The Royals are 27-32 at home. After last night, they are 1-9 when I attend. Home winning percentage: 46% Me winning percentage: 10% I must be emanating some awful aura that spreads through the stadium and affects this team.

Tuesday, I went to “Frank White Powder Blue T-Shirt Night” at Kauffman Stadium. I had wanted to go, and Geoff came through with free tickets. We entered the stadium and got our free extra large t-shirts. They had a stand where you could go exchange the shirt for a medium. I thought this was a…
Check out how the Kansas City Star treated the latest Jose Guillen sound bite. “We still (stink),” Guillen says. “How about that? We still (stink), simple as that. We still (stink). You got it. If you want to know the truth, you got it.” Parentheses should never show up inside quotes, but this particular usage…
DB and I wanted to catch a Royals game Wednesday night. First, we went for drinks and food in Waldo. We had a couple of drinks at Tanner’s before heading next door for Waldo Pizza. Crap beer was $1.25. I chose Old Style. DB chose Schlitz. The Schlitz didn’t make Danny famous, but the Old…
Yesterday, I posted the audio of Jose Guillen blowing his l lid. I couldn’t find audio or video of it anywhere, so I started streaming and rolling tape on 810 WHB. I wanted to capture it and share it with people who were looking for it on a little thing called “The Internet.” Heard of…
It took me forever to find audio of Jose Guillen going off on his teammates, so I thought you might like to hear it. Guillen Outburst Tirade Explosion Cursing And Sounding All Around Upset (1:10 mp3) Podcast: Download (554.3KB)
I’m loving the placement of the “How will the Royals lose tonight?” poll on the Kansas City Star front page. You click through, and the poll is pretty classic.
Thanks to my brother Bob for making me realize just how bad the Royals are. Wow. Just, wow. What a collapse, what a horrible team, what a long baseball season. Something has to be done to shake up the roster, today. And Nunez going on the DL doesn’t count. The only good thing that came…
The Royals improved to 1-5 in games with me in attendance, thanks to Friday’s Buck Night game. If you aren’t familiar, the Royals sell hot dogs, small sodas and peanuts for a dollar on Buck Nights. Hot dog wrappers flew onto the field. The grounds crew got to play “Janitor.” Here are some loud jackasses…
We got free tickets to the Royals doubleheader last night. Geoff, Kevin, Dan and I hung out in the parking lot for the first half of the first game before going inside. My camera took a bit of a beating last night. After I took the above shot, I tried to take a timed shot…
I went to my third Royals game of the year last night. The Royals are 0-3 in games with me in attendance. They’ve lost five in a row. Last night’s game was particularly rough. Cleveland beat the Royals 15-1. The good news is I have a douchebag usher to tell you about. The Douche Usher…
Royals pitcher Brian Bannister shares AL Player of the Week with former Royal Raul Ibanez. Bannister was the AL’s rookie of the month last year in June and August, but this is his first award as AL player of the week. He is 3-0 overall with an 0.86 ERA. Posnanski reminds us of his hatred…
The last week for this blog has been all about toilets, the Royals, toilets at Royals games, and today it’s about toilets at bars while watching the Royals. Unlike recent years, I’m not in a position to talk about the Royals being in the toilet, so that theme will thankfully have to wait. We went…
We went to the Royals game Saturday night. It was cold. We tailgated three hours before the game. Highlights – A very obese, yet not quite Mangino-sized, man tailgated 50 yards away. He wore navy blue sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt. – We were at the game three hours early, yet didn’t get in early…
I went to my first Royals game of the year tonight. My goal for the year is 20 games, so if you’re in the KC metro and hankering for some Royals, hit me up. It was a good time. That new HD scoreboard is pretty sweet. They throw lots of information up there. It’ll take…
America took it right in the kisser yesterday. The Mitchell Report lists 86 players connected to performance-enhancing drugs. That’s right, a bunch of baseball players have used steroids. If only we would’ve seen this coming. I heard a lot of commentary that focused on a weird angle: Not only did superstars take steroids, but some…
I hate online polls (see here and here). News broke this morning about the Royals hiring a new manager. So, they had to throw up an online poll. Sadly, Americans are suckers for polls. In an hour and a half, 700 people jumped at the opportunity to cast their meaningless vote. Screenshot. Clicking will get…
