Rod's Thursday Ramblings on Wednesday

What is with the Kansas City Royals. They swept Detroit last week. They beat them bad Tuesday and are giving the Tigers alot of fits Wednesday night. They are like late bloomers. You know, like the high school or college athlete who finally comes into their own and becomes good the year after they graduate! And what's with the Twins. Find out you don't have Jason Morneau the rest of the year and now Michael Cuddeyer starts hitting the ball when it counts. And Nick Punto isn't going away anytime soon. A 4 game winning streak and a sweep of the Indians who made them look bad a month ago under the teflon sky of the Metrodome. And what's up with the Cubs. They are winning more than they are losing now, after they are all but eliminated from the NL Central and wild card. Could it be that they could not overcome the outfielding exploits of Alphonso and Milton? Bradley at least hit a little in August, when no body else did. Now he is struggling and the team is hitting and scoring, except for Wednesday night as I blog this. Soriano is done for the year. Only 6 more to go. Years on his contract after this year. Possibly, just possibly, this is all the doings of ACORN!!!!!
