Yesterday, the Kansas City Royals announced that Michael John Sweeney would be the 26th player elected to their Hall of Fame. This makes very good and complete sense, as Michael John—or “Mike” as he is more commonly called—was a good … Continue reading

Leftridge: KC Takes “No Room for Improvement!” Approach at Winter Meetings, Apparently
Hot off of their first World Series appearance in almost three decades (when I stop and think about that, it still freaks me out and doesn’t feel quite “real”), the Kansas City Royals headed into Major League Baseball’s winter meetings … Continue reading

Leftridge: Fresh Off World Series, Royals Seek Replacement Parts
With Major League Baseball’s off season hootenanny officially underway—Ned Yost finished third in AL Manager of the Year voting, btw—it’s time for rumors to start flying faster than insults regarding intellect and/or sexuality in the KCC comments section. So far, … Continue reading

Leftridge: The End of Billy Butler
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: ALCS Gets Under Way Friday, or Maybe Saturday

Leftridge: Some Sort of Sporting Event Happening Tonight or Something
Look, I never expected to be so right in my Kansas City/Oakland A’s Wild Card prediction, but like the classic 1971 Jerry Reed ditty suggests, “When you’re hot, you’re hot.” That’s right, I knew I was going out on a limb … Continue reading

Leftridge: The Hunt for Blue October
The Chiefs start their 2014 campaign on Sunday against the dreaded Titans of Tennessee. That’s cool, and I’m excited—go football!—but to be honest, I’ll probably be mostly watching the Kansas City Royals take on the New York Yankees. (On TBS, … Continue reading

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

Leftridge: The Pointlessness of NFL Training Camp Reporting
Ah, Training Camp. Are there any two words in the English language more apt to illicit sexual squeals from NFL beat writers across the land? (Perhaps “free sandwiches,” but my point stands.) It’s clear that we’re firmly in late July … Continue reading
