose track I think we went ahead when Manship was on board in the fifth. Capps closed things in the ninth. By then we had a 5-4 lead, not enough for the Capster usually, but he pulled through today. Good thing too because those Sox won again today.
Back in our seats Wednesday for the third game of the series. Let's hope it's sweep time!
