Yes, I know I am about five days late on this. But I am the only writer on the Draft Day Suit staff that gives a shit about Kansas City sports, so you will listen when I have the microphone dammit!

Ahem.

Anyway, thanks to my fine friends in Cincinnati (specifically Carson Palmer for ripping San Diego’s defense a new asshole), my beloved Chiefs have locked down the AFC West division title. And man, does it feel good! Not only have we made the playoffs for the first time since the 2006 season, but we actually get to host a playoff game at the new Arrowhead Stadium. Double bonus!

When this season began, I wouldn’t have even dreamed that we would be playoff bound let alone division champs. Hell, I was shooting for an 8-8 record and just a bit of progress in the playoff direction. To say I am surprised and thrilled would be an understatement. But with all this excitement comes a tad bit of worry. And what worries me the most? Indianapolis is still in the playoff picture.

If you aren’t familiar with Chiefs’ most recent playoff history, lemme pull you up to speed. Three of the last four playoff games the Chiefs found themselves in just happened to be against the Indianapolis Colts. How many of the three did the Chiefs win, you ask? ZERO. It’s basically the same old story each time. The Chiefs show up, Peyton Manning confuses them with shiny things, and we lose. Period. Point. Blank.

So, with the Colts needing a win this weekend, all I can do is one thing and one thing only. Well, actually two things. First? Drink beer. That always helps any situation. Second? Cheer on the Tennessee Titans, of course. So, here’s to you, Tennessee. Please, please do me a solid and kick some Colt ass this weekend. The entire Kansas City area will forever be your friend.

At 24, Gonzalez could be part of the MVP discussion for years to come after hitting a robust .336 in his third full season in the majors with 34 homers, 117 RBIs and 26 stolen bases in 34 attempts. Car-Go hit .380 with 26 dingers and 76 RBIs in 74 games playing in the thinner air at Coors Field in Denver.

Votto, on the other hand, was a more imposing batter away from Cincinnati's hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park (.349 average to .297 at home) with fairly even homer/RBI production — 18, 56 at home and 19, 57 on the road.

He ranked in the top three in 11 offensive categories — leading in six, including on-base percentage and slugging percentage (.600) — finished top five in 15 categories and top eight in 18.

Votto also reached first base in a career-best 41 consecutive games from May 15 to July 3 — the longest streak for a Reds batter since Pete Rose reached in 48 straight contests in 1978.

Biography:

Ian Jonathan Leonard Trott (born 22 April 1981 in Cape Town) is a South African born English cricketer who has played domestic cricket in South Africa, England and New Zealand. He has represented South Africa at U19 level. Trott hit four first class centuries for Warwickshire during the 2005 season, bettering his previous career best to 152 against Glamorgan before taking it to 210 against Sussex three weeks later. His 1,161 first class runs of 2005 was the second-highest tally of the Warwickshire season, only behind Nick Knight. In all, Trott has hit 5,437 first class runs as of 13 June 2007 and following further good returns in 2007 he was selected in June in England's one day squad for the forthcoming series against the West Indies having qualified for selection at the end of the previous year because his grandparents are English. Trott shook off a hand injury and played in both Twenty-20 Internationals against the West Indies but failed to contribute in double figures and the series ended 1-1.[1]
