Happy birthday to me! I like to think that David DeJesus‘ awesome performance in last night’s extrra-inning win was like a birthday present (one day early) for me. He had three hits, a homer and two doubles, and scored all three Royals runs. (By the way, you can check out video highlights from the game …

I didn’t do it!
– I know I’m not the reason the Royals lost. I considered posting about how tonight’s game against the White Sox was huge because if KC won, they’d be out of the AL Central basement. Then I realized that saying we had a glimmer of hope was the biggest way to kill that hope. Like …

A bunch of stuffs
A winning month, praise the Lord! In July 2003, things were pretty good for Royals fans. We had a manager who had ignited a fire under the players and fans alike. Sportswriters had, at least for the moment, quit making fun of our team at every opportunity. There were plenty of reasons to hold hope. …

RSTN, part II
About a month ago, I posted some findings regarding whether Kansas City played better when they were on TV than they did when they were not televised.

A little look back
Last year: On May 20, I wrote about how the Royals had lost Game 3 of every single series in which they had lost the first two. That post was on my MySpace blog, and I didn’t transfer it to this one. The Royals have a really bad attitude. Well, at least, that’s how it …

Cortez watch
In Fernando Cortez‘ last game with Omaha, he went 5 for 5. Tonight, in his first two KC plate appearances, he’s 2 for 2. That would give him 7 hits in his last 7 plate appearances. But wait, there’s more: In his 2nd-to-last Omaha game, he only had one hit, but it was in his …
