The Royals

[raquetcat]

Great comeback. On pace for 102 wins! 

If you look at the Kenpom, I think it is 111 wins.

Would take!

I like a lot of posters on goEMAW. However, I think _Fan and I would be real life best friends if we lived in the same town. His untuckish optimism is simply wonderful and I enjoy the hell out of that IRL. <not stalker related>

Was mowing my yard while listening to the end of the game. Fist pumped hard at the Butler double to tie it, then even more with Gordon's winner.

I had just gotten back to my house from getting gas for my mower and billy was coming up to bat and I guess I'm still in the old royals mindset so I quit listening and started mowing assuming they would lose. How do you listen while you mow _FAN?

the royals winning 17 of every 27 games is lots of fun, my whole afternoon and early evening were brightened today.  i hope they win 17 of 27 all season long.

[Cire]

Yeah.   Being good at baseball is fun.   They play all the time and its a long season.  And you can do other things during a game.   Perfect spectator sport

We're 1/6 of the way through the season. So far,  so good.

I love the KC Royals.

I have always loved them, through thick and thin.

Starting to get frustrated with attendance. You should get more than 20k for weekend games.

Me too bones. Me too. They were my first love. I wore a Royals footie pajamas as an infant. I went to the '85 victory parade and got real cranky and made boom boom in my stroller. Went to every opening day from 91-01 and several more since. I love those goofy bastards.

Weather has been shitty most of this season, hopefully attendance picks up when the weather improves a bit.

i stopped for a few seasons because i was so frustrated.  prior to the beginning of this season, i saw the error of my ways, and like the prodigal son, i've returned home.

 The mornings are easier to wake up to when I know the Royals are contending. I get the feeling this summer is going to be special.

At Bat App on my phone with ear buds, riding mower.

I was pissed at Gordon for having a really shitty game....and he totally redeemed himself!  These guys are fun to watch.  Oh, and Guthrie's impression of Hud is fantastic!  These guys are winning my heart.   

about 1:50 in is the Hud impression.

Really want today for JS. Get him above .500 for the year, and get revenge for opening day.

[CHONGS]

Someone needs to check the Royals for PEDs.  They all look like a bunch of smelly roiders.

[steve dave]

ROYALS!

[WildcatNkilt]

90% chance of rain in Baltimore tomorrow.        

[CHONGS]

ROYALS!

more like royLOLs: champs of April! 

The Chi Sox are likely the only clean team in the league.  If we didn't have a string of unlucky injuries we would be right there!

I was born in 86 and I never realized how big the Royals were in KC back in the 70's and 80's. It wasn't until my gpa passed away and my great aunt moved to a retirement home and passed on all their royals memoribilia to me and I was blown away by all the random crap they had.

My great aunt was a secretary for some big shot at KC Life and would get invited to parties with the K's from time to time, Mrs. K gave her a silver platter with the KC Royals crest ingraved in the middle that is super cool.

Here is a quick breakdown of the other stuff I recieved

-85 World champs windbreaker(Already mentioned)

- About 20 Different button's, some have to do with I-70 series, others just say random Go Royals stuff

-Ticket stubs from playoffs and WS

- A couple baseballs autographed by random royals teams and one autographed by the 1977 yankee's(Checked the value online and its worth like $800  )

- Cook Books featuring the favorite recipes of the wives of royals players and managers(Autographed by the wives )

- Shoeboxes full of newspaper clippings and magazine's with the royals on the cover. I framed a couple of the WS Champion editions and have given away 2-3 other framed WS Championship Newspapers as gifts at weddings and birthday parties.

- A framed chunk of astroturf from the 80's and early 90's.

- A huge felt baseball poster that says "Bo Knows"

- All the opening day team magazine/programs from about 77-93

- A couple of trinkets from the first game at the K and the first all star game at the K.

-Commemorative beer steins from each division title/AL Pennant/World Series
