This might be a little on the long side, but I’d prefer it if you’d think of it as as “epic” post. That sounds better. Due up: my weekend with an All-Star, the end of the best job ever, some O-Royals home highlights, and a return to normalcy. Mike Sweeney is my new best friend …

New best friend!
My new best friend is Mike Sweeney. More tomorrow, but Mr. Sweeney is the nicest man I’ve ever met. He invited my brothers and me to join him for Sunday Mass this morning. BEST. DAY. EVER. Labels: baseball, quickies, religion

Monsoon season?
Last night’s O-Royals game was rained out, which created a double-header tomorrow. Tonight’s game was also rained out, which created…we don’t know. A double-header Saturday as well? I asked a few players, but no one seemed to know if it’s possible to just cancel a game and never make it up. Mike Aviles gave the …

Guess I could not go without KC news
Oh for Pete’s sake. I try to take a break from baseball, but KC has to do something like this. This article contains a lot to consider for Royals fans. Chiefly, I suppose, I’m led to wonder how this new fellow, Jason Smith, will fit in the KC infield and in the lineup. Though he …

Good news, bad news
Good news: Kansas City won on my birthday, which usually doesn’t happen. Bad news: I was at work and missed it. How about that Billy Butler? Last night’s game is the game the KC front office is going to look to in the near future, when all the now-injured players are healthy and the decision …

I-70

Bad 8th inning, but good free Dr Pepper
So my hurt ankle — sprained two weeks ago tomorrow — is not healing quite as quickly as I had hoped. I went to a doctor yesterday, and he wasn’t the nicest person ever and I will not share those stories here, but he did recommend physical therapy. He also recommended that I start said …

Behold, indeed.
The subject of an e-mail my mom sent me this morning was “Behold!” The body of the e-mail read simply “…the power of RSTN!” On Wednesday I posted some research regarding the Royals’ performance when their games are televised. My cousin, who works for the Royals, sent that information to the VP of RSTN. His …

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, …

This is getting over LaRue
All I knew about pitcher Roman Colon when he was traded to the Royals this summer was that he had punched a teammate earlier in the season. That kind of first impression is hard to shake, I suppose, even after I had met Colon and found him not to be a constant face-puncher. He never …
