I’m not at Rosenblatt right now. I should be. But even watching on TV is fun…hearing replays of sportscasters proudly proclaiming their team is Omaha-bound makes me proud to be here. When ESPN2 shows shots of Rosenblatt Stadium, they call it the holy grail of college baseball. I call it my workplace. Life is good. …

Grud’s knee woes and more
–Mark Grudzielanek‘s meniscus is torn. Did I not call this? (towards end of post) What was the merit in his being in the Opening Day lineup? Wouldn’t it be better for the team to have him 100% healthy now instead? Grud’s a stubborn guy; we all know that. That’s what makes him as good as …

Psychic infielders
Earlier tonight, I referred to freshly-promoted infielder Fernando Cortez as “reliable.” What I forgot to mention was that in his last game for Omaha, he was 5-5. Apparently, he is also a soothsayer. This I like: “Maybe we should get him to say we’ll be in a World Series,” Gathright said. Aside from Perez, tonight’s …

I-70
-This is the series that always does it for me. Oh, how I love it when the Royals play St. Louis! Shame on me for not writing about last night’s game sooner. Last night…man, what a game. That is how a Royals fan should get to feel about a game. I love Brian Bannister; I’m …

VERY briefly
– How about that Justin Huber? Pretty fantastic game all around (box), but I forgot my sunscreen so I’m hurting. – Sadly, seeing the O-Royals meant missing the KC Royals beating the poo out of Jamie Moyer and company. It’s not often that I laugh out loud when reading a wrap from a game, but …

This is RIDICULOUS
Gil Meche has received only two runs of support in his last six starts. What the heck, guys? Some bats please? Didn’t I already scold you guys for this once before? Of the three hits KC scraped up tonight, I’m glad one belonged to David DeJesus. I’m a huge DeJesus fan, and it hurts to …

The O-Royals fared a little better than KC
Tonight brought perfect weather for taking in a baseball game, and the great weather, combined with the facts that school is out and it was dollar beer night, brought an unusually large crowd to Rosenblatt Stadium. The O-Royals were returning home from an 8-game road trip in which they were 4-4. This home series, a …

Bad 8th inning, but good free Dr Pepper
So my hurt ankle — sprained two weeks ago tomorrow — is not healing quite as quickly as I had hoped. I went to a doctor yesterday, and he wasn’t the nicest person ever and I will not share those stories here, but he did recommend physical therapy. He also recommended that I start said …

Random round-up
– I’m not sure whether it’s worth my time to write about Alex Rodriguez right now. I can’t stand the man, and according to a Sports Illustrated Poll of MLB players, neither can many big leaguers. Anyway, I was thinking about his little yelling fiasco…things like this make it easy for me to dislike him …
