You might recall that last year, my crazy preseason predictions included:
1. The Gil Meche signing — despite the beating the Royals took nationally — was a good signing.
Result: It’s too soon to project victory on this one — Gil signed a five-year, $55 million deal — but I sure like the way the polls [...]
You might recall that last year, my crazy preseason predictions included:
1. The Gil Meche signing -- despite the beating the Royals took nationally -- was a good signing.
Result: It’s too soon to project victory on this one -- Gil signed a five-year, $55 million deal -- but I sure like the way the polls are looking. Meche set personal bests in innings pitched, ERA, struck out 156 and walked 62, and he did it under quite a bit of duress. People ... Read More

So, I take a couple of days off from this blog so I can try to catch up on, I don’t know, LIFE, and I come back and you people are BETTING on how many words this will be? And my dear Minda is setting the line at 4,325 words? Are you serious? That’s longer [...]
So, I take a couple of days off from this blog so I can try to catch up on, I don’t know, LIFE, and I come back and you people are BETTING on how many words this will be? And my dear Minda is setting the line at 4,325 words? Are you serious? That’s longer than Mitch Albom’s novels. I cannot live up to these expectations, people. I’m going to crack. I’m going to end up in some institution, and I’ll be ... Read More

AP: How much did you pay?
RC: Pay for what?
AP: The TV? How much did you pay for the TV?
RC: Andy, I said I was [...]

I don’t watch much television these days. The Office. That’s about it. I don’t say this with any sort of smug pride — anyone who reads this blog knows that I love television and wish I watched more. I feel quite certain that I would love The Wire, 24 (is that still on?), 30 Rock [...]
I don’t watch much television these days. The Office. That’s about it. I don’t say this with any sort of smug pride -- anyone who reads this blog knows that I love television and wish I watched more. I feel quite certain that I would love The Wire, 24 (is that still on?), 30 Rock and lots of other shows. It’s just that, between the job, writing 4,000 word Royals previews,* working on a book, hanging with the kids (I do watch ... Read More

From a sworn affidavit given to Congress (according to the Associated [...]
