Same Old Song and Dance.

Wake must be used to it by now, right? Sixteen years of generally pitching well only to see his teammates blow it for him. Either that or he's a bit of a masochist. Very frustrating. I wouldn't be surprised if sweet, gentlemanly Wake just snapped one day and popped one of them.

Also, the Royals really don't know how to throw a party; that little pre-game ceremony was poorly done. It looked like it was thrown together at the last minute and the whole thing was confusing. Golf clubs? Huh? Look! We got your dad a watch! What? If you really want to re-present him with a trophy that he's probably had sitting on his mantle all winter (which gets a bit of an eye-roll), do that. But leave out all the extraneous crap, it seems desperate.
