Royals and Cardinals release 2010 schedules

September 16, 2009 By

Major League Baseball released their 2010 schedule and the Cardinals and Royals will only meet three times this year.   No games of the I-70 series will be played at Busch Stadium.  Instead the teams will play just three games at Kauffman on June 25-27.

The Royals will start the season at home on April 5 th against the Detroit Tigers, followed by the Red Sox April 9 th -11 th .  The Royals are at home to start the season for the first time since 2007 when they hosted Boston.  In 2006, Detroit visited KC for the season opener.

The Royals will play Colorado, Houston, Washington, Atlanta, and Cincinnati in interleague play.

The Cardinals will open 2010 on the road in Cincinnati and then travel to Milwaukee before coming home on April 12 th against Houston.  So, Tony LaRussa, who likes quick starts in April will take on three division rivals right off the bat.

The Cubs only make it to St. Louis twice next season, but at least they come after the All-Star break.  The first series is August 13-15, and the second is exactly a month later in September.  Make  your vacation plans for Chicago and Wrigley Field.  St. Louis takes three trips to the Windy City.

In addition to playing the Royals, the Angels, Mariners, A’s, and Blue Jays are on the schedule.

Bombs away…Royals hammer Tigers

September 16, 2009 By

Robinson Tejada continues to do well as a starter.  Of course, it helps when you get plenty of run support.  The Royals tagged Tigers’ starter Jarrod Washburn for four runs in the first inning and chased him after that while the Royals piled on for an 11-1 win.

The Royals got three, three run homers in this game.  Alberto Callaspo hit his off Washburn in the first.  DeJesus followed with his in the fourth and Olivo tacked on more runs in the seventh.

Tejada finally gave up an earned run.  He only pitched five innings, and gave up his first earned run in his third start when Detroit scored in the bottom of the fifth.  Prior to that, Tejada had gone 16 innings without allowing a run.

Wainright denied 19th win

September 16, 2009 By

Cardinals’ starting pitcher Adam Wainwright made one mistake and he even said that wasn’t all that bad of a pitch, but Dan Uggla’s two run homer in the sixth inning was the difference as the Cardinals lose 2-1 Tuesday Night at Busch Stadium.  The loss, coupled with a Cubs’ win keeps the magic number at 10.

Wainwright said Uggla was sitting on a breaking pitch and while it was down, it was on the inner part of the plate and Uggla got enough of it to get it out.  This came one inning after Albert Pujols put the Cardinals on top 1-0 with an RBI sac fly in the bottom of the fifth.

That’s all the Cardinals lineup could muster up against Florida starter Sean West who went six innings allowing the one run on six hits and three walks while striking out nine.  The Cubs beat Milwaukee and close to 8.5 games in the standings while keeping the Cards’ magic number at 10.
