Doyle Is Back...

It was his FIRST game back, and he's already winning games with the bat.  Un-freaking-believable.

To make the character limit, here is the New Yorker's review of Battlefield Earth.

From The New Yorker
In the year 3000, mankind will be a depleted species-scavenging among the mountains, eating live rats, or toiling as slaves under the evil Psychlos. This is bad news, although it could be worse; mankind of the year 2000, for instance, is urged to sit in dark halls and watch a movie so worthless that even a rat, alive or dead, would come as welcome relief. John Travolta, with a bunch of old gray ropes where his hair should be, plays the Psychlo chief of security, who hates his job and has to contend with a band of rebellious earthlings. The director is Roger Christian, who, if early audience response is anything to go by, would do well to flee the country under an assumed name. The co-star is Forest Whitaker, a fine actor who must be praying that audiences will fail to penetrate his heavy disguise. And the script is adapted from the novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the father of Scientology; it would have taken all his fabled powers of spirit and intellect to weather this catastrophe. Meanwhile, for those who have wondered whether a philosophical message is embedded deep inside this film, good news. There is such a message, and it reads: "You are free to leave." -Anthony Lane

Doyle
I'm honestly more excited for the first time I see him in an M's uniform this year than I was when Felix came up.

Last Year
I went to a Game in KC. They were going to send Doyle up to pinch hit for someone. If I remember right (which I may not) that would have been his debut for the season. I got really excited, started raving about him to my friend the Royals fan. Who walks up to the plate instead. Scott Fucking Spezio. I cant wait to see Doyle up. This team needs an enima.
