"One Day at a Time" for Snyder

The Royals drop the opening game of the series to the Oakland A's, 6-1, despite what reads like a nightmarish 9th to lose an otherwise close one at the K.

Other important games around the league: Minnesota takes Seattle 5-4, which moves the Twinkies to within 6 games of the AL Central - leading Royals.

Man, I really love this Snyder kid. What a competitor. He's a much better pitcher than his 1-4 record indicates. I wish we could get the kid a little more positive reinforcement in the vein of run support.
The limited times I've seen him, he's shown some serious flash.
75 pitch count in 7 plus 3 hits...not a bad way to come off the DL.

A disappointing 9th, to say the least. Let''s just leave it at the fact that I'm glad I wasn't watching this train wreck.

You know it''s bad when Pena gets the hook for discussing the strike zone.

Well, at least we have the first 8 innings, plus Snyder's performance (and Hernandez's start yesterday) both respectively coming off the DL recently, are very promising.

An impressive debut by Oakland rookie pitching prospect Rich Harden.

Damn Canadian.
