    Had no idea either. All 18 of his HRs have come in the last 55 or so games.

    He had 0 through the first 25 games. That's a hell of a surge.

    A stretch, seeing as how it's only the break, but I wonder if anyone has ever won the HR title after hitting 0 in April.

    He looks like a fat Michael Johnson with those gold cleats.

    didn't think you were supposed to be able to hit homers out of Kauffman?

    I like Prince Fielder about as much as I imagine I'd like hemorrhoids.

    And that's as much fun as KC baseball fans have had in 25 years.

    If you can tell me you still like listening to Chris Berman after this, I think you need to be admitted to the crazy house.

    I'd rather listen to Bob Kesling call this drunk.

    Fielder and Bautista. This isn't one of the most exciting in recent memory, but I still love watching this stuff.

    WM, I wondered who the first person to put CP as their avatar would be. I like it.

    I became a big fan Harmon Killebrew because of this show and bought a few of his baseball cards.

    The highlight so far is John kruk eating ribs.

    After Hamilton's show in 2008, its been boring.

    I enjoyed the George Brett interview. I also really enjoyed watching Prince go yard 12 times just now... but that's just me.
