KC wins again

I'm almost postitive that after the game tonight Brandon will have a post about the Red Sox and Yankees. (BTW at the time I wrote this post, the Red Sox were spanking the Yankees 4-0)

But right now I just wanted to pat those Kansas City Royals on the back. Yes, they are my favorite team, but my oh my.

How about Zack Greinke? He won his sixth game of the season, improving to 6-0 with an ERA of 0.40. Wowza.

In the win he became the first pitcher to win six games this season and the Royal improved to 15-11 on the season with the 3-0 win over the Chicago White Sox.

While on the mound, Greinke didn't walk a batter and struck out 10. Greinke also became only the third pitcher in frachise history to win his first six games. Brett Saberhagen (1987) and Jose Lima (2003) are the other two.

This is the Kansas City Royals 40th season and what a way to start!

Sure looks like I picked a good time to be a fan. But remember, this is the Kansas City Royals. So I won't get too excited as a fan just yet.

Epic Photo: Casey's KC hat

It finally came in the mail. Yes, my Kansas City hat arrived and now I can support my new favorite team in real style.

Just take a look at the picture.

Go Royals!

Casey a KC fan

Today was talking baseball with Jeff and I decided something. That today I would become a Kansas City Royals fan. Why? Well, there are a number of reasons. Here we go.

Nobody likes them- Seriously, have you ever met a Royals fan? I have met only one in my lifetime and it was at a Cheesecake Factory in Kansas City last summer. I had to go to the city the team is from to find a fan.

Their name is my name- Ok, so the initials really are. KC. Not quite mine, but said the same.

They always stink- I've been around for 24 years now and I never remember them being even close to decent.

Someday they might be good- And when they are, I can say, I was a fan when they were terrible. A true fan. And yes, someday they will be good. Heck, look at the Mariners. They have tons of fans in that same boat.

Their stadium is cool- It's a very pretty ballpark. Kauffman Stadium's unique features include a 322-foot-wide water spectacular. The water spectacular is the largest privately funded fountain in the world. Here's the full history of the park.

If the Rays did it- Then why couldn't the Royals? From joke to champs. I see it happening. And now I can say I was a fan from when they stunk.

A trip to KC

This past weekend I decided to take a trip to Kansas City. Yes, Kansas City. The city home to the worst sports teams in the nation. The last place Royals in MLB, the last place Wizards in MLS and the last place Brigade in AFL.

But despite this I went anyway.

The trip started with heading down I-29 into Iowa. Coming to the border some lady in a booth made me pay $1 to enter the state. On the return trip she charged me $10 to leave. Yeah, got to love the midwest.

But the trip was great. I saw the world's largest shuttlecocks at the Kansas City Sculpture Park.



Some headless dudes in the park.





And a huge waterpark called Oceans of Fun. It was a great weekend in a city that is TERRIBLE at sports.

(yes, the Royals lost while we were in town)

So, coming back to Omaha we decided to catch some real baseball as the College World Series was going on. The game last night was great! Fresno State beat North Carolina 6-1 and made it look easy. I guess we now will see which of the Bulldogs (Georgia or FS) can get it done in the end.
