Lets start with the fiasco. The Royals are getting pounded by the Tampa Bay Rays and its hard to fatham because just one or two years ago the Rays were in the cellar like the Royals. Well, the Royals continue to maintain the cellar pace, while the Rays are quite possibly the best team in baseball. They are doing anything and everything right while, you guessed it, KC is doing everything wrong. So it seems anyway. Dayton Moore is doing great as the GM and Trey Hillman is taking the talent Moore gave him and slowly making wins. Whats the deal though that the Royals progress so much slower than the Rays? Is it Royals Ownership, or lack of? David Glass promised the Royals and the Royals fans that he would pack up and move to Kansas City. That has yet to happen. He still lives in Arkansas and still is involved with Wal-Mart. What is going on? I'll tell you. Tampa Bay Rays ownership actually care wholeheartedly about their team, while David Glass and family treat the team and the city as a easy way to make millions every year. Pay cheap salaries all while collecting revenues from other major league teams. Brilliant! No. Pathetic. Oh and the Rays are currently on a 6 game win-streak and JP Howell, former Royals pitcher, is pitching fantastic.
I'm embarassed sometimes David Glass' name is on the business school that I attended at Missouri State University. Lets hope he can fix those issues with the Royals and fast!!!
now Festivities...
My mom turns another year older on July 6. Mom and Dad both are all I have and I am very excited to be able to celebrate and spend time with them on my mom's 30th (she says) birthday.
Also, I went out with a beautiful gal on the 4th of July. Incredibly smart too, much smarter than I could ever thing of being. It was loads of fun. Basically two dates in one day! Lunch and then Fireworks later in the evening. It was a great time! Hope I get to go out many more times with her.
Okay, well i'm off to drink a cerveza and see if there is anything worth watching on tv. Prolly not, but there are great flicks at the theater. Go see WallE! Its great for kids and adults. I'm just a big kid so its awesome. I highly encourage it for those who get away from their computer.
Ciao!
