Sweep!

View from the cheap seats

That’s what the crowd chanted over and over again late last night at Kaufmann Stadium as the The KC Royals swept the NY Yankees 5-2. Good things really do happen to bad teams. The last place Royals (20) games out of first in the AL Central division badly needed a 3 game home stretch like this against a clearly more dominant team to get them re-motivated/recharged for the long remainder of the season. The new manager seemed to have the guys fired up these past three days or possibly they just got really sick of losing. Whatever it was, it worked. Despite the 3 game win, the Royals still remain the worst team in the majors. I read that Joe Torre said that this 3 game series emphasized the Yankees inability to win rather than the Royals ability to win. Ouch. Tough words about our team from a guy who knows how to win. Regardless, it was an exciting game with a packed house that ended with a nice meet-n-greet with some key players after the game. More photos of players on flickr
