Kansas City does something right.


So the Royals picked up this guy Joakim Soria in the Rule 5, right? He was in the Padres organization. And KC was allegedly excited about this kid, but they always say that. Well, he just pitched a perfect game in the Mexican Pacific League. His team's called Los Yaquis de Obregon and game was v. the Naranjeros de Hermosillo. I'm pretty sure "naranjero" means "orange wrangler".

Some of the opposing team's hopeless, hitless losers included Jerry Hairston and GERONIMO FREAKING GIL.

Soria is just 22 years old. I'm excited for him, but, you know, where's he going to be in like eight years?
