2009 Kansas City Royals Repository.
All Royals All The Time!
After consultation with others who peruse the game threads we decided to create this as a repository for all things Royals. Minor league news, AL (ahem) Central (thanks Vonne) news and anything Royals can be found here. alnorth will continue the game threads as usual. But if you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here. If a big story breaks, you can still start a thread about it. There is merely an all inclusive thread that will make a easy for us all to keep up with all things Royals. Welcome!

Help sent for midwest tornado's (atchison Times)
In a move that stunned most people and babies. Zack Grienke has been sent out to tornado hunt, in hopes to ruin their shit before they get started. With his 4 pitches he hopes to confuse, destroy, possibly even make love, to f4 and f5 tornado's. Mayor Mayerson from atchison ks issued this statement "Zack Grienke will be sent out to stomp a mother ****ing hole in those tornado's asses" It is unsure if Catcher Miguel Olivo will be sent out with him, due to the fact his swings and misses maybe the actual cause of the tornado's *Stock footage of Olivo striking out, then stock footage of miguel signing autographs, and more stock footage of olivo in watermelon eating contest" Fans from across the state have lined up to see Zack in action WHOOOO HOOO ZACK BABY WHOO HOOO one fan yelled WHOO HOO I WANT TO **** YOU... Sick dude wtf some other fans exjaculated

I heard on Jim Rome... he was talking about Greinke... said, there were no adjectives to describe him that were good enough... said a major leaguer told him, that Greinke has "**** You Stuff"... sick.

Wish I could find more info on Blaine Hardy. He pitched again last night and gave up an ER plus an inherited run in one inning of work (2 run HR). He didn't walk anybody and didn't K anybody.
He has 28 K's and ZERO BB in 23.2 innings. |

For those that haven't followed it, Chris Hayes is blogging during the season for AAA Omaha. It's pretty good. He did an interview with MiLB.com that I enjoyed.

Chris "Disco" Hayes is a very interesting story, and he's become a bit of a cult favorite among hard-core Royals fans. (Now that Rowdy Hardy has kind of faded out) I'm really rooting for him to make it. He was given his nickname during an interview with Rany, who was the guy who originally called Soria the Mexicutioner. Last year the Arizona Fall League asked him to write a guest blog, no topic just on whatever. His entry was so hilarious that he was immediately given his own blog and Rany did a two part interview of him for baseball prospectus. Rany's evaluation of him as a prospect after the interview was also hopeful. Quick history: undrafted out of college, he pitched 1 year with an independent team, pitched in South America, then was invited to a couple tryouts. After failing to get signed in the first tryout he heard the Royals were having an open tryout for all comers, so he drove over to Surprise and was the only guy signed out of that open tryout. Since then, he's pitched well enough to get promoted to AA, but this year has been easily his best so far. He's throwing one of the best lines for NW Arkanses with a 3-0 record out of relief, 0.96 ERA, 1.07 WHIP in 18.2 IP. He's a submarine pitcher which means he doesnt get (and doesnt need) many strikeouts, because he has a rediculous groundball/fly ratio of 3.90
