RECAP: Gattis’ grannie downs Royals in opener
With one swing of the bat, the Royals scored more runs against the Defending World Champion Houston Astros than they did in a two-game series against the garbage-pail Cincinnati Reds. Which was good!

Friday Notes

Then, change began to happen and I think it took some people some time to figure out how exactly to cheer for a good team. You just have to remember how […]
Player Profile: Paulo Orlando
All it took was a triple. And another. And another. Then, a couple of games later, one more for good measure. Paulo Orlando’s first four games in the major leagues were highlighted by four triples. He was running wild on the bases, resurrecting memories of those Running Royals of the 1970’s. It was as if […]
