Kansas City Sports Team in the Running

With the Chiefs crumbling and the Royals at home watching their superiors enjoy the playoffs, it sometimes slips the mind that Kansas City does have one of the best soccer teams in the United States. The Wizards are playing the San Jose Earthquake on Saturday evening at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, starting at 7, in a game with HUGE (but confusing) playoff implications.

To sweeten the deal, it's also fan appreciation night. That means fireworks, baby!

You have to appreciate a team which has its own blog, especially when the blog is so earnest and straightforward that it eschews "Touch My Monkey" humor while posting this picture. Such high levels of dignity are refreshing here on the internet.
