So here’s the thing. My life — nearly every aspect of it — revolves around sports. I guess that’s a good thing, given that I want to write/talk about sports as a career someday. However, it does create some problems. For example, what am I to do when 5:00 rolls around this afternoon? I’ll certainly …

CONGRATULATIONS, GRUD!!
Finally. Mark Grudzielanek has won a Gold Glove!!! Grud is one of my favorite Royals of the last 10 years. I love how hard he plays, and I love how you can watch him and know that he loves baseball. He doesn’t complain about anything, ever, except the occasional knock on announcers for misprouncing his …

Golf, rather than baseball
If this blog is to be about ‘Baseball & Other Things,’ this is one of the other things. I miss golf. In high school, I played varsity golf all four years. That meant spending every glorious fall day on the driving range, the putting greens, or playing a quick 9 before heading off to work. …

Drawing a bit of a blank
Heh. When I used the blogging feature at MySpace, whenever I’d sit down to write, I’d only be able to think of baseball. I felt kind of bad, knowing that of my MySpace friends, only a few actually cared about baseball. Now that I have a place to write mostly about the sport, I can’t …

Barry B*nds
This is another one I wrote for a journalism class. I don’t know what kind of grade I got it, because I don’t have to turn it in for another hour and half. Anywho, here it is: ****EDIT: I got a 95%. The only things for which points were taken off were nitpicky grammatical errors, …

Enjoy! ________________________________________________________ Where has all the defense gone? by Minda Haas ESPN is and always will be the number one source for all things related to sports. They have cemented themselves in the annals …

A short Royals note
From Sept. 25 __________________________________________________________________ This is the most singularly awesome column I’ve read all season. In this moment, in the afterglow of reading this, I’m more excited for 2007 than I’ve ever been. Screw the winter; it needs to be April ’07 right now.

Still a believer!
Originally posted Sept. 21, from the depths of Royals despair. ___________________________________________________________________ This is just getting to be too much. God really really really hates them, and I don’t know why. So, today in class as I dreaded going out in the freezing pouring rain, I wrote this. OF Reggie Sanders 1B Doug Mientkiewicz 3B Mark …

Something for everyone, and why I hate sorority chicks
From Sept. 18, 2006. __________________________________________________________________ Random musings for the week: College football. I’ll keep this short, though I could go on for hours. A lot of crazy awesome stuff happened on the college football stage this past weekend. I always love seeing Oklahoma lose, so the Ducks’ wild comeback and finish was fantastic to see. …

God. HATES. The Royals.
From September 8, 2006 on my MySpace blog. ___________________________________________________________________ Mark Teahen’s season is over. He needs shoulder surgery My thoughts: 1. I guess I’m glad he didn’t wait. That would cut into next season, which would be dangerous for the team (Next season will be a huge turnaround, by the way). They defnitely need him …
