Me and 7 buddies from KC went to Camden Yards Saturday & Sunday and had an absolutely blast cheering the Royals during their two wins. Some notes:

We chanted "let's go Royals clap clap clap" like mad men both games. Orioles faithful were somewhat annoyed, but they were accommodating nonetheless. We also got a ton of tv time, as the 30 texts from back home showed.

Met Ryan Leferbe and Rex Hudler and I must say they were both cool as shit. Ryan was the man, spent some time talking to us. Rex was his usual overly complimentive self telling us "we were a big part of the win". Yes he's still a tool, but I really like the guy now for the way he was to us when he didn't have to be.

Greg Holland is my new favorite Royal, dude took picks with us, signed the baseballs that Chen threw some of my friends, and just shot the shit. He got a kick out of us asking him to describe what it was like to throw a no-hitter. At first he was like," I can't take credit for that, just one inning...." but then we pressed him and he was like, "yes that was pretty ****ing cool."

Tim Collins was kind of an ass, but it's hard to judge what it'd be like to be in his shoes. I wear size 12's. He basically told some kids after the game to get lost when they asked for his autograph and muttered "crazy ass fans" as he blew past them. Literally like three 10 year olds, just who MLB needs to be into baseball.

Paulino is huge in person.

Al Escobar has a wife/gf that reminds me of a younger hotter version of Ice Ts Coco. Huge, I mean ridiculous, chest with blonde hair and a stripper body. Tall too. Funny as shit to see her on his arm. He was cool too, as was Pena, but then of course Brayan was.

Moose spent 15 minutes before Sundays game signing for every kid, collector, you name it. Hosmer was cool too, even taking photos with fans.

I'm not a get things signed kind of guy, but I was still impressed with the young Royals Stars and the way they treated the kids there, both Orioles and Royals fans alike.

Camden's a crazy cool park, but way to small of dimensions for my liking. Last note, I loved seeing the Royals emblem on the million all star ballots at the stadium.
