Rumor Has It...
Straight from that trashy tabloid The Star, here's a juicy one: the Kansas City Royals are headed to the National League. Or perhaps not. The cold hard truth (or perhaps more made-up nonsense) after the jump...
As a guy who watches both kinds of baseball (country AND Wes--I mean AL and NL) I can say this with authority: Kansas City, you want this switch. You need this switch. In the National League, you'll cease being the worst team everyone has ever seen. On the Senior Circuit, you'll merely be awful. But no more awful than, say, the San Francisco Giants. Or the Washington Nationals. You'll be just another D student in the NL as opposed to the helmeted, wheelchair-bound special needs kid in the AL.
But why stop there, KC? You could be positively respectable in the Pacific Coast League, and downright dominant in Double-A. But to truly achieve the magnificent success you once enjoyed* I suggest this final destination. Play ball!

That same story featured this nugget o' choiceness:
"ESPN The Magazine recently commissioned a poll regarding perceptions about the NBA. And when 1,240 respondents were asked whether the statement 'players are wholesome' applied to the NBA, only 14 percent agreed.
On the other hand, 34 percent of the respondents indicated they believed the statement did apply to the NHL (another reason for Kansas City to go after the NHL).
Thirty-three percent said major-league players appeared wholesome, and 22 percent said NFL players appeared to be."
Huh. I know one thing for sure--the general whiteness of Hockey players had *nothing* to do with that statement.
Later, schmater. You best begin apologizin' now, foo'.
Anyone who's anybody knows that Jeffrey Flanagan's the biggest print-journal douche in town.
Trashy tabloid? Please. The Star, on its worst day, destroys the Post and the News combined. On their best days.
I'll admit that that's the first I've heard of that NL movement rumor. Kind of reminds me of the movement I left in the can this morning.
Kansas City has baseball? I thought Kansas City was stripped of all professional sports teams.
Mmm-hmm. And we all know what happens when you get to thinking. Pretty sure trees grow faster.
