In that ninth inning tonight, as the Red Sox went meekly 1-2-3, I was actually seeing Kansas City Royals fans waving brooms at the Red Sox and their fans in Kauffman Stadium.
It's worth remembering that:
The Royals are 41-73, the worst team in all of baseball.
The only other teams KC swept this season are the Pirates and Indians. Very dubious company.
They started a pitcher who was 2-7 this season tonight.
Their fans were waving brooms at us when it ended.
It's time to pull out the 2004 World Series video and get a stiff drink.
I need them both right now.
A VERY-STIFF Beverage is NEEDED!

ReplyDeleteJohn, if you're still up, email me asap at mattysox9@yahoo.com...the drinks will be stiff, and the team's backbone limp...I am so depressed right now...
ReplyDeleteWell, they were 38-73 before we came to town. As Papi said...We shoulda stayed home! And home is where we are. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Matty, I turned in early last night. I would have enjoyed your company by email....
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend too, Peter. Let's hope for a sweep over the O's...
this is depressing. wishing i was old enough to join you guys for a drink because maybe that would numb the pain =/. so... hot chocolate anyone? with whipped cream?
ReplyDeletemy attempts to cheer myself up are not working.
