Nice article on Bobby Madritsch in USA Today

Nice article on the front page of the USA Today sports section- check it out if you haven't read it already- link

So KC comes to town for a 5-game series. After getting swept by the lowly Rays, what possible expectations should we have as the two worst teams in the AL go head-to-head?

Really, is there any team in all of baseball that is playing any worse than the M's?
