Royals realize the ugly truth

Ponson really sucks. That it took them this long is a crime.

Pitcher Luke Hochevar was recalled from Triple-A Omaha to take Soria's place on the roster and Sidney Ponson's place in the starting rotation. Hochevar will start on Tuesday night at Oakland, moving Ponson into the bullpen.

Hochevar had a 5-0 record in six starts for Omaha with a 0.90 ERA.

What, a 1-4 record with a 5.91 ERA, allowing opposing hitters to hit 0.307 batting average isn't good enough for ya, KC?
