What isn’t there to talk about after coming off one of the most collectively pathetic pro sports weekends in Kansas City history?
- (Yeah, I see you, Sporting Kansas City, with your clinched playoff spot and amazing defense. But, you’re not in the majority’s mindset. Not yet anyways…)
- With the Kansas City Chiefs, I don’t even know where to start yelling.
- Do I even want to yell at this point?
- I did too much of that during the first two quarters.
- Again.
- Romeo Crennel has no answers, but the amazing piece to this is that we expect something different from a head coach whose career record is 27-44 between two different organizations.
- Matt Cassel has 10 turnovers in four games. His seven interceptions are tied for the NFL lead with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brandon Weeden. His four fumbles (three lost) are tied for third in the NFL behind Robert Griffin III and Michael Vick.
- Dwayne Bowe and Jonathan Baldwin collectively lead the NFL in ridiculous poses after meaningless catches.
- If this roster, this defense specifically, is as talented as we keep hearing, just how disconnected are the players from the coach?
- Chalk that up as one more answer Romeo doesn’t have.
- And, kudos to whomever ran the music at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday and slipped in the Ramones “I Wanna Be Sedated” during the game. By far, that was the best effort of anyone in a Chiefs uniform this weekend.
- Meanwhile, we move across the Truman Sports Complex parking lot from one disaster to another.
- Just like the Kansas City Royals always believed we would, we’re finally talking about Luke Hochevar in October.
- Unfortunately, Little Hiram was at it again, capping off another Hochevarian effort — 4.2 IP, 9 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 3 BB, 7 K — in a 15-3 loss at Cleveland; a game that featured a 10-run fifth inning.
- Hochevar’s 2012 final line: 8 wins, career-high 16 losses, second-worst in career 5.73 ERA, career-worst 72 ERA+, career-high 202 hits allowed, career-high 118 earned runs, career-high 27 home runs allowed, career-high 144 strikeouts, career-high 13 hit batters, second-worst in career 8 wild pitches… and a dead partridge in a barren pear tree.
- And, Bob Dutton’s story in the Kansas City Star quotes Ned Yost as talking about next year with Hochevar, “when he figures it out, we’re going to be in great shape.”
- Dutton also points out “a likely increase in salary from his $3.51 million,” a freaking raise, is likely through arbitration if the Royals keep him.
- I thought I was tough like Missouri quarterback James Franklin, but screw it…
- I wanna be sedated.
