For posterity

The Omaha Royals are in first place…but this division could not be any tighter.(This may change after the night’s games wrap up, but I wanted to capture this glorious moment of either parity or mediocrity – however you want to view it – for posterity.)

Farewell, car

What follows has absolutely nothing to do with baseball. Sorry. When I left my house this morning, I was grumbling to myself about all the people who have door-dinged my car and not done anything about it. In fact, ALL of the people who have ever door-dinged me – at least one on all four …

Vote Quimby — err, Omaha in the AAA All-Star Game!

A commenter reminded me that voting is going on for the AAA All-Star team. As you probably know, he O-Royals are doing pretty well; if they win their series against Nashville this weekend, they’ll move into first place. And the roster boasts quite a few players that you could vote for without feeling TOO foolish. …

UPDATE: Philip Humber hit in face by line drive

UPDATE: On the Omaha Royals Facebook page, the following update was left this afternoon: “Philip received stitches in a few places and was in an extreme amount of pain, but came through and handled himself incredibly. He will make a full recovery.” Hooray!**********I recently started working in the gift shop on my days off from …

Jordan Parraz and the importance of the first pitch

I’ll start with a cute story, because I can. Sunday before the O-Royals took the field against the Salt Lake Bees, I sat near the Omaha dugout and got the camera ready for the game. Next to me was a little girl, maybe 5 years old, collecting Royals autographs. As each new player came toward …

Photos of the Day: Omaha Royals v. Salt Lake Bees

At the last minute, I decided to skip out on watching Zack Greinke take on the Rockies, and went to Rosenblatt instead. It was the series finale between the ORoyals and the Salt Lake Bees (Angels). It ended up being a delightful pitchers’ duel, which Omaha won 2-1. It was a muggy day in Omaha, …

Royals/White Sox photos from the weekend

UPDATE: Fixed the link for the Saturday photos. Oops. I don’t have time to blog about Ned Yost’s first weekend as the Royals’ new manager – we’ve got company coming so I have to get the house clean – but I wanted to share some photos I took over the weekend. Follow the links below …

Big day: Greinke wins and Hillman’s fired

Sometimes Zack Greinke pitches brilliantly and loses. Sometimes Zack Greinke pitches brilliantly and wins (but not this year). This was neither of those days, and Greinke won. Those eight strikeouts were excellent, but Greinke was hardly in his finest form today. He threw too many pitches, and he walked a few guys, and he had …
