17 Down - Mariners 4, Royals 3

Give the boys credit... they are certainly imaginative in finding new ways to lose. From the AP story: "The Royals' losing streak reached 17 games Tuesday night when they lost 4-3 to the Seattle Mariners on Yuniesky Betancourt's go-ahead infield single in the eighth inning."

Stealing third with two outs is one of the cardinal sins of baseball, yet the gods decide to punish us with the infield single.

Sigh.

I heard that crazy stat on the morning radio - I came this close "_" to giving you a call and asking what's up with that, but hey - everything else in your life seems to be going in the right direction, what would you have to complain about if the Royals didn't suck Royally :) Hey, fantasy football is just around the corner & I'm in a league - any good Cheifs to look at?
