TEAMS: Boston Red Sox, Kansas City Royals
KANSAS CITY, Mo. –– It looked like a catch. When Cody Ross snagged Brayan Pena's fly ball in the first inning, his momentum propelled him to the wall. At that point, he bobbled the ball off the Kauffman Stadium wall and eventually trapped it right back. From umpire Chris Guccione's perspective, it was a drop. Despite inquires from Ross and Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine, the call stood as two runs scored –– the key difference between Wednesday's 4-3 loss. "I thought I caught the ball, took a couple good steps, then went to go brace myself against the chain-link...

Cody Ross was on the Mut & Merloni show today, where he had this to say about manager Bobby Valentine:

Last night’s loss at KC epitomized what’s wrong with Sox
I caught just a few innings of last night’s Sox-Royals game because “Idol” was on and my wife can’t miss it. (Okay, so I watch it too. Every year I swear I’m not going to, and I think J-Lo and Steven Tyler are utterly worthless as judges, but somehow I get sucked in.)
