Raines caps off crazy 4-run, 9th-inning walkoff win for Omaha

When the Omaha Royals came up to bat in the bottom of the 9th, down 4-1 to the rival Iowa Cubs, I didn’t have 100% faith that they’d get the job done, even with the heart of the order due up. Maybe not even 90%. That’s what happens when “trusting the process” is your way …

No KC trades to analyze, so…

I find it both hilarious and sad that such a URL exists. [via Twitter]

UPDATED: No, really: Where is Kyle Farnsworth?

UPDATE: Hm, well this is SO much less fun than The Rookies’ ideas. Greg Schaum says, via Twitter: “Farnsworth is not being traded.he is joining the club in Tampa to get his regular work in. He is not being activated though” I couldn’t help but notice last night at the stadium that Kyle Farnsworth didn’t …

DiNardo wins, Kila close to O-Royals record for walks

This is Take Two of this entry – our lovely (read: Piece of *&!%* garbage) blogging software decided to completely erase everything I had written, and the photos I had inserted. At the Major League level, the Royals are awful at getting on base. They rank 3rd-to-last in all of the Majors in OBP, and …

Breaking News: Jordan Parraz to Omaha?

UPDATE: Parraz was, in fact, promoted today. Also, Stephen Randolph was released. The Royals have apparently promoted outfielder Jordan Parraz to Omaha from Northwest Arkansas, in order to fill the void left when Mitch Maier was recalled to the Majors.. Much like the Stephen Randolph thing from earlier, this hasn’t been confirmed online yet, and …

O-Royals notes: Stephen Randolph, rotation questions, etc.

A few notes from Rosenblatt last night: –Dusty Hughes made the start because scheduled starter Stephen Randolph‘s contract was apparently bought by a Japanese team. I haven’t had this confirmed, but it came from someone much closer to the team than I am. We’ll keep an eye on that. Randolph has made all of two …

TPJ becoming a pitcher: A Good Thing

Dustin Nippert* is currently dominating the Royals in the middle- and later innings, much to the relief of Texas starter Kevin Millwood, who was removed from the game early on. Despite that, and despite the three unearned runs KC coughed up in the top of the 7th – didn’t that missed popup bring back horrible …

Jose Guillen: ‘I suck,’ and ‘water is wet.’

Jose Guillen finally said something. I was beginning to get bored and listless without him saying anything divisive for the Royals’ lovely bloggers and radio people to pick apart and/or fight over. And he was mostly right, with his remarks to Bob Dutton that he sucks at baseball and makes an embarrassing sum of money. …

Thanks, and a photo update on my face

Before we dive into the depressing question of “Why is Kila Ka’aihue still an Omaha Royal?” I’d like to thank all of you for your concern and well-wishes after I got hit in the face by a Kyle Davies warmup pitch the other night. I’m mostly better, but the bruise is all kinds of lovely …

The one where I get smoked in the face by a pitch

(Alternate title: Oh hey, Erin Andrews and I have something in common!) After yet another long road trip – plus the All-Star Break – the Omaha Royals returned to Rosenblatt. It was Thirsty Thursday (where beers are $1 and there are plenty of them), and Kyle Davies was scheduled to pitch, so Omaha fans had …
