Have you ever had a day where everything went right? A day where, no matter what, you could simply do no wrong? Well, it happened yesterday for Dayton Moore and the Kansas City Royals.

Moore is the new General Manager of the club and he's made a major impact on the team coming into the 2007 season. In fact, his moves have caused many Royals fans to have guarded optimism about how their favorite team will do this year. If they play all year the way they did on Opening Day at the K, they'll win the World Series.

Just about every move Moore made looked like a stroke of genius on Day 1. He signed starting pitcher Gil Meche for $55 million, a move that was laughed at all around the big leagues. The "experts" said he had vastly overpaid for a mediocre pitcher. They may still be proven right. But on Opening Day, Meche was everything you want from a #1 guy. Moore's move paid off, at least for one day.

Another big roster move recently was to demote struggling (that's putting it kindly) shortstop Angel Berroa to the minor leagues and trade for Tony Pena, Junior. Yes, he's the son of the former Royals manager. Again, Pena made Moore look great by hitting two triples.

All the other pieces fell into place as well before a delirious crowd at Kauffman Stadium. I was there to watch Royals fans soak up a big victory over the Red Sox. Opening Day is always a blast, but sometimes reality hits once the game actually starts. Not this time. Royals fans were treated to some great baseball on a picture perfect day. Now... can the boys of summer keep this up? Stay tuned. True genius is measured over an entire season.
