As soon as the last pitch was thrown, it went back to "normal" bar type volume.

I think in seasons past, it was a lot different. If there was a game on in the background, most people wouldn't pay much attention. I can't wait to see what happens to this town if they actually do make a playoff run. I know it's early, but we've suffered long enough dammit.

Or else, I could have just imagined it all, who knows.

Haha, we were at a Jazz bar on Saturday. They had on their website that they play all Royals games, so we figured we'd go catch the end there. They had the damn Celtics game on so we made them change it. There ended up being a huge crowd around watching the game and when we finally got the run in to make it 8-7 the place erupted with applause. The band thought everyone was cheering for them for some reason. We figured more people had caught Royals Fever at that point than the Swine Flu

Can't we trade some prospects? Like Shealy or the Hawaiian dude? I guess we are just making sure Butler doesn't completely suck first.

Butler has been playing pretty damn well at first. He is no gold glove; but as long as he keeps heating up at the plate we don't need him to be a gold glove.

Has anyone bought seats in the Dri-Duck outfield section? I want to get 4 for tonight and they go on sale at the stadium at 10:00 AM. Just wondering how early I need to get there to make sure I get some before they sell out?

I'd be willing to bet Hochevar will be called up to pitch in the 4 game series with the Orioles at the K

Weakly hit ball back to the pitcher, so Soria he had to hurry. Throw was to the home side, thus taking Butler into the runner. Wasn't able to make the catch.

I think the throw also glanced off the runners leg before Butler had a chance to make the catch.

Yea, I think those tickets are strictly walk-up. And you don't want to be there on a cooler evening.

I would imagine you need to be in line by 3:00 or so to get those seats.

dry duck sells out fast unless it is a crappy game. I went there last monday and was the first fan in the staduim.

How is the view from there?

I'll be there also. We are going for the $5 seats tonight since it was an impulse game.

May 23rd. Is this the magical date for Hochevar's return so that the Royals can further control his FA years?

Caller on 810 claims this is the date.
