Ditto to the Ditto

This time of year rocks... AND IT ROCKS SO HARD THAT I paid for MLB Audio for SPRING TRAINING!!! and yes, I am listening to it every chance I get. You learn a great deal. For instance, Ryan Lefebvre (Royals broadcaster) is writing a book about his years of depression, semi-inspired by Greinke's plight. Wouldn't have known if not for him being interviewed by the Oakland broadcast team today during the game!!!

There is so much to cover and not enough space. Well, that's a lie. There's plenty of space.

Let's start with Jared Allen. He needs to shut up and take a deal with the Chiefs. Yes, I disagree with my cohort in bloggin' crime. Peterson needs to make this guy happy. As much as I would like a team full of quality people, there's seems to be a shortage of those guys + talent.

Allen has the talent and is young. Peterson needs to split the diff and make this guy happy. With Mitchell, Edwards, and Reed possibly leaving (and these guys aren't very good) we need to keep Allen. Our linebackers can only get better if we get a line that can make holes for them. There are too many questions on this team not to sign a guy like Allen (who is consistent and good) for 5-6 million for a few years. Keep him and hope he stays off the sauce.

My sentiments exactly with baseball season. If there anything more beautiful than a curveball buckling someone's knees (Wainwright to Beltran in the World Series). I'm pretty tired of hearing about Kevin Durant and since I get no hockey channels in this town...

Speaking of hockey!!!! Go KC Monarchs. Pittsburgh came one step closer to handing us a franchise that is close to being a contender year in and year out, which will provide a much needed boost to KC where both of its major teams are still a year or two away from contention. Hockey could give us the respite we need until all the teams can contend.

Finally, GO Brigade. Won their first game against Chicago and a defensive player won player of the week!! and things are looking up.

Finally, finally, Napolean Harris our new MLB? I'll take it, as long as we resign Mitchell to be an OLB. Both are consistent, good players. Not stars, but good enough to boost this defense, especially with DJ on the other side. Resigning Mitchell will automatically be an upgrade over "Someone killed Kennie's Career" Bell.

Make it happen Peterson.

Here's the "How to go from Megaloathe to Loathe Handbook" by Kevin Fink, that Peterson needs to follow:
1. Re-sign Mitchell
2. Release Sims
3. Demand Bennett get more touches (i.e., lessen Johnson's load)
4. Re-sign Allen longterm and then kiss his ass for being an idiot
5. Release Sammy Parker...
6. Take a look at Kevin Curtis
7. Draft CBs to go with our new FS and S.
8. Trade for a backup, fading star type QB (a la, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Schuab, etc.)
9. Somehow get Fatlock fired for being fat. or dumb. mostly just fat.
