By the way...

Last night's Kansas City win was Win #40 on the season.

So I set out to find out how long it took to get to 40 last year. I had forgotten (or repressed? Yeah, probably repressed.) how atrocious the first half and the beginning of the 2nd half were last year. Are you ready for this? The Royals took until the following date to reach 40 wins in '06:

August 9. Yes, really.

Sigh.
