Another day at the office.
Some say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, it's also worth about 184 games.
Yesterday's game was notable for three reasons:
1. KC's Luke Hudson allowed seven runs before he recorded his first out and gave up 11 runs in 1/3 of an inning before being yanked. The last time something like that happened? September 21, 1897 when Brooklyn scored 12 off Boston and celebrated after the game by guzzling fire water and shooting buffalo.
2. CLE's Travis Hafner (often confused with Travis Foster) belted his sixth grand slam of the season, tying him with the great Donny Baseball (Don Mattingly) for the most in a single season.
3. We've totally given up on the Royals as a franchise—regardless of which young pitcher they finally signed or new GM they bribed out of Atlanta. Until you get an owner in there who actually wants to win (and not just receive MLB's version of corporate welfare known as a luxury tax), we're willing to say the brand died the day George Brett tipped his cap and walked off the field for the last time.

When is this crappy blog going to be replaced by an actual website?
I heard in dallas this weekend there having a gay S&M convention?
The Royals will make a serious push to contend in a couple of years. Let Billy Butler, Alex Gordon, Chris Lebanski, and Mitch Maier get a few years into their major league careers, then watch the progress in a few.
If the Tigers can get there, so can KC. Drayton Moore seems to be a very driven GM. Knows what he wants and so far is getting it.
