Minnesota Twins @ Kansas City Royals (1)

Readers from the baseballfan forum will know that I always fancy the Kansas City Royals to have a good season and that I am always disappointed by them at the end of season.  But not today.  The Royals hammered the Twins today, with Bruce Chen thowing 8 shutout innings and Coleman the 9th, with Moustakis & Gordon hitting a solo home run each.  After Moustakis hit his, the scoreboard showed a video of a moose in a forest in the snow and the crowd all calling out "Moose!" - I was half expecting when Gordon hit his that we were going to get Brian Blessed announcing (loudly, in his Prince Voltan outfit) "Gordon's alive!"

The game was amazingly quick for an AL game - only 2 hours 20 minutes - but that will be down to the lack of hitting by the Twins, who got a grand total of 3 singles in the whole game.
