It's Been A Long Time Coming...


It's so b-e-a-utiful

SWEET HOLY JESUS, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!!!!!

Read it and weep, the Kansas City Royals are not going to lose 100 games this year! For the first time since 2003, my junior year of high school for those keeping score at home, the Royals are going to finish with under 100 losses. Now I know that to most teams this is nothing to be proud of, but for a Royals fan this is amazing. For the past three years I have sat and watched Allard Baird, Buddy Bell and David Glass destroy the team that was once one of the greatest in the bigs. Fast forward to know and we have Baird replaced by a competent GM, Buddy leaving at the end of the season, and David Glass being forced into putting up a little cash for the team. Gone are the days of seeing our talent traded away, no more will we see another instance like Beltran being traded away to keep a no talent bum like Mike Sweeney. The best part of all of this is the strong upside with the team, considering that the bulk of the frame being built for the team is no older than 26, that means we can have the guys that are building the base for a long time...pending David Glass actually sticks to his word. It's amazing to me, the potential that I will get to see the Royals post a winning season for the seventh time in my 21 year lifespan. It's downright exciting to know that in 3 years, mark my words, the Royals will be contending for the AL Central title and then the World Series in 5...let's see the Red Sox come up with that kind of consistency.

NFL Time:
Currently I am 20-12 on my weekly picks for the seasons games. For those who are not talented in the ways of math, that means I am 10-6 again. Here's hoping that I can keep up a winning streak all year long.

I hate to say it but the Royals will lose 100 games next season after getting off to a hot start. Their new manager, OZZIE GUILLEN, will call them no talent bums and he will die because of their constant losing.
