Royals Pitcher Zack Grienke Gets SI Cover This Week! Goes For Record 0.00ERA

(1/5) > >>

It is very rare for anything Royals related to make the cover of Sports Illustrated.  I think the last time was back in the late 80's or early 90's when two-sport star Bo Jackson was on the cover.  Bo Jackson ofcourse could of been one of the greatest athletes in history, an All-Star centerfielder for the Kansas City Royals and Pro-Bowl running back for the rival Raiders; it's very unfortunate his career was cut short by injury.

But anyway, Kansas City is really excited about Zack Greinke being on the cover.  He's 4-0 this year with a 0.00 ERA!  He hasn't given up in an earned run in nearly 40 innings.  If he does that again tonight he will BREAK THE RECORD FOR MOST INNINGS IN A ROW WITHOUT GIVING UP AN EARNED RUN!  That's a big deal. 

I know it's the Kansas City Royals but ya'll got to show some love to Zack Grienke.  ...by the way, he's a really interesting story, he's not just on there because of his pitching, his actually been through alot, diagnosed with social anxiety disorder the dude almost quit the major leagues to go mow lawns for a living.

...one last point, before the season the Royals locked Zack up for the next four years, so he can't leave us and go to the Yankee's like all our other good players do.

4 and 0 with no runs that's pretty crazy.

I'm looking forward to really seeing him pitch tonight, but not looking forward to the Jays facing him.

Seems like the Blue-Jays are pretty good this year.  But as they say, good pitching usually beats good hitting.

The Jays hitting won't stay number one forever but I still can see them top ten by the end of the year. 
I'm not too confident about tonight's game, but he can't keep this 0.00 ERA going forever so tonight's as good a night as any for him to let up 2-3 runs.  Brian Tallet is pitching for a Jays and is doing a pretty good job so far (2.95 ERA, 1.09 WHIP) filling in for all the injuries to the starters, plus the Royals can't hit.  So I can see the Jays pull out a 3-2 win.  Either way, I don't see many runs tonight.
