I also... thought "Pour Some Sugar On Me" was a great song.

What exactly are you driving at, short round?

This is the kind of shit that makes me want to make like a JD and hop aboard the Royals bandwagon.

Don't do it.  I dabbled for about two weeks earlier this year and it sucked more than every Cub disappointment of my lifetime rolled into one.

The way I look at it, it's basically a wash except for two variables.

1. Money - The Cubs have a lot. The Royals have very little.
2. Fans - The Cubs have a lot. The Royals have very few.

So, it's a lateral move.

Yeah, and you have to play the White Sox more than six times. Gross.

I dabble with supporting the Blue Jays and the O's in the interim, even though American League baseball is absolutely terrible.

I used to be a more-than-mild Brewers fan, back in the good ol' days when there was no interleague play, the Brewers were in the AL, bleacher seats at County Stadium topped out at $4, it was easy to get served underage and Greg Vaughn patrolled left field. Good times.

Actually, I drift to the Royals and A's when the Cubs are...well...the Cubs.

There are times "when the Cubs are...well...the Cubs" when the Royals are entertaining?
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

The Royals are entertaining every fifth day.  Rarely more often than that.

Nope, Mike Jacobs.  Gets a hit once every five days or so.

I've started to wear my Twins hat again.  Maybe I'll buy a Mauer jersey just in time to be a bandwagon fan when he's swinging for .400 this season.
