The Omaha Royals hoped life wouldn't return to what has been normal (losing 17 of their last 22, and going just 11-21 at Rosenblatt this season) The Royals hope that finally, Omaha can be looked upon as home sweet home.

At 23 wins and 30 losses, Omaha is rapidly seeing its season slip away. After a dreadful May, the Royals had to have hoped that June would be a new beginning.

Opening the month with a series against a Round Rock Express team that came into town sporting just a 23-29 record had to further embolden the team.

Individually, most baseball players will tell you the hardest thing to do is hit a baseball. As a team they'll tell you one of the hardest things to do is sweep a double header.

That was obvious Wednesday night as the Omaha Royals and Fresno Grizzlies took part in two games that couldn't have been more different.

May 24th was a busy day for both the Kansas City, and Omaha Royals. Thanks to new injuries and the recovering from old ones, Kansas City made a whopping six transactions that will reshape the chemistry not only of the major league club, but also that of Omaha.

The Omaha Royals have got to be looking forward to the month of May being over. After starting the season with a respectable 12-8 record in April, May has been an absolute disaster.

Monday night's win was the team's eighth victory this month, against 16 losses.

Brayan Pena is listed as a catcher, but this season is trying a new position, and so far, the results have been glowingly positive.

Pena is one of three catchers the Omaha Royals are currently carrying, and because of injuries and call-ups Pena has seen far more time in left field, than he has behind the plate.

The good news is the Omaha Royals eight game road trip is over. The bad news is they won just two games. The Royals have to be ecstatic to be done with a nightmare journey that saw the pitching staff post a 9.63 ERA over the eight games, and allowed 11 or more runs three times.

If there's one constant we can take away from the Omaha Royals' month of May, it's that their offense is going to be pretty good, and their pitching is going to need some work.

After gritting out a win in the series finale against the Salt Lake Bees, it's safe to assume that the Omaha Royals were hoping to capitalize on some forward momentum when they traveled to Colorado Springs.

It's always interesting when a minor league franchise begins mimicking their major league parent club. That seems to be what's happening with the Omaha Royals.

After an impressive start to the season, that saw them get out to a 17-12 start, the O-Royals have dropped their last four games, and slipped to last place in the PCL American North.
