Part One covered January through April. Let’s move right along to May and beyond! May I caught one Storm Chasers game as a regular fan before leaving on the Epic Road Trip Adventure. (Here’s a snippet of that travelogue…I should really get around to sharing more, right?) Photos from the road trip are here. I …

Why? Because PICTURES! Your September callups: Farewell to Kila, who was DFA’d to make roster space for Herrera. No way he comes back to the organization at this point – much more on him later, because there’s this thought that he “gave up” after his last demotion and I really want to look into that. …

Hitters Lorenzo Cain Cain has hit in every postseason game, including FIVE hits on Friday night, and has continued to play defense like a gazelle.* His hits include two doubles and a triple. *I wish I could remember who described Cain’s defense like that to me after he joined the Royals. “A [gosh darn] gazelle” …

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 …

When the Omaha Royals came up to bat in the bottom of the 9th, down 4-1 to the rival Iowa Cubs, I didn’t have 100% faith that they’d get the job done, even with the heart of the order due up. Maybe not even 90%. That’s what happens when “trusting the process” is your way …

This is Take Two of this entry – our lovely (read: Piece of *&!%* garbage) blogging software decided to completely erase everything I had written, and the photos I had inserted. At the Major League level, the Royals are awful at getting on base. They rank 3rd-to-last in all of the Majors in OBP, and …

Don’t get me wrong here – I love the College World Series. “Back Home in Omaha,” all the cheesy video montages ESPN shows of Series past and scenes from around town, the dogpile at the end. I love all of it. BUT. For all three seasons I’ve worked for the O-Royals, I’ve ended missing them …
