The Comeback
Race from the Bottom had to take a little time off, go on the DL for a week or so (or, you know, I had a major project due at work. Same difference). Despite the presence of Google AdSense, this site doesn't keep my dog in pretty hats, but my job does, so you know—priorities.
Since last we spoke, the Royals have gone on a six-game losing streak due to the unstoppableness that is the Twins, the Pirates have won twice (once against the Cubs), and the Cubs have reached 47 wins, putting their place on this site in relative danger, even though they lost to both the Pirates and the Diamondbacks in one week. So it's pretty much been business as usual.
This week, however, we hold some tickets to excitement. First, I would like to introduce Stephen Himes, RttB's special correspondent for pain. Himes knows pain intimately; for one thing, he lives in Kansas and is in law school. For another, he is a lifelong Kansas City Royals fan and has actually witnessed this season's crapitude in person. For this, he deserves a medal. Or a cold beer. We'll get to Stephen's first report in an upcoming post.
Second, I received something special in the mail today. It brings me great joy, and it is only a month away. Behold:
It. is. on.
