Gil Meche came into the Royals' clubhouse drenched with sweat, cap to spikes. He looked whipped. How did he feel? "Like I'll faint, like I'll throw up," he gasped. Meche had just thrown the equivalent of four innings on the scorching mound at Kauffman Stadium on Friday afternoon when the temperature was logged as 93 degrees. Meche had his own heat index. "I just got real tired," he said. "It feels like 150 degrees out there. I should've put on a thin T-shirt and shorts. I don't know why I put all this on." Meche was decked out in his full No. 55 uniform as he threw a simulated game of sorts, tossing 15 pitches in each "inning" to teammate Brayan Pena. He threw all his pitches except the curveball with Pena taking some hacks. "He didn't hit anything out," manager Ned Yost said with a grin, "so that means it went pretty well for Gil." http://kansascity.royals.mlb.com/ne...=12290000&vkey=notebook_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=kc
