This is the first time I’ve been near a stable(ish) Internet connection since the news came out Friday that Mike Sweeney signed a one-day contract with the Royals and retired. Like many Royals fans of this era, I have Opinions about Sweeney. But unlike most cynical bloggers out there, mine are positive ones. Mike Sweeney, …

What does a press pass get you? The chance to be MEAN.

I’m not the first to criticize T.J. Simers for his unbelievably mean-spirited piece on Marcus Thames of the Dodgers, and I’m sure I won’t be the last. Ty Duffy was all over it this morning, and did a pretty good job of pointing out a) the mean things that Simers said, and b) the very …

Small announcement: California!

Omaha Chasers, Quickies

by

This might be old news to some of my Twitter followers and Facebook friends, but I figure this news does deserve its own post. This summer, I’m going to be working as a media intern for the Palm Springs POWER (yes, all caps) in lovely Palm Springs, California. I’m SO excited, because this is the …

At the suggestion of Darin from Tangled Up in (Royal) Blue, I asked various Royals folks on Twitter to check on Brian Bannister, who is in Tokyo. I don’t know if it was because I asked, but Mike Swanson checked up on it. Bannister is fine. Big thanks to Swanee for checking. I hope any …

Inspired by this Lookout Landing post, and my previous adventures with the Swype keyboard system on my phone, here is what Swype suggests when I type in Royals players’ names. PITCHERS Arguelles             Artists Barerra                Careers Crow                     Crore (wtf?) Davies                  Favors Hochevar           Buckwheat (LOL) Jeffress                Here’s Mazzaro …

Things I learned while helping Jonah Keri with The Extra 2%

Categories:

Quickies

by

– Joe Maddon is great, one of the few truly quirky people in baseball*, but interviews with him are a nightmare to transcribe. He likes to start sentences and then sidetrack himself and then never return to the original thought. Whee! – OK, that’s really all I learned that won’t be better revealed in the …

Why do I never post anymore?

This blog has been stunningly empty lately, hasn’t it? I suppose it’s time to explain why – number 3 on this list is the most important, so you’re welcome to skip to that. #1) I’m in 21 hours of school, and only 3-6 of them aren’t insane. Hopefully I can finish all of them and …

Let’s talk about talking about Zack Greinke

Categories:

Trust The Process

by

Every day this week, and I think a few days last week, members of the Kansas City mainstream media have written about Zack Greinke. (Here’s today’s.) That would be perfectly acceptable if we had rewound ourselves and it was 2010 again. Zack Greinke played for the Royals a year ago. He does not now. So …
