The Omaha Royals have slipped into last place in their division – they’re just 3.5 games out, but still. It makes me nervous to think that the team could slip at some point. And if they were going to slip, now would be the time they’d start; it may take a miracle to get the …

Help a family come to Omaha – they could use it
Is it weird that I haven’t blogged at all about the College World Series? It’s my town, and it’s often called “the center of the baseball universe” during this month. I haven’t been to any games yet, actually, but I’ve been working and more importantly, soaking up the CWS atmosphere while it’s still intact in …

Farewell, car
What follows has absolutely nothing to do with baseball. Sorry. When I left my house this morning, I was grumbling to myself about all the people who have door-dinged my car and not done anything about it. In fact, ALL of the people who have ever door-dinged me – at least one on all four …

Royals/White Sox photos from the weekend
UPDATE: Fixed the link for the Saturday photos. Oops. I don’t have time to blog about Ned Yost’s first weekend as the Royals’ new manager – we’ve got company coming so I have to get the house clean – but I wanted to share some photos I took over the weekend. Follow the links below …

So…that happened
I have thoughts about the game – OMG a win for Zack! – and Trey’s firing later. But for now, after a horrid week of cold, rainy weather, it is nice outside and I am going for a walk with my best friend. See you soon.

Admittedly, I didn’t like Josh Rupe’s chances of getting through Thome unharmed, but Rupe struck him out to end the Minnesota threat. …

Friday’s 18-inning marathon was a great look at Omaha ‘pen
Friday’s Omaha Royals game was 18 innings long, which is impressive in a lot of ways. It was impressive because it was 5 hours and 22 minutes long. All the fans who stayed in the stands on a chilly April night were impressive. But perhaps most impressive were the bullpens on both sides, who took …

ORoyals opening day thoughts
For seven months and five days or so, I’ve been looking forward to this day in Omaha. The O-Royals opener is almost as exciting for me as MLB Opening Day, which is obviously the best day of the year. There’s a lot to look forward to – reunions, new faces, and new challenges. A LOT …

Omaha Roster Updates
We’re only two days away from Opening Day in Omaha. Last week I tried to guess who would be taking the field Thursday night, but things happen in the Spring, so here are some updates. Jarrod Dyson: OUT. Lee Warren reported yesterday afternoon that Dyson would start the season on the DL with a lat …

Countdown timeout
Hey all,The Countdown to Opening Day – and pretty much everything else blog-related – is going to be on hiatus for a little while. Real-life stuff is happening, so I have to put some things on the back burner for a while. Until I’m back, keep looking for the elusive Kyle Farnsworth fan! I’m not …
