I was there

Believe me, it wasn’t funny then and it’s not funny now.

Exciting.

I see at least 11-5 with a pretty weak schedule.

I am excited with the addition of Wahle at LG

Not to mention a new O-Line coach, new running back coach. And new running backs.

The new O-Line coach I'm not so excited about...

might be signaling the shift to Air Coryell. I don’t like Air Coryell.

Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

We were all fucking crazy, but now that we don’t expect different results I think we’re just masochists.

Learn to hit an outside pitch to opposite field instead of trying to pull it. Thus grounding into these easy double plays.

I miss Jose Guillen

I don’t know why. I just have a hunch he was like some secret ingredient for Seattle’s almost (and most likely lucky) success last season. Plus he could hit.

he can't hit this year for KC so far

Jose Guillen's OPS is 546 so far.

He can't get strikes at the knees

thus, everything is elevated and his pitches are hittable.

If a double play is a pitchers best friend

then whats a shallow center popup? The guy a pitcher knows at work?

take felix out now, why bother letting him throw any more pitches when we have about a 5% chance of coming back

the chances of him being released tomorrow are probably about 10 times higher than they were before the game started.
