Season ticket holder and Royal Blues reader Matt B. is a Royals season ticket holder. This year, he had an enviable vantage point for some of the Opening Day pre-game festivities. I invited him to share his experiences here… ___________________________________ Opening Day has always seemed more like a holiday to me than just the beginning …

People on Twitter have been making fun of Royals players who say “Y’know” for as long as people have been talking about the Royals on Twitter. This season, I’ll be keeping track of the player interviews on the Royals postgame show on FSKC so we can see quantifiably who the King of Y’Know really is. …

A while ago, I got an email from Rany Jazayerli. It was really vague and mysterious – it basically said, I need your help on a thing, but I won’t specify what that thing is until you assure me you can keep it a secret until the week of Opening Day. I agreed to help …

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.

I’ve met bloggers in real life before, but never experienced anything quite like this!

Or to stand around sipping beers and breaking down the swings of …

Nobody told Dayton Moore that a room full of bloggers would be interviewing him. He was already sitting down at our table before anyone told him what we were. We did not get many questions in – more on that in a moment – but I don’t think we asked him softballs. For example, Nick …

Tomorrow is the bloggy portion of the Royals FanFest. I’ve been gathering questions for the last week, but most of them are for Dayton Moore. So, I’ll put this out there: What do you want me to ask of Ned Yost, Jeff Francoeur and Billy Butler? I’ll gather questions until about 11:30 Thursday morning, when …

According to Mike Swanson, Gil Meche is announcing his retirement from baseball today. My computer time is limited right now, but I had these initial thoughts: 1) Daaaaaaamn. First and foremost, I’m bummed for the guy. I will always cherish Gil’s very first start in a Royals uniform, a 7.1 inning gem against Boston on …
