SINCE WEDNESDAY
A few random notes to catch up ...

- It seems a little depressing to get the 8.5 game lead against Texas with two games left in the series, where all you have to do to maintain that lead is to win 50% of the next two games, to drop both of them go get the lead back to where it was before the series started. However, going 5-2 against Texas over the course of a week-and-a-half is nothing to complain about, and a 6.5 game lead is manageable at this point in the season, even if it's not insurmountable by our foes.

- There is almost no pleasure in beating the Royals. What a collection of ineptitude and sadness. I weep for their fans and their young players alike, good-looking prospects like David DeJesus and Ruben Gotay who look to have strong futures but are currently either not ready or surrounded by dreck. And poor Mike Sweeney, going through yet another season in the midst of such pain.

So basically we need to smack the snot out of them today -- we're up 1-0 currently, not that I can see it, thanks to KC's nonsensical scheduling of the game up against the ESPN exclusive Sunday night broadcast slot.

- Congrats to Angel All Stars Vlad, Bartolo Colon, and Garret Anderson, Badass. Also congrats to David Eckstein for getting a starting job in the other league. Too bad that there was no room for Scot Shields or K-Rod, but that's the sort of thing that happens when you play a silly exhibition game for no reason.

Maybe not so non-sensical. I'm guessing they were planning on having a fireworks show. I could be wrong, though.
