I've waited a long time for this

As much as the Royals had been losing recently, and given my past luck hoping for a winner in a game that I attended, I had a title ready for this entry, which was to be "My third, their thirteenth."  Thank you, Royals, for changing all of that.

The Royals snapped their 12 game losing streak last night, defeating Cleveland and C.C. Sabathia 4-2.  That, along with a John Mayberry bobblehead, made for a fantastic and enjoyable evening.  The game was exciting from start to finish, and had its good, bad and ugly.  Here's the list:

THE GOOD - David DeJesus had a magical night, hitting a third inning home run and scoring what proved to be the go-ahead run in the fifth.  Kyle Davies wobbled in his first start of the season, but pitched better than the last time I saw him versus Minnesota last year.  Even JOHN BUCK had a good night.  Finally, Joakim Soria, although he gave up an eighth inning run in his first two-inning save opportunity, pitched well enough to save it.  I LOVED "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!"

THE BAD - Alex Gordon couldn't catch up to Sabathia all night and Jose Guillen was hitless as well.

THE UGLY - Joey Gathright lost a ball in the lights in the eighth, and Guillen and Tony Pena, Jr. couldn't get there either, setting up a "Bermuda Triangle" with possible problems.  Thankfully, nothing materialized.

The game was exciting from the start, and it felt so good to finally see a win.  Hopefully, with road games against the White Sox and Yankees coming up this week, the boys in blue could give us even more wins to write about.

THIS WAS FUN!!
