Well, so much for turning the corner. We did terrible last night against the D-Backs, even with Greinke on the mound. Right now, I’m just really annoyed. I thought we were going to do so much better after getting out of this slump. It’s like Indian Summer, that warm spell after the first frost of the year, I think. Having a dad (Happy Father’s Day) who’s a meteorologist, he could probably explain it better. I just forgot why this even connects to baseball. Moving on…

Sammy Sosa using PEDs? Why didn’t they tell us this earlier? I’ve said this before, and I’ll probably say this again: Why now? He tested positive in 2003. They should probably tell us in 2003, then. I don’t think it took six years to get the results. It seems that someone high up in the majors wants to keep baseball in the news or something. Did they not realize that the only sports going on right now are baseball, the college world series, and soccer. The CWS is going to be over soon, and soccer isn’t exactly America’s pastime, though I enjoy a match now and then. I’m just getting really annoyed with all of these record holders testing positive for banned substances. Should we automatically suspect that somebody who breaks a record in this league used steroids? Let’s say Zack Greinke broke that scoreless inning record earlier this season. “Oh, wait, he probably used steroids!” (But more accurately, “Oh, wait, how can somebody on the Royals break a record without cheating?). If I hear any more of this, I’m going to crawl under a rock and not come out until October, unless the Royals start doing better.

Finally, last Saturday while I was Chocolatetown on vacation (Hershey) I walked by Hersheypark, the theme park there. What song was playing? Yes, Saturday In The Park by Chicago. Coincidence?
