It ain't pretty

The Royals showed a lot of grit but couldn't quite get it done in last night's 15-1 loss to the Indians.

If Gil Meche's 8.0 ERA was a New Madrid earthquake, it would be ringing church bells in Boston right now.

We like Gil, but for now he's got to be on the Big Donkey Shit List, along with the following:

Yabuta (If there's one thing he's good at, it's throwing gas on a fire)
Guillen (Too bad his suspension got overturned)
Teahen (Come on Moneyball, we're tired of the strikeouts)
TPJ (One hit last night brings the average up to .132)

The guy who we thought was going to be Big Donkeys' No. 1 Jackass, Brett Tomko, goes tonight. Thus far, Tomko has stayed out of our Donkey Shed.

We are not interested in suffering through another losing April and another long season of futility. We think things are looking up in general, but we're tired of talk about the future. It's time right now to nip this losing streak in the bud.
