Nobody told Dayton Moore that a room full of bloggers would be interviewing him. He was already sitting down at our table before anyone told him what we were. We did not get many questions in – more on that in a moment – but I don’t think we asked him softballs. For example, Nick …

Last call: Questions for FanFest
Tomorrow is the bloggy portion of the Royals FanFest. I’ve been gathering questions for the last week, but most of them are for Dayton Moore. So, I’ll put this out there: What do you want me to ask of Ned Yost, Jeff Francoeur and Billy Butler? I’ll gather questions until about 11:30 Thursday morning, when …

Digital Digest winner = Me!
I got a call this afternoon from Erin with the Royals. She said that, for soooome reason, I was one of the chosen bloggerpeople for the Digital Digest contest. So, yay! Now it’s time for a side-tangent! I haven’t written about this Digital Digest idea before, but I had mixed emotions on it. Craig at …

A Royal Blues year in review
This isn’t at all self-indulgent! It’s more like a roller coaster where I’m the only person having fun! JANUARY Thanks to the wonders of MS Paint, I predicted what Rick Ankiel would look like as a Royal. Friends and I went to the Royals Caravan in Lincoln, and told Ryan LeFebvre about the Ryan LeFebvre …

I hopped on to the Royals’ Facebook page before dinner, hoping to pick out a bunch of hilarious quotes from Royals fans who perhaps aren’t as attentive as you all. I figured they’d have some extremely mockable things to say about David DeJesus being traded. Remember how much fun it was to do that with …

Bottom 10: the Guillen edition (also…hi!)
A few days ago, I lamented the fact that Kansas City’s everyday lineup boasts two of the worst on-base guys in all of Major League Baseball. These two players, of course are Jose Guillen and Mike Jacobs. A third player in that Bottom 10 list, Jeff Francoeur, is someone for whom GM Dayton Moore has …

Bottom 10: The Royals and OBP
Leaderboards are fun…I could look at Top 10s all day. (Related side note: Top 10 of Everything is a book I’d buy every year if I could afford it. It’s fascinating stuff, and always random, which suits me well.) But I am a Royals fan, and Royals fans have no business hanging around Top 10s. …

How Swype handles the names on the Royals’ 40-man
Inspired by this Lookout Landing post, and my previous adventures with the Swype keyboard system on my phone, here is what Swype suggests when I type in Royals players’ names. PITCHERS Arguelles Artists Barerra Careers Crow Crore (wtf?) Davies Favors Hochevar Buckwheat (LOL) Jeffress Here’s Mazzaro …

Worst. Joke. EVER. (Yuniesky Betancourt is a Royal.)
Before facing a single pitch in Fenway tonight, the Royals have been the butt of jokes from all over the country. When I first got the word from Greg Schaum’s Twitter, I prayed it was a joke. No way the Royals would trade a top prospect for ANOTHER awful shortstop….right? Oh. No. They actually did. …
