Oh wait, that’s their winning percentage.
So, while I’m glad the Royals have been able to put together a season-high win streak at four games, I’m realizing how bleak my team’s season picture actually is. If they started playing .500 ball right now for the rest of the season… they’d still lose 94 games.
Up until last week, their winning percentage in the .200s was putting them on pace to either tie or beat the all-time losing record held by the ’62 Mets.
I know many of you don’t give a rip about baseball, but I can’t help it. They lured me out with their first winning season in a decade in 2003. Since then I’ve been punished with 104, 106 and unless a miracle happens another 100+ loss season. Oy.
Hey. At the rate they are going they just might just move ahead of Pittsburg this week leave the Pirates as the worst team in baseball.

So it’s late and I wanted to read something deep and spiritual and got baseball
. I’m up for that. Go Rockies. At least most years misery loves company, but Rox are better right now.
Good post on politics however. I’m an indie, but lean to the right (don’t hold that against me!) but I’m sick and tired of Christianity becoming a political party with no voices allowed on the ‘other side’. Jesus invited everyone to the party…or rather he invited all parties to His party.
Goodnight.

David – I haven’t had too much “spiritual” inspiration lately, hence the posts about baseball and politics.
I won’t hold the right-leaning against you
Truth be told, I’m still “right” leaning on quite a few items. I don’t really fit in the right-left paradigm so much. I think that’s where a lot of Christians are, and why emerging church types come off as anti- the right wing. Because having come from a strong right-wing background, I can tell you if you’re not for their “major” issues, you’re a full-blown liberal.

I like what my wife says, “Morally conservative and socially progressive.” – For the most part.
I’m still weighing the issues on how political the gospel is (was Paul political in speaking out against the Roman Empire, was Jesus a politcal figure, etc?) but I do feel that Christians – although should be involved in the politics of the day – need not equate beliefs with any political platfrom and camp out on one side while throwing rocks across the river to the other side.
