Friday "Happy Birthday, Tensegrity!" Random 10+

Rohanna was so pleased last night, as she was able to inform me that the Royals had fired Trey Hillman. Usually I am the one passing sports-related info to her. I wasn't shocked or surprised. I had been predicting since last season that if the Royals didn't get off to a good start, he'd be gone by Memorial Day. Given that in the past week he'd had the offical KC Star baseball columnist "He Must Go" piece written about him, followed by the obiligatory "Utmost Confidence" Kiss of Death statement by the general manager, it was inevitable. Of course, the real problem with the Royals is that general manager Dayton Moore has spent a lot of David Glass's Wal-Mart money on very bad players, and until he's gone, and a management team that actually understands player evaluation in the 21st century is put in place, the team isn't going to get any better.

That's it from the sports desk, now on to the music:
