July in Review

The Royals had another great month in July as they are pulling away in the lead for the division. In the month of July, they went 16-9, their best monthly win-loss record so far. Just like last month, they scored 97 runs in the month, but their runs allowed went up a bit. They are now 64-43 for the season, eight games up on the Indians in second place, and stand alone with the best record in the majors, a game up on the Phillies. Nick Johnson continues to be hot with the bat, batting close to .300 with 18 homers and 71 RBI, well on pace for 100+ for the season. In pitching, the Royals ERAs did go up this month as every ERA for the rotation is over 2, which is still great. The National League won the All-Star Game once again, which means if the Royals can make it to the World Series consecutive years, they will once again have to start on the road. The Royals are inching closer to the postseason again as the final results of the season are beginning to come into view and clear.

Ok, that's it for now. I played two months in this. I'm now going to play a month of games in my Cubs dynasty in MVP Baseball 2005, then a month of games in my Rockies season mode file, and then come back to this one.

Just when it gets exciting!

I REALLY wish I could play Power Pros now, but my dad is a TV hog.

Boston Red Sox (57-51) @ Kansas City Royals (65-43)
August 2, 2011

KANSAS CITY -- The Royals made an incredible comeback tonight completed and won by their rookie sensation, Chris Conti. The Red Sox jumped out early and strong against Kelvim Escobar. Manny Ramirez hit a solo home run in the second for the game's first run, and David Ortiz broke it open in the third with a three-run bomb. The Red Sox added two more in the fourth on RBI doubles by Kevin Youkilis and Alex Cora. Then, the Royals rally began. Nick Johnson got it started with a two-run home run in the sixth. Then two solo shots by Khalil Greene and John Buck in the seventh brought the score within two. Nick Johnson blasted another home run in the eighth to make it a one-run game going to the ninth. In the bottom of the ninth, the Royals got the bases loaded, and Chris Conti came to the plate. He hit one to right field, and brought the tying run home with a sacrifice fly. The game then went into extra innings, and after an excellent relief appearance by John Finegan allowing no runs over four innings, Conti came to the plate again in the twelfth against a tiring Hideki Okajima and blasted a walk-off solo home run to right field to win the game.

Meche wants to know why he's 7-7, and wants to rectify the problem ASAP.

Well, my team doesn't score many runs, and I tend to make a lot of late-inning comebacks, so my starting rotation has a lot of no decisions.
