Still here, thawing out
Last night was yet another cold, rainy night for the Omaha Royals and their faithful fans. Five Royals players homered, but…Omaha still lost. It sucked. Overheard in the Omaha dugout: “Why are there still people here? Don’t they know it’s cold and raining out here?” Before that game, I tagged along to help with this …

O-Royals tidbits
We are already sixteen games into the season, and the Omaha Royals have a sweet 10-6 record that puts them atop the PCL North. Three of the losses have been at home, and three have been on the road, so it’s too early to tell if the team will repeat its drastic home/road split from …

BIG news for B&OT

Why would I …

The baseball gods HATE GI Johnny
Non-Husker fans, you may leave this post alone if you wish. But I really feel the need to vent (The kind with words, not the Coors kind). Nine innings. One run. That’s a damn good pitching outing, right? …not good enough for Johnny Dorn tonight, as the Huskers scored no runs against Oklahoma State. Boo. …

Guillen can play
Not only can Jose Guillen play baseball, he’s being allowed to as well.. Thank you, I’ll be here all week. I, like others before me, am pleased that he isn’t required to serve his suspension. Had he been accused of purchasing HGH by any means that could be held up in court, I would have …

Shiny metallic hats, wins for Bannister, piles of meat
Rain and cold aren’t the most ideal conditions for a baseball road trip, but my brothers, friends, and I are either really good fans or really stupid so we forged southward anyway for the Royals’ Home Opener. We also forgot how exactly to get to Gates BBQ (“HIMAYIHELPYOU”), but luckily we found it right before …
