Opening Day

Wooo March Madness!

A Final Four that featured a 1 vs 2, and a 1 vs 2....and the 1 seeds both won! Crazy. I'm not complaining, because there's noone to complain to, and that wouldn't accomplish anything. But I'll just say that I've enjoyed other tournaments a lot more, and I hope that next year is better.

For now, the Kansas City Royals are .500 and that's pretty good. Here's hoping they get a winning record last year.

In 2006, they started 0-2. They got up to 2-2, and then proceeded to have the record of 2-13. Less than a month into the season, they were 5-17 on May 1st. Then in May, they had a 13-game losing streak.

In 2005, they lost their first game and got up to 3-3. Then they had a 9-game losing streak in April and that was pretty much it.

In 2004, they had a winning record. They were 1-0 and 4-3. Sure they finished 58-104, but they were winners for at least a couple days.

2003 was the last time they were respectable. They finished with a winning record, 3rd in their division, and only 12 games out of the playoffs.

With all that in mind, I can safely say the Royals are going to be awesome this year. Alex Gordon, Luke Hochevar, Gil Meche...watch out world, the 2007 Royals are coming out on fire!
I'll be tivoing today's Red Sox game and probably watching it tomorrow night. Here's to a winning season, er, record.
