Kinda odd that its a night game even though they have to fly home tonight.

I'll update the OP with the usual bells and whistles when I get home.

I'll be there! Paint this mother ****er blue

I've been impressed with the Royals turnout. The seats by the Royals dugout were mostly blue both nights I went. Definitely pretty vocal too with Moose chants frequently, which is perfect because Dbacks fans were probably booing at the same time.

In for the sweep

Some Chiefs fans are currently teaching SungWoo how to play flip cup

Prolly developed a following from surprise?

Woo tang clan ain't nothing to fock with

Anyone else planning to switch from chiefs to royals at first pitch?

No idea because 14 teams make Phoenix their spring training home and I'm not sure of all the teams here, the Royals would make my list if I was looking to root for a team. The couple in front of us the first night were from Topeka and took the train to Flagstaff and drove down for the games. Phoenix seems to have a large percentage of people from KC who aren't afraid to travel here or winter here.

My roomates and I set up two TV's. :D

Am I getting ahead of myself?

Sun Sept 7 Chiefs/ Titans and Royals/ Yankees both at noon

Sun Sept 14 Chiefs/ Broncos at 3, Royals/ Red Sox at 3

Sun Sept 21 Chiefs/ Dolphins at 3:30 and Royals/ Tigers at 1:10

I'll watch the first half of the Chiefs maybe, but the Royals have my undivided attention right now.

Chiefs radio. Royals tv.

Yes, for the reg season when they play at the same time I'll probably listen to the royals and watch the chiefs.
