Documentary on the Kansas City Athletics that is in the works. Who bets Retro is already looking for start times or making sure his local PBS station picks it up?

Here is a link to the documentary's website.

And the winner of Major League Baseball Manager Idol is... TREY HILLMAN! This YouTube video is from November 25, 2007 as the manager of your Royals actually SANG, and boy, did he do well! As all of you in Royals Nation know, he turned a Kansas City Royals-like team, the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters into a Japanese League powerhouse. And in Trey's last game with the Fighters, he actually sang. Listen! Haven't heard Joe Torre sing... Joe Girardi, can you sing like Britney Spears? Hey, Terry Francona! Can you do a duet with Lady GaGa? How about you, Ozzie Guillen, will you audition for American Idol next year? You gotta see it to believe it. I demand a singing competition between Gardenhire, Wedge, Leyland, Guillen and Hillman to see who is the best singer in the A.L. Central. Then he'll go up against Scioscia, Girardi and Francona in the A.L. Skipper Singoff, and maybe challenge LaRussa or Torre or Piniella in the finals. Trey Hillman really is a good singer, but not like KC's own David Cook, though. Gotta love Hillman for one thing, he can really sing!

I guess I a am filling my daughter's life with a lot of shame by making her a Royal's fan.

Am I the only one that missed this? Apparently it aired during the AS Game and has had subsequent airings on MLB tv...

I stumbled across this on the internets last night and just thought it was sadly hilarious. It should be (if it embeds) a video of one of KC's "finest" draft choices of the past decade. You can probably figure out who it is......but with our next few games against Pittsburgh (and their great draft history in the same hideous timeframe), it seems somewhat appropriate.

Thanks to the brilliance of averagegatsby and Rick Reilly, I also nominate this to be Royals Review's theme song. The reasons are infinite, but the most obvious should be that if you don't like this song, you may have to be punted off a bridge ala Baxter in Anchorman. And if this isn't your thing, then click this for something completely different.

The Cougar: From TV Land

and this is what Mellinger wants us to think of when we think of going to a ballgame.

Clearly this is the video that the Royals need to watch in order to get back on a roll.

OT: No words describe the awesomeness of this lampoon video
