For you Kansas City Harry Potter fans out there

Rany Jazayerli speaks for you. His latest Baseball Prospectus column imagines parallels between the Kansas City Royals and Harry Potter characters.

Dayton Moore = Albus Dumbledore

Like Dumbledore, Moore works mostly behind the scenes, but always seems to be thinking several steps ahead, and despite the occasional mistake (having Snape teach Harry Occlumency; trading away Ruben Gotay), both have an uncanny knack for doing the right thing. Certainly, the level of confidence and devotion that some Royals fans have in Moore at the moment rivals Harry’s proclamation that he was "Dumbledore’s man through and through."

This while Sirius Black... er, Gil Meche... attempts to overcome his poor run support to defeat the vaunted Yankees. Keep battling, Gil. Remember, A-Rod is just another human being trying to fill his hollowness with money and massively impressive home runs.

UPDATE: Meche just gave up a home run to A-Rod, mere seconds after I typed, "A-Rod is just another human being trying to fill his hollowness with money and massively impressive home runs." Now Hideki Matsui's got one. What a ridiculous team, these Yankees.
