On the fence.

Wait... what was the roster move today?

DFA Johnson...

I find it kind of weird that people say this a lot. It's like saying "I Love Lucy" is before a certain generation's time. You don't have to necessarily live history to know about it.

Sorry, just an observation, not a criticism.

Oh thank god

God does exist.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

If the Royals lose tonight, it does not mean the season is over. There is a month and a half of baseball left.

I don't remember their ever being reruns of The Ed Sullivan Show

Good thing is that Guthrie is 4-0 against the Tigers since joining the Royals rotation.

No, I agree totally. There should be a common, shared cultural knowledge. For instance, I know a lot about 1940s pop culture by watching tons of Warner Bros. cartoons as a kid in the 1970s.

However, I also realize the reality is a lot of folks these days don't do that, so I went for the lowest common denominator assumption in my reply to him -- as I have seen lots of folks on CP say, "Huh, before my time" to certain references.

That would be sweet, I would be thrilled with us on top of a 3-2 split.

Oakland has already won and the Yanks have lost today.

In NFL terms, this is week 15 and the Royals are 8-7

In for disappointment.

Can't help but be excited for this series though.

No the season was over when we lost to the Marlins. And before the All Star break. And in May. Hell the season is over everytme we lose a ****ing game!!!!!
