You Can’t Spell Wild Card

From MLB.com:

wil

…which is a perfectly good reason why the Rays are going to win a wild card slot.

Except:

1. You can’t spell Wild Kard without Kuroda, although if you’re trying to spell Wild Kard, you really can’t spell.
2. You can’t spell Wild Card without Wada, as in Tsuyoshi Wada, with a 4.03 ERA in Norfolk, the Orioles’ AAA affiliate.
3. You can’t spell “You Can’t Spell Wild Card” without Yu, as in Darvish.
4. You can’t spell anything without the letters in Marc Rzepcynski’s name, since they’re all in there. And he’s on the Indians, in case you didn’t know.

And, also:

5. You can’t spell “Fail to Win The Wild Card, You Royals Fans” without Falu, as in Irving Falu, who hit .341 last year and hasn’t even gotten a single at bat in the major leagues in 2013. Poor Irving Falu!

Which all combines to tell me nothing.
