46 Losses so far, only 75 to go.

The Royals cant be cocky tonight, the Angels are a pretty bad team. We need to bring our "F" game if we want to earn that defeat tonight.

Any guesses how we could possibly lose this one?

Weaver is an idiot.

tk13 · 06-13-2006, 09:18 PM

Mark Teahen... woooo. Or something. He's making some things happen lately.

Supposedly Reggie Sanders told the Angels announcers that he doesn't think he'll be a Royal much longer. Apparently a ton of teams have called about him... there's one advantage to baseball having much greater parity the last couple years, we're literally about the only team in a "seller" mode now because most teams are still hanging around.
