Bleeding Kansas (City Royals fans)

I attended my first-ever opening day last week, making the drive to Kansas City up from my current abode in the Ozarks to see the Tigers take on the Royals at Kaufman Stadium in KC.
As we all know, the Royals have some…. problems. The Kansas City Star devoted their entire baseball preview section [...]

Lame!

Rollin off the rails…a Detroit epic in song

The Dontrelle Willis Fiasco has been written about time and again, so I won’t delve too deeply into it here, other than to point out:
