April 19, 1984 - Petry Putrid

Game #154 - Kansas City Royals, 9 @ Detroit Tigers, 1

The Royals are quietly climbing up the standings in the AL East.  Their most recent Motown visit was a good one.  KC scored three in the first, including a Jorge Orta two run homer, and added another three in the second.  When Tigers starter Dan Petry gave up solo shots to UL Washington and George Brett he was finally pulled.

On the flip side, Mark Gubicza was totally in the zone.  He scattered four hits and five walks over a complete game.  The lone Detroit run came in the ninth.  Kirk Gibson led off with a triple.  Two batters later Lance Parris hit a sacrifice fly that plated Gibson.  Rupert Jones struck out to end it for the Tigers.  (Don Slaught sustained a minor injury in the 9th as well, and will miss the next two games).

  1. This is awesome....I've commented before wishing you luck and I repeat that as this is one hell of an endeavor. This may take you quite some time.

    If you have not already done so, come check out my blog. It's been a pretty fun time so far, except that I screwed the league up by making it so pitching focused. Still, we're having fun with it. I think the next think I want to do is run a 64 team tourney like March Madness.

  2. Your site is great - are you playing live on the board game or a Statis Pro computer sim? I'm pulling for that O's team, lol....
