Wednesday night the Kansas City Royals led the Minnesota Twins 8-3 going to the 9th and appeared to be on their way to ending a 10-game losing streak.
Ramon Ramirez was in to finish up, but he gave up a two-out RBI single to Mike Lamb. Two batters later, Carlos Gomez singled in another run to make it 8-5.
Exit Ramirez and enter Joel Peralta. Craig Monroe pinch hit and clobbered a game-tying three-run homer. The Twins then won it in the 10th on a Justin (on my fantasy team!) Morneau.
In the clubhouse after the game, loveable Jose Guillen was quoted by the AP:
I'm awaiting a series of DVDs to marketed on ESPN with the Jose Guillen way to play baseball.“Too many babies here,” Guillen stormed while seated in front of his locker and spicing his language with obscenity. “They don’t know how to play the game and win the game right, the way it’s supposed to be played. And that’s the problem here. Now I know why this organization’s been losing for a while. Now I know.”
Disc one: The temper tantrum
Disc two: Blaming your teammates for your failings
Disc three: Blaming Mike Scioscia for your failings
Disc not yet completed: Learning the strike zone
Whenever there's a jerk popping off in the clubhouse, I'll be there...
