So THIS is what a winning streak feels like!!!
Just after Christmas 2006, for the first time in several years, I went bowling. Given the fact that it had been several years, I didn't know what to expect, even with my first shot. With everything set, I threw my first ball, which was a STRIKE!!! In my surprise and shock, I said very loudly, "So this is what a strike feels like!!"
Prior to Trey Hillman taking over as manager, the Royals really haven't had the best of teams. Winning streaks would happen, but wouldn't last very long. With KC's 7-6 win at Florida last night, I really believe that the Royals, for the first time in several years, have an honest-to-goodness winning streak on their hands. Last night's win was their fifth in a row.
Jose Guillen, a frequent target of mine, had three hits. Miguel Olivo, filling in for new proud papa John Buck, hit a home run that proved to be the difference in the game. Overall, the Royals played very aggressive baseball. I like what I'm seeing and hearing.
As I've said before, Trey Hillman made a believer out of me. The way I see it, as long as the Royals keep their focus, bigger and better things can and very definitely will happen. Keep up the good work, KC!!!
