Just a quick note, as I have to be at Rosenblatt pretty soon — Spiderman is there today signing autographs for the wee ones, which will require extra staff a little earlier than usual. Anyway, on to the topic at hand: High hopes. Scott Elarton is scheduled to start for KC tonight against Mark Buehrle. …

The designated hitter
-My parents have been married for nearly 30 years, a phenomenal fact for which I thank God every day. They absolutely do not fight, ever. “Okay,” I can see you asking. “That’s great, but what does your parents’ long and fightless marriage have to do with the designated hitter?” Oh darlings, it has everything to …

I must be dreaming
Surely these words were not actually written about a Royals pitcher: In addition to ranking among the best starting pitchers in the Major Leagues, [Gil] Meche has outpitched every big-name pitcher who signed a big offseason contract, including Daisuke Matsuzaka, Andy Pettitte, Jason Schmidt, Ted Lilly and Barry Zito. Source Normally on an off-day, I’d …

Billy Butler, O-Royals notes, etc.
So Billy Butler has been called up. I didn’t see the game, so I didn’t see how he did on defense, but my guess is he was…slow. I’m sure he’s a nice kid and all that, blah blah, but the inescapable fact is that the brother can not run. Don’t get me wrong: Of course …

Gil Meche is the new Zack Greinke
This is sounding all too familiar: It was his [Gil Meche‘s] third quality start in a row, but the right-hander didn’t get a win in any of the starts. Didn’t we go through the same thing with Zack Greinke? Come on, bullpen; let’s not waste another quality pitcher! Granted, Buehrle was coming off the no-no, …

Woo!
I didn’t jinx anything in my previous post; the Royals won 3-1 in a well-pitched game. Yay! I win a nickel! Labels: baseball, quickies, random, Royals

Tidbits
I love it when a major league pitcher throws a no-hitter. It’s the only time I’m assured that I’m not the only person who cares about something other than home runs (Pardon my being so slow to jump on that game, but I’ve been kind of busy this week!) So I’ve survived my first homestand …

Prayers for Va. Tech, and Royals stuffs
My apologies for the lack of posts!! It’s ironic, in a way: since I got a job in the Royals’ organization, it’s been harder for me to follow the Royals. On Friday, I started my fabulous new job with the Omaha Royals. My duties as a member of the Powerade Power Team are basically to …

Objects in mirror are more in need of a closer than they appear
Hmm. I can’t really comment much on last night’s game at Baltimore, because I only saw the 10th inning. The only thought I can glean from that inning is this: WE NEED A CLOSER!!! I will also miss tonight’s KC game, because tonight is the Omaha Royals‘ first home game, and so it is my …

One week down, a million to go
Happy 1-week anniversary to the 2007 MLB season! (Well, except for the Cards and Mets, to whom I say, “Sorry I forgot your anniversary. Better luck next year.”) My thoughts: This string of relative successes for Royals starting pitchers…is it all too good to be true? Royals starters have thrown four quality starts so far, …
