NAIROBI, KENYA - Pick one:

• You're a baseball team in the Major League that could probably be beat by a mediocre, underhand-pitch PeeWee baseball team. And you're 4 games away from tying a record of ultimate futility. (Hint: And you're in Kansas City. Sigh.)
• You buy a new SUV, only to find out that gas prices are projected to be near $5/gallon next year. And, to ruin your day more: If a terrorist gets antsy and decides to attack a Middle East oild field, we could end up paying $10/gallon.
