no love for KC

I have to be honest. Since last Monday, the offseason began so i could focus everything into my beloved New Orleans Saints. I come by every now and then and see what's going on and check the Yahoo box scores to see how we do occasionally. I was pleased we won last night to avoid 100 losses, but for some reason, it doesn't matter as much because basically enjoying this new found success with the Saints has made me realize how important winning is when following your favorite team. It is nice to see a Royals win this time of year, but right now with the Saints being 3-0 and in 1st place in the NFC South, a Royals victory in September doesn't compare. I haven't felt this excited about the Royals since April 8 when Mike Sweeney hit the 2-run shot in the 8th inning against the White Sox giving us a 3-2 win with Burgos saving it in the 9th. After the game we were 2-2 and things were looking up. We brought in alot of veterans who knew how to play the game and we were on our way. What happens? Well, we lose a close one Sunday 3-1 and then head off to the Bronx for a 3-game set with the Yanks. I thought this year's team was different and it showed when we were up 7-4 thanks to home runs by Reggie Sanders and Shane Costa and we had Sisco and Burgos ready to hold the lead. With our 2 young studs, we could stick it to the Yanks. Nope, a 3-run blast from Jeter gave the Yanks a 9-7 victory and we go on to lose 9 more games after that. A 2-2 record becomes 2-13 and our season is done. DONE!! IN APRIL!!!!!!! Sigh....... I guess it didn't hit me until I read RR's lastest story about how Dayton Moore believes in Angel Berroa and his physical gifts. Well, being a Saints fan, I use to hear the same thing from former head coach Jim Haslett about QB Aaron Brooks. We heard how Brooks is physically gifted with a rocket arm, nice height, and great mobility. Every year we heard how Brooks is improving and will be the QB to take us where we want to go. After every fumble, every interception into triple coverage, and every 7-9 or 8-8 season, we heard the same garbage we are hearing now about Angel Berroa. Why is it different in New Orleans now? Well, our GM Mickey Loomis had enough and fired Jim Haslett and brought in new coach Sean Payton. What was the first thing Payton did? He released Aaron Brooks. Let's hope Dayton Moore can see the light like Mickey Loomis has and do what is needed to get done........
