I was disappointed that the Kansas City Royals lost the World Series, and now I’m kind of sad because it looks like they’ll be bidding farewell to one of the better hitters in team history. Although it comes as no … Continue reading

Leftridge: The Royals Have Turned Me Into a Big Pussy
So I was wrong about the Royals… Look, I’ll admit it. In the piece I posted before the ALCS, I suggested that Kansas City would win the series, but Baltimore would rack up two victories in the process. Jesus, Mary … Continue reading

Leftridge: Some Sort of Sporting Event Happening Tonight or Something

Leftridge: Chiefs Could Have Gone 4-0 in the Preseason, Would Still Suck This Year
In case you missed it, the Kansas City Chiefs did not have a very good preseason. In fact, it was pretty abysmal. This has caused uneducated football fans around the city to declare “THIS TEAM IS GONNA BE REAL BAD … Continue reading
