The subject of an e-mail my mom sent me this morning was “Behold!” The body of the e-mail read simply “…the power of RSTN!” On Wednesday I posted some research regarding the Royals’ performance when their games are televised. My cousin, who works for the Royals, sent that information to the VP of RSTN. His …

Here we go again…
The other day I posted a quote from John Buck regarding the team’s attitude: “Rather than here were go again, it was now we are going to get the job done.” I loved the quote, and I loved that the Royals were taking a more ballsy approach to situations where they had fallen behind in …

Locusts, frogs, boils, famine, darkness…
The good news about being injured is that I can stay home and keep better track of the Royals. The bad news is, I have to be at home to hear all the excruciating details. Let’s take a peek at the key phrases in the royals.com headlines from the last few games: Denied Lopsided defeat …

Who put that crab there??
At about 2:30 in this video — a clip from the fine movie Hot Shots! — is what I wish I had been clever enough to say when I took a tumble off the dugout at work last night. Instead, I think it was more of an, “Ouch, that sucked. Ouch. Uhhh…paramedics, maybe?” Allow me …

Uh-oh
I mentioned the other day that if Mike Wood pitched against Omaha this week, it would be hard to root against him. Guess who is slated to pitch for Oklahoma tonight! (Hint: It is in fact Mike Wood.) -I’m bummed that I missed last night’s KC game. It’s great to see the team able to …

Ch-ch-ch-changes!
-My beloved roommate Steph moved out today, leaving the house frightfully devoid of furniture. It went from being a full, tastefully decorated space to a total bachelor pad in the space of one morning. I added the final bachelor-esque touch tonight when I stuck a George Brett poster up on an otherwise empty wall. But …

Woohoo!
-I got to “have a catch” with two of my brothers and with my dad tonight. This was incredible for several reasons: 1) I can throw a baseball (a bit, though my freshly operated-on shoulder will be sore later) 2) My dad must be recovering miraculously from his ankle surgery to have been able to …

My Hall of Fame
I’ve created a new post label, called “Featured Posts” — a label kind of stolen from my brother. I was going to call it “Hall of Fame,” but I thought that might be a misleading suggestion that the posts with that label were about Cooperstown rather than what it actually is: some of my favorite/best …

The Chronicles of Berroa
I didn’t intend for this to turn into the Official Blog About Nothing But Angel Berroa. But it’s about to get a whole lot more boring in the O-Royals dugout, as Berroa has been called back up to KC. I’m happy for him, and I truly hope he does well. He’s been playing all over …

Ouch, yay, and autographs
– Surely there was more to the conversation that produced this quote from Royals manager Buddy Bell: “He just can’t throw.” Bell was speaking about Luke Hudson, who was activated from the DL and pitched only one game — a disasterous two-inning outing against Oakland a few days ago. Regardless of the context, that’s a …
