Although S.D. pulled a devious move in trading Peavy

looking to make a run for 2nd-last or maybe they want to shoot for the moon – they do have the worst run differential in MLB.

Well, Cleveland did the same

Lee and Martinez? I’m not sure that even we can overcome that kind of throwing-in-the-towel-ism

Reminds me of the standings of the old MISL

KC Comets vs. Baltimore Blast
Cleveland Crunch vs. San Diego Sockers

But where are Wichita, Tacoma, LA, Dallas and St. Louis?

DINO!!!!

BTW – I finally found the song on iTunes that they used to play during the laser light show and player intros.

That is the only time in my life I remember enjoying watching soccer.

Oh -

it’s called ‘The Chase’ by Georgio Moroder for those interested in an 80’s flashback.

Steve Jungul Now!

He’s probably about 60, so he’ll be a good middle infielder pickup for the Royals.

They don’t look like major leaguer’s, they don’t hit like major leaguer’s, they don’t field like major leaguer’s and they don’t hold a lead like major leaguer’s, so why do we expect them to play like major leaguer’s?

Then again... they do look good in powder blue.

So, at some point they must put their uniforms on like every other baseball player. The old one leg at a time routine.

And damn they looked good in that calendar from last year

What a joke that was.

I think I'm going to have to put the infamous race for first column back up this year...

I’ll try to put my fandom stance on it without questioning my royaloyalty
