The Nationals Are The Next Target

I would just like to draw everyone's attention to the fact that, as of this writing on Monday, 18 June 2007, the Kansas City Royals actually have a winning percentage that is not below .400 and (and!) there are actually two teams in the Major Leagues who have a worse record than the Royals do instead of the customary one or none.  Now I know that their record of 28-42 gives them a winning percentage that is exactly .400, but I don't care.  Things are looking up from here.  Hell, if the White Sox keep playing like they have been of late, the Royals might actually avoid finishing last in the AL Central.  That might be too much for me to take.  Ditto Kansans and Missourians.  They could even end up shooting at each other again, but this time it would have nothing to do with slavery and instead everything to do with excess inebriation and utter confusion at the state of affairs in baseball's central divisions.  Regardless, good job KC!  Keep it up and give me something to cheer about because Nippon Ham sure isn't doing it these days.

And as of this date, 28 June 2007, after sweeping the Angels, the Royals are better than four teams in the Major Leagues.  With a three-game series against the White Sox coming up, they can totally leave the basement of the AL Central.  Come on boys!  Induce that fire sale in Chicago's south side!  Someone has to.  It may as well be you.

I was reading the Kansas City Star yesterday when I went down to Mirth (again, for another three hours), and the main story on the sports page was about the Royal's manager, Buddy Bell, and how he has played or managed in over 3500 games without making the playoffs, which is several hundred more games then the next place person. The writer was like 'And now he manages the Royals. So, them's the brakes.'
