I'm a middle of the road team so far. I was happier a few weeks ago when the Royals were actually playing well. We've got tickets in a few weeks to watch them play the Twins. I can't wait for a hot dog, beer, and nachos. I’m playing with strangers in a Yahoo league this year. I’m a middle of the road team so far.

It's just silly. Add the steroids on top of all that and I'm truly sent packing. Though I can still take great pleasure in watching a Little League or softball game.

It reminded me how much I do love the game. Bronson Arroyo did pretty good for me for a few games. I suppose there has always been bad baseball juju what with grease and spit balls and sandpaper and corked bats etc. But the drug thing is a real downer. I hate it but I tell myself that a bad pitcher on steroids is simply a bad pitcher on steroids. Maybe he can throw the ball badly just a little faster.
