KC Media and the Internet

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? My timing was perfect as 810 had just started the clip when I started recording.

Here’s a look at the search traffic to MattStooks.com for today.

Jose Guillen and the Royals collapse are huge news in Kansas City. Every media company in Kansas City had this audio, yet I’m getting all the search traffic for it because no one posted or tagged it correctly.

As of this writing, Matt Stooks.com is number one on Google for “jose guillen tirade” and “jose guillen tirade audio.”

Matt Stooks.com is number three on Google for “jose guillen’s tirade,” number four for “audio of jose guillen going off,” number 10 for “jose guillen audio,” and number 13 for “jose guillen outburst audio.”

None of the other results have the audio.

I’m just a random Royals fan in my home office, I shouldn’t be getting all this traffic. Believe it or not, “MattStooks.com” isn’t exactly the destination for Kansas City news, sports and information. Every media outlet in town should easily outrank me on this. Pathetic. Meanwhile, I’m always looking for more work…contact me here.

  1. Nice job collecting hits on MattStooks.com

    You’re my favorite journalist. You had tape rolling at the right time, and you got the job done.

    But as a Royals fan, I long for the days when a tirade in the clubhouse was a REAL tirade. Jose’s tirade was nothing compared to Hal McRae’s in 1993. Hit that up on YouTube if you need a refresher.

    Times are rough. The baseball is subpar and so are the tirades.

    • One of the all-time greatest. I hadn’t seen it in quite awhile. Thanks for the nudge. For anyone looking for it, here’s the link.

      After watching that, I got sucked into a YouTube time-waste from the related videos. Man, it’s great watching people lose their minds on camera.
