Here’s hoping Hooch has the groundball mojo working and that the Royals field enough of them cleanly to stay in the game.

As for me, I’m working the local Little League All-Star tournament starting today, so somebody please throw in some ridiculous non sequiturs on my behalf.

Why on Earth would people go to a Royals game on July 4th?

I’m going to enjoy blowing shit up and eating barbeque while those poor people are washing the bad taste of Royals ssuck out of their mouths.
