At work for now.
Vandy-Northwestern game later. I know what you’re thinking: that’ll be one hell of a game.

beat ILL. I officially have bragging right in my house over the inlaws until basketball season.

Thanks for beating those morons
I generally root for all Big Ten teams in nonconference games, but OSU and Illinois will never garner my support unless the credibility of the whole conference is on the line. And both my parents went to Mizzou, so I inherited a loyalty to the Tigers.

At Least Kila
Is back. I guess I don’t mind Fields getting some run, as long as they’re not just handing 3B to him. I’d like to see Gogo try SS; he’d be an acceptable bench player if he could handle it.

I believe that is right.
It’s so exciting to not have Kendall there. I’m really pretty pissed at him for playing so much when he was legitimately injured. That iron man routine is goofy enough most of the time, but when you’re injured AND playing like shit? No mercy.
You didn't read
The Kendall Conspiracy then, did you? It’s all in there :)

As JoPo says, “Well, it could work, I guess.” I need to get that on a t-shirt.
Except if I’m gonna make myself a Royals t-shirt, I think Retire 29 would be my first choice. Either way, I’ll probably just sit here wasting more of my life on the interwebs and not even getting my laundry done.

Ever notice how the Royals seem to give up HRs to guys who have single digit homers on the season?
Even in September? We’re giving up dingers to guys who usually get on base via speed.

These Out Thingies
When can we have some of those? Oh, now!
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
Catcher Jason Kendall, who had shoulder surgery on Friday in Los Angeles, talked to Royals manager Ned Yost by phone afterward.
What did he have to say?
“You can’t print it,” Yost said. “He’s still a little testy, but he’s doing fine.”
Testy, no doubt, because the “wanna-play-every-day” Kendall is expected to be out for eight to 12 months.

The pass balls is a concern
But who knows. First game, hard to judge. And while it’s kind of infuriating to lose a game that way, keep repeating that joyous mantra. Kendall is gone for the year. Kendall is gone for the year. Repeat as necessary.
It sucks to lose games like this night after night, but we have gotten a lot that we’ve wished for. A lot of baggage was dropped and we’re getting a look at the kids. Even if they’re not piling up the W’s, things look at least fresher for the future.

I am at the South Dakota State Fair. You are on the internet. The Tigers are in Kansas City.
And I was at the KU “football” game. To be honest, I’m not sure what game the Jayhawks were playing, but trust me, they made the Royals look good. Gawd, what an awful game.

When word came out that Gill prohibited the team from cussing
That was a bad bad sign. You have to be borderline crazy to play football at a high level, the last thing you need to worry about is what comes out of the players mouths during football practice/games. In fact, you probably should be cussing when you are trying to take someone’s head off, while someone is trying to do the same to you.
I think the Royals could beat the Jayhawks in football.
