Bad News Bears vs Kansas City Royals - Who wins?


In last night's 15-9 loss to the Red Sox, it is noted that the Royals made 4 blunders in the first inning.

Per AP: "David DeJesus misplayed Dustin Pedroia's triple, then Tony Pena misplayed Jason Bay's grounder and failed to force out David Ortiz at second allowing Kevin Youkilis to score and Ortiz to advance to third. Jacoby Ellsbury then hit a deep fly to left and Jose Guillen thought it was the final out and initially began running in before remembering that Ortiz was tagging up at third. Catcher, Miguel Olivo made the final mistake when he was charged with a throwing error."

I bet the beer was flowing really well at Fenway after all that.

Later in the sixth inning, the Royals loaded the bases however Miguel Olivo who was on third base was forced out on a one-hop hit to right field. (Our little leaguers, "The Wolves" can routinely score on this play; even the kids who struggle with what direction to run)

In the seventh inning, Trey Hillman was ejected by home plate umpire, Todd Tichener but it doesn't say for what.

I can't really blame Hillman. I would be looking to get as far away from that as possible too.

Forget that "going down with the ship" stuff.
