So throw another $6 million or so into the fire for the under three years of service time crew and the Royals are clocking in right around $120 million.

And that’s before re-signing Eric Hosmer.

The USWNT co-captain would be an important player for the first-year club.

Congrats to the Top 1% who have waited so long, tirelessly and unendurably funneling millions of dollars into Republican Super PACs, to make this day a reality.

After hours of travel, you walk in the front door hoping to put your bag down. Instead, you're greeted by an extensive list of questions from your Aunt Gladys about all aspects of your life.
