No Royals game tonight, so here’s a thing about the time I broke my face on a floor. The story is totally true, by the way. From somewhere in my hard drive: A Face Smashing What can a girl learn from breaking her face on a floor? It all started fairly innocently. I didn’t think …

By the way…
Last night’s Kansas City win was Win #40 on the season. So I set out to find out how long it took to get to 40 last year. I had forgotten (or repressed? Yeah, probably repressed.) how atrocious the first half and the beginning of the 2nd half were last year. Are you ready for …

BYAH!!!
Omaha came from behind in the 9th inning to beat the Isotopes 6-5. Omaha’s three runs came when Richard Lewis lofted a homer with one out, bringing home Craig Brazell and Paul Phillips, who had both singled. CLUTCH. Kansas City won pretty handily, too. ‘Tis a good day to be me! (Or, ya know, any …

Best. Dog. EVER.
Lately my roommates’ cats have been causing me a lot of grief, so I went home over the weekend so I could be around my dogs instead. The two dogs my parents have now are seriously awesome. And completely adorable: Anyway, the point is that I love having pets, and I hate being without them. …

Whoopsie!
Today on my way back to Omaha, I got pulled over. Only once has that happened to me before, and that time it was for an “improper left turn.” Today it was for speeding. Oops. The All-Star Game is happening right now, and I could not be more bored. I hate the All-Star Break. For …

Independence Day in KC
How lame of me to not write about my Independence day in KC sooner. We went for two things, the game and the fireworks. Both were pretty much lacking. KC got shut out, and the fireworks were cancelled due to afternoon rains. The trip wasn’t all bad. Here are some small positives: 1) Our seats …

Good news, bad news
Good news: Kansas City won on my birthday, which usually doesn’t happen. Bad news: I was at work and missed it. How about that Billy Butler? Last night’s game is the game the KC front office is going to look to in the near future, when all the now-injured players are healthy and the decision …
