did not suck either!
Man, I think Inge is a midget.
Normally if I pick a Royals outing, that is when they lose. They can take a series but the one game I attend will be a loss. But not this Sunday. Gorgeous day and with some good bats and terrible defensive play by Dets, we steal one and I get to see a W. I think the only thing I can say for the Royals is thanks for yet another year of way too much beer and disappointment. Soon enough, it will be over right?
So, finally after missing my first opening day in 10 years, and just being too busy for my own good, I made it out to the K. Perfect day and weather. Normal tailgating, beer drinking fun was had. It was such a great day I am not even gonna bitch about our awful pitching.
Sun burnt ears, what I cant hear you over the awesomeness of my boot full of beer!
I think there are some nuts in there....you see any nuts??
Beautiful day at the K!
See that thing up there called the Party Deck. They like me up there.
Today up, Detroit. Let's go Hoch. .333 is a good batting average, a winning percentage not so much Royals. Let's get it together boys.
OUR BULLPEN SUCKS!
(this is the part where everyone acts surprised!!)
Banny looked good...but this guy....THIS GUY....ugh.
And that's all I got to say about that. Damn bullpen, ya make me sick.
I am taking a deep breath and posting THIS for you today. We can't keep talent due to money, and can't grow talent without turning them into headcases. STAY on your MEDS, Greinke!
I can't say I am looking forward to this year for baseball, and that is a sad thing for me to say. Gordon can't stay on the field, our lineup is completely going to change and who the hell knows what the fuck Meche is got going on. Big sigh. Oh to be a Royals fan.
Few more weeks till Draft. Ready to see what OT we pick up so maybe we can formulate some kind of line for the million dollar clipboard man to stand behind. Looks like Chambers will be back in red next year and that makes me happy. Here's to hoping Bowe gets his act together as well. Honestly in my opinion, this is a very talent rich draft. Let's hope we get someone who can contribute right away and can continue to grow as a team. On a draft note, I took a sample Wonderlick test just for the shit of it the other day. Suck my ass Tim Tebow, I scored higher than you. Where is your Jesus now?
KA-BLAM, it is the sound of brackets busting all over the country.
I won't be one of "those" fans. KU played a terrible game, couldn't get it together and Collins was awful. Coaching was not good. And that is all I got to say about that. So, uh....GO BIG 12.
Re-runs of Stump the Schwab have been on in the morning, and I have been watching them and remembering how much I loved that show. I wish they would do a "vagina version" and I think I could do really good. NHL always fucks with me and any coaching stuff, but I can clean up on me some football and baseball. Also I always have to check the air dates. Otherwise I am screaming out answers that would fit the questions other than they have not occurred yet. I rock. Plus, got much love for Schwabbie, he might be the only guy who has a more extensive jersey collection than myself.
Need to get my butt in gear and set up mobile blogging again from the new Crackberry. Lupe is getting an out of state pass for Omaha Bullshooters dart tourney this weekend, and am sure there will be some debauchery to blog aboooout.
Still owe you a Royals rundown. Some day I will get my ass in gear, but today is not that day. Blah blah...more basketball...woohooo go Baylor and KSU....(can you tell my heart is not in it).
HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY. May the green beer flow like water for you, and hopefully your poopies won't be too discolored tomorrow!
Yeah, here it is in Spring Training already and I have been not blogging. Someone needs to put their foot square up my ass. Terrible is I went back to past posts to figure out where to pick up, and I think I can pretty much just call it good to start fresh. Royals rundown to follow soon I promise!
March Madness is in full swing, and after collecting all the brackets for my office pool, it seems like the masses think my hawks got a good look at another championship. Def wouldn't hurt my feelings any!!
Oh...Lupe and Whore, boobing it up for you. Some day she will learn what team to cheer for!
and THE UGLY....
I am still shaking my head at why we do this to ourselves. THIS as in sign old guys who are not proven producers. No more time wasting on this, but here is a good link. Shaking my head...ugh.
Pitchers and catchers have reported. I think maybe it s the god damn weather that just has made me not get in spirit yet, but I will get there! T-13 days till first Spring training game. I got a bit to get in gear.
As you might..or probably not noticed, I don't think I have posted since oh...Novemberish? Yeah, I deserve a swift kick to the ass. Line forms to the left, guys.
Yeah...we tend to agree, and so does everyone else, pretty much by a landslide!!
I am way happy for Mr. Greinke...so, with that said, enjoy some images and a link to the story of his hot girlfriend, HERE.
SN AL Pitcher of the Year....which loosely translates into he should be the CY. All you need to know HERE.
Way to go Z!!
sad Chiefs fan, for Coach Screamy McScreamerson is here to save us. Okay, so we won't go that far, but shit...at least his arms came uncrossed for the end of the game.
Chiefs with the W. I like with the safety on the end it almost looks like we scored 2TD's instead of depending on Succup for all our scores. I wonder how many asses got chewed for dumping the water cooler on him. There is really not a lot to say about the game, it was kinda like watching two kids play Rock'em Sock'em Robots. It wasn't a great win, but could be monumental for us...gives us something to be happy about at least.
Although, he should be in a jolly mood I see that Tank Tyler felt his "one bad game and your our" wrath today and was traded for draft pick. I get it, fits in to the out with the old in with the new that Haley is bringing. Just sad to see all these guys who carried us through the terrible times get picked off one by one.
Got a little choked up when Stairs got in the box last night, thinking about Game 4 of last year, but even though my old Royal didn't come through Rollins banged the walk-off. Yanks head to LA now. God, I really hate the Angels and I really hate the Yankees. I can't even say I want anyone to win. Sad.
Vote for your favorite mascot HERE. Yes, I know it's janky. I like silly shit as such.
Also, CHECK this shit out. Is there a better job out there for Lupe? I think not.
'Skins in they hood this weekend. They are pretty damn unpredictable and we do have the fact that they gave up first wins to Detroit and Carolina, and that Zorn is their coach. I have my ugh about Haley at times, but Zorn much makes me go WTF is this guy doing. BUT. Today Haley replaces WR coach. Remeber, this is the coach spouting his "22 guys off the street" BS at the start of the season. He is in over his head, and now I feel acting straight on desperation. Either way, I feel like the Skins game is make or break for us. If we let them generate some god damn offense against us, and we lose, I see us going win less. I know I know...but it could happen folks.
Imma show my age here. But, hopefully some other ageful fuckers can appreciate. When I was a kid we had channels 4.5.9.41.and 62 (on a non cloudy or rainy day) so, I grew up listening to a LOT of baseball on the radio. My pops and I would set out on the porch of our house and listen to weekend afternoon games all the time growing up, yelling at my brother when he moved the wrong way and knocked our AM radio signal out of whack with his free-throw practices. Honestly still, I love hearing Denny Matthews voice when I am stuck in a car during a game, its just something I can not explain. I have tried to pass this to my kiddo as well, and being the awesome sports junkie she will ask to listen to the game over the radio most of the time. I wish I could put my finger on why, but that good announcer play by that makes a crucial play come alive in your mind...well it gives me the good kind of goosebumps. So, last night I did the unthinkable. Turned the TV off. Grabbed a beer, and listened to the Phillies win their game on the good ole AM radio. Still got that chill when Ramirez hit the knock and felt the excitement when Lidge came in...
I think there are things you learn from your parents you def hold dear for your entire life.
cause I know my ass is gonna ache over the Chiefs this week. I don't have near enough time to cover everything that is going wrong this season, but yeah...I think Pioli is in waaaaahhhhy over his head, and dear ole coach is havin kinda a rough time pulling OC and coaching duties. Lupe predicts the freaking 'Boys put a good 28 points up on us Sunday. Ughhhh.
Tailgate and game was a damn good time....don't let drunk people take your "mascot love" pics tho, they cut the heads off...Lots of beer, and wodka was consumed, grub was grilled perfectly, washers and football was played, and I even had a damn good tackle. I still got some wheels for a ole lady!
Little kid soccer only has 2 more games, thank god. Nothing like watching kids stand around cause they are so cold they don't want to play...and your freezing your ass off watching it.
I'm a fantasy pimp this year, still undefeated in 2 of the 3 leagues....but I have a bad feeling that is gonna end in at least one of those leagues this week. Say a prayer to fantasy Jesus for me.
Los Royales season complete. I promise I will get to a rundown on that soon. Still hoping for a Greinke Cy. He didn't look great in his last outing, but still....he is a solid choice. Keep fingers crossed.
There are just too many sports going on right now. I feel like I have baseball, football, hockey ADD. Flyers looked like shit against Crosby and his butt buddy Malkin....Phils are gonna win the whole thing all over again. I am trying so hard to still love baseball and be interested but....yeah but....
Hopefully will have some exciting news for you all after the weekend....
complete games for OMG Zack Greinke...Sunday, the boy was en fuego giving up only one hit... Greinke gets to boast with three shutouts and six complete games now, his 2.32 ERA is best in the American League...last night he walked one and struck out five in the best low-hit game of his career. Can we say 2009 Cy Young? I thought I wanted to talk 'bout Gordon...yeah I don't. If you could see me you'd see me shaking my head.
On the flip, season is almost over. We might end it at .400. Maybe. Can we get a break? At least we had Greinke to bring some brightness to the season. I think there is some saying about rebuilding and this and that and next year.....there are 32 games before I want to hear that shit.
BIG SIGH...now...time to address Todd Haley. And maybe his sanity. I don't even remember what I wrote last about the Chiefs. I am fairly sure it was before any of this preseason debacle stuff....
So first....Chan Gailey, OUT. Todd Haley filling his spot. People are acting shocked and appalled. Cause and effect. He was retained not someone Haley brought in. His playbook was written in blue crayola on a Big Chief tablet people...We have able arms (2 exactly, and I ain't talking about that dickweed Croyle) and people who can catch the ball....in preseason we score 2 offensive TD's in three games....and then our line lets the "big investment" go down.....pretty easy to see why he was let go. But here comes that sanity part I eluded to previously. You, sir are a first year coach, who has already been questioned (at least method wise) by the media...there is a huge weight on you to improve this team, and letting O cord go with no backup saying you will fill the position as well as you know...those head coach duties is maybe a little big in the britches. Shit, what do I know....I soon might be wearing a SuperHaley shirt and eating my words. I hope so.
Worried about Flowers....have not heard extent of his shoulder because the Cassel knee is overshadowing...but I must say I am more than pleased with our defensive play....everyone talking about how worried we were to change up the scheme, but it seems everyone is kinda fitting in and I am damn excited about Jackson. At least our D can score....
And now the part that makes me all woohooo....we have the components, and honestly what I think is a good start. The best part though....our division. After looking at Denver and the Raiders, well I could see us getting a few wins, and maybe just maybe making the playoffs. I know you think it is crazy talk....but I think I am on to something here.
Lupe over and out.
school is starting, fall sports practices...general running around like chickens with heads cut off. Oh yeah...and FOOTBALL!!
First, Royals are gonna get top billing. Gordon is starting to look like my favorite boy again and swinging the bat well. He is getting it back! We split with the Twins this series, and now head to Detroit. Pitchers are pitching decent and getting needed run support. Ready for a few home games, cause always love taking the kiddo to catch one or two as the summer winds down.
Chiefs finish training camp, and I am excited to see Toomer come to KC. Will give Bowe some competition and maybe make the kid step up. Hilarious article on some #27 trash talk HERE. More than anything I am just ready for football.
First fantasy draft on Sunday and I am sooo ready. I am playing in three leagues this year...I wonder if my head will spin and fly off actually trying to keep track of all my players and stats.
And lastly....Vick...to the Eagles. While it was surprising to me, it makes sense. He is a McNabb style guy, and with Kolb's uncertainty I would say better to bring in someone who has played in the league even though I am not a huge Vick fan. He brings a lot of options to the O in Philly...even if he is used elsewhere besides QB. The questions will arise of how has he kept in shape and form and has he slowed-lost agility...but you can bet your buttons I will watch and find out. I think the guy committed heinous crimes...yes. He did his time, and should be given a chance to play just like other players before him that have had problems and served their suspensions. If nothing else, they can use him as a second option...run wildcat and do some change up to keep some of those NFC D coordinators on their toes....I think it will be a cluster fuck, specially the first time any PETA protesters try to take their asses to the Link.
someone has been letting the blogging slip...
just wanted to mention I am still alive, and VIVA LA FOOTBALL!!
Royals...(insert head shaking) oh forlorn Royals....at least Zackiepooh was able to get a W to break his ugly little no run support streak....and that is all I got for the Royals.
We finally sign Jackson, and first Chiefs game is right around the corner. I am anxious as hell to see what our new guys put together. Can't be any worse, right?
R's pick up Ryan Freel and waste NO time putting him into action last night for our clusterfuck loss.
Fast and acrobatic, hopefully he can fill some of the spots we got due to injuries, you know...like half our team. But most notably...Freel is nuts. Hey, we straightened Greinke out, so maybe there is hope. We are like the psyche ward of the MLB. Why..do I say Freel could be a lil off his rocker?
Meet Farney...Freel gained some notoriety in August of 2006 when The Dayton Daily News reported that Freel talks to an imaginary voice in his head named Farney. Said Freel: "He's a little guy who lives in my head who talks to me and I talk to him. That little midget in my head said, 'That was a great catch, Ryan,' I said, 'Hey, Farney, I don't know if that was you who really caught that ball, but that was pretty good if it was.' Everybody thinks I talk to myself, so I tell 'em I'm talking to Farney." Freel later said that Farney's name arose from a conversation with Reds trainer Mark Mann: "He actually made a comment like, 'How are the voices in your head?' We'd play around and finally this year he said, 'What's the guy's name?' I said, 'Let's call him Farney.' So now every body's like, 'Run, Farney, run' or 'Let Farney hit today. You're not hitting very well.'" So...um...Yeeeeeahhhhh..... (makes finger around ear circle coo-coo motion)
Chen pitched ugly last night and even though our bats were there, him giving up some serious bombs makes up come up short. Verlander is always tough on us, and so I think we hit good, just got out hit. Greinke up tonight. I'm ready to see something absolutely dynamic out of him again!
First off, a lil side by side fun....inspired by my cartoon watching ass and the fact I got to see Skip Lou come out of the dugout this weekend...
I have been watching a lot of round ball, I just have not been emoting it to you all. Sorry...yeah, I know I suck.
Royals...well...we seem to be on a roller coaster ride. BUT, OMG ZACK GREINKE...our own lil All-Star treasure. Also with his schedule, he should be the starting pitcher...EXCITING!!
a severe clusterfuck, that ended well....We pull the W in extra innings. No time to give you a Lupe recap, read the rundown HERE. Soria blows, we bounce it off the wall and Farnsworth gets hurt....
Banny pitching, and listening to the game now. I am got my fingers crossed for a sweep!
with no hog.... (insert head bobbing here)
I must say I am excited about this week of inters.....Greinke got it right last night, throws 8 with no walks and whiffs 5. I was more excited though to see him bat. Kid loves to hit, and would have been stellar to see him hit one out. Soria comes on and gets the W. Please god let this be a sign we are gonna start bringing it all together. If nothing else, at least we get to play Pitt end of week, and well...they suck as bad as us.
Crisp out for the season. I can't say I am too sad about this. Mitchie M should prob take his place, although they can always stick Bill Pecota, I uh mean Bloomquist out there. I hope that Maier gets a chance.
Let's see....Chiefs sign some kicker from like the last round of the draft. Not sure that is very newsworthy, but they are retiring DT's number which is pretty sweet. Read about that HERE. Less than a week before they will be reporting to River Falls. I am sure it is premature, but I am getting really excited for the season already. I know its going to be a tough row to hoe, new QB, new D but really this is the first time we have been given something new to try, for awhile. I just hope it works.
NBA Draft tomorrow. Is there ANY chance Griffin doesn't go first pick? Even tho I despise the NBA, I am still gonna have to watch to see how some of my fave college guys do.
Can I say how much I hate running home on lunch to see that tennis is on. Thank god there is more than one ESPN and it was showing Sportscenter.
