I know I know...have been slacking. With good reason. Those reasons are too much darts, beer and other obvious distractions.
Excited to see Mauer hit tonight. Loving that a catcher is almost batting .400 but in the same breath, I hope Banny can shut him down.
I'm not recapping, but some of our boys were swingin good last night, and we get the W, and are on a 2 game streak....keep it goin, guys!!
Insert Hockey and NBA draft coverage (blah blah blah).
Is it time for NFL YET, woosa!

It was...
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!

And momma cooked a breakfast....
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.

Feckin Iggles.....
This post is late, but better late than never...
7 Time pro-bowler...the first player in NFL history to record a sack, interception, forced fumble, and a touchdown reception IN A SINGLE GAME. I don't think many guys hit harder than Dawkins....I have adored his play for so long, and now I have to say I can no longer cheer for him as a FUCKING BRONCO.
So, Heckert decides to not actually extend McNabb's contract, but just throw more money over to him. Like oh...5.3 million. Everyone knows I am not a fan of McNabb so I won't even start on that, but to see a guy like Dawkins play his whole career with the Iggles to see him go to Denver to let it die, kills me. They let Dawkins walk, free agent Buckhalter (who I know is a gamble but did well last season in Westbrook's absence) and don't even get me started on Brown.
This is me making the imaginary fuck off sign to Heckert. I WILL NOT cheer for the Broncos. I WILL NOT.

Ugh, really?
I was disgusted enough I couldn't bring myself to post yesterday. Not only did the Royals need a day off but so did I. Just when we were starting to pull it together somewhat, we drop our last 5 and not even closely. Pujols put on a fucking hitting clinic this weekend, even banging one like 4change to hit the new Hall of Fame building. More interleague this week with Astros and then the Buckos. Greinke pitching tonight...please can we have a few games where something doesn't blow up, and we maybe have a few hits? Jobu, if your listening, bitch I got some rum.
I must be irritated today not just over the slide we are on, but general sports shit all together. If I hear ONE MORE THING about Favre I might go postal. We all know he is going to be a Viking. SO STFU about it already, announce it and let some fools spend bucks on a jersey they gonna wear for 4 games till he rides the bench from throwing a record number of picks.
That's all your getting today...my ass is too distracted.

Welcome to the Bad Boy's Club....
Donte...read it all HERE. Commis speaks out, yet the Browns have yet to release him or much press.
Don't worry, your seat is right over there under the sign that says "Future Property of Al Davis".

Interleague shminnerleague...
Royals drop the series to Az with another ass scorching 12-5 loss....ugh. We still have a few inters left and remember, we went 13-5 in interleague games last year.
I want to talk about a word. That word is defined HERE. Consistency. I think that is the biggest prob the Royals have right now. Hoch, when you pitch an 80 pitch full game, and follow with 81 pitches in the 4th on your next outing, there is something missing. The consistency we have had this season is errors and bull pen pitching that blows ass. Last night we give up 2 homers from the pen and 2 wild pitch homers, and commit 3 errors. No matter how we hit, if we are giving those runs away it won't matter. People can say injuries of three of our players has something to do with it....although I am sure it doesn't help, I think it is about time to just start owning up. We have less experienced players on the field and when that happens, the streaks are going to happen. It is a roll with the punches kinda time for Royals fans right now. Bullpen, pull your head out your ass for god's sakes!
I-70 series this weekend, with Friday and Sat sold out. HERE are some interesting numbers on the ammt of asses people are dragging out to see the boys....The real question I want answered is will Davies shave the beard now that its summa and it would be making him sweat like a fat girl writing her first love letter?
Manny eligible to return July 3. Sosa's name leaked on the 'roids list. I would have more to say about it if I cared. I will try and act surprised. A little baby daddy drama for Dirk for Father's Day, HERE. And speaking of daddies, Brady apparently "completed" a lil something in the off season, HERE. I think Bernard Polard is a shoe-in for the godparent, don't you?

Zack ackkkkkkk akkkkkkk akkkkkk.....
First, let's get THIS out of the way, proving I truly am NOT the worst sports better in the world. (Thank god no one knew about those bets I laid on that Notre Dame game last year...)
Royals have been on the up and up other than a rather crappy showing by Greinke last night, with us dropping a 12-5 loss to Az. Thus ending a 4 game streak we had going.....ack! The good news is we are swinging our bats now, and pitching is coming around. Our starters are getting full game wins with decent pitch counts and keeping what has been a fairly stinky bullpen out of the mix. We are still committing WAYYY too many errors and leaving men stranded, which is no bueno, but it is improving over that rough ride we had been on the last few weeks.
Skip, with his awesome facial hair, (Exhibit A) gets selected to rep the AL in the midsummer classic...fairly cool. Might be the only Royal there, but he will look damn good doing it.
Does it seem that A Gord has been gone forever to anyone else? My god, I miss you Alex. Reports are saying he has been jogging and taking grounders and hitting in practice. I last heard he is scheduled back sometime after All-Star break. It can not come soon enough. Bloomquist has officially played every position this year other than pitcher or catcher....I am ready to have some kind of normalcy back.
Hoch on the hill tonight following up that awesome 80 pitch full.....that makes me happy as he last year was a guy who would go 6 and pitch 100 balls easy. Fingers are crossed for a good outing and some hits to go along with.

Sweep Sweep Sweep!!
Boys in blue pick up the series with Cinci this weekend....much needed!! I am too lazy and behind to break it all down, but pitching looked good and we had some serious batting, for a whole recap go HERE.
Pitt wins the Stanley cup, which doesn't really much change that I think Sid the Kid is still a huge homo...
Lakers win as well, and my hatred for Kobe grows.
I think that about sums it up. Royals off, start a homestand with Ariz this week to warm up for the good ole I-70 series this weekend.
