Not only can Jose Guillen play baseball, he’s being allowed to as well.. Thank you, I’ll be here all week. I, like others before me, am pleased that he isn’t required to serve his suspension. Had he been accused of purchasing HGH by any means that could be held up in court, I would have …

This and that
There goes another piece of my childhood… This KC Star article got buried pretty quickly and quietly, but it’s worth mention. I grew up listening to Fred and Denny, and was distraught when the team fired White in 1998. When Ryan LeFebvre made his way into the daily Royals broadcasts, I hated him. He wasn’t …

Behold! A ton of links!
Spring Training, in case you hadn’t noticed, is most certainly upon us. Predictably, many of the royals.com stories that are coming out from Surprise each day are pretty fluffy; the usual insistence that each player is in the best shape of his life, some hefty optimism from various coaches and players, and so forth. Usually …

A few quick things
This drama occurred between my new-to-me (aka used) laptop and I this afternoon. The laptop does not have internet access yet, and I finally got the wireless adapter card that would, in theory, allowed me to get online.

It was overwhelmingly awesome, and now that I’m home, I am overwhelmed by the task of catching up on the stuff I missed while I was gone. The Royals made a couple of moves, JoePo wrote approximately 7 million words (including …

There’s only one…
Well, my heart is a little heavy after the Royals’ season ended in a loss to Cleveland, so I’d like to lighten the mood with a joke: The New York Mets walk into a bar. They are free to go out and do as they please now, because they are not in the post season. …

Dreading a possible farewell
I touched on this idea in my earlier post, but Michael John Sweeney deserves his own post right now. I’m honestly a bit teary-eyed at the prospect of one of my all-time Royals heroes reaching the end of his Kansas City baseball career. I do not want to see him in any other uniform, and …

Football, football everywhere
For the first time in a while, I missed a Nebraska football home game. Instead, I spent some time in Omaha, spreading the joy of Maverick Mojo towels and hanging out with various pals. Nebraska beat Iowa State, and thank God for that, because if they had a repeat of last week’s game I would …

The difference between a close game and a good game
Nebraska – 41 Ball State – 40 My Husker player of the game: Sean Hill Right after I complained to my neighbor about how Nebraska has not made many big plays this year, Hill came through with a pretty big catch for a ton of yards and a TD. I suppose I figured that Maurice …
