Buck nets two RBI after haircut: Gil Meche promised John Buck he'd pitch a good game if he could shave the catcher's head. Buck lived up to his end of the bargain. He has the shiny dome and razor burns to prove it. Meche followed through, too, though it took a little longer. Meche pitched seven scoreless innings after a shaky start and Buck drove in two runs after his pregame haircut, helping the Kansas City Royals hold off Tampa Bay 4-2 Thursday. "He was begging to do it, promised me he'd pitch good, and I'm a catcher, I'll do anything to help a pitcher," said Buck, who opted to keep his goatee to offset the clean pate. "He kept his promise."

Fantasy Analysis
Buck is 5-for-15 (.333) with one homer and five RBI in his last five games. Buck's hot bat has been keeping Miguel Olivo from stealing at-bats from him lately. Buck will likely continue to split starts with Olivo unless his bat catches fire for an extended stretch, so he remains nothing more than an AL-only Fantasy option at this time. (Updated 07/25/2008).
