Royals 2009 Kansas City Royals Repository. - Page 8

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! "Grab a Brew... don't cost nuthin"...[spills beer on feet]

Decent chat, except that he outed himself as a Raiders fan. http://chiefsplanet.com/BB/images/smilies/roll.gif

Good move. I have to say it took a little notch off for me. But I still love how the guy plays, especially his patience and ability to make things happen on offense and defense.

I was in 103 Row A a few games back vs. Detroit. Seats are awesome for batting practice, however not perfect for the game. The wall is really thick, and at that angle you have almost no view of the deep outfield.

Guy Fieri imposter interviewed during Royals telecast

Not to take away from Zack Greinke’s masterful shutout, but a Guy Fieri imposter was interviewed on-air last night during Fox Sports Net’s broadcast of the Royals game.

Guy Fieri, for those who don’t know, is the Food Network host of "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." He travels the country visiting these places. He has been to Kansas City before.

A call to PR person Rebecca Brooks confirmed it: It wasn’t Guy!

The imposter gave interviewer Joel Goldberg’s questions short, rude, one-word answers. He was acting like he wanted no part of the interview. He took a phone call during the interview. It was no doubt from his buddy Cletus, who said something like “hey, Buford, I see you on TV!”

My wife’s first reaction was “he looks awful!” It sounded nothing like Fieri. I have seen Fieri in the crowd at various sporting events before, though.

I was determined to never watch his show again, but at least it wasn’t really him. If you know who it was, shoot me an email.

I've always considered the real Fieri to be something of an imposter too, though. Until he visits Columbia's Broadway Diner and orders a "Stretch," I don't consider his show to be legit.

| Eric Winkler, ewinkler@kcstar.com

That is funny. I saw the same thing. This prompted my roomate to say that Frei should come to Columbia and eat the "stretch."

For those that don't know, its a huge pile of hash browns covered with 3 fried eggs, then drown in chili, onions, and green peppers.

The diner doesn't open until midnight, and is located within walking distance of about 20 college bars. Sometimes there is a line clear around the building just to get in. (It's an old school dinercar type diner that seats probably 30 people at best.)

I just now got home. Unless someone else is really wanting to start it up, I'll put the game thread up in a few minutes

Nope.....it's all you man. And if someone starts the thread other than you I will petition for their immediate banning for the rest of the season.

Seattle lost 2 of 3 to the Rangers including yesterday's 10th inning heartbreaker where the Rangers C Saltamachaccia hit a slam to effectively put the game away.

M's are 4-6 in their last 10, but are 8-5 on the road. Plus they get to face Pontoon, which can make any team lacking confidence feel good about themselves.

Like the Chiefs defense.

M's lose Kelly to DL. Strained oblique.

Shawn Kelley, a rookie reliever who had performed so well this season that he was handling some of the most difficult late-inning assignments recently, threw three pitches in the 10th inning on Tuesday afternoon -- and then fell to the ground.
Kelley, one of the biggest surprises in Spring Training, entered Tuesday afternoon's series finale against the Rangers in the top of the 10th inning with a 1.54 ERA.

One thing that's encouraging is that the better we get the more likely Glass is to open up the purse strings and increase payroll. I for one wouldn't mind seeing us getting a big bat before the trade deadline.

**DeezNutz** · 05-06-2009, 08:50 AM

You're right that it will be a very interesting June and July.

This team appears to be legit, not getting by on smoke and mirrors like '03, so what's Glass going to do? Will he pony up to try to make a serious run at this thing?

I'm surprised that there hasn't been more talk from/about Glass and KC's hot start. According to 810, the dude hasn't even been going to the games, which makes me a bit nervous, assuming this report is accurate.

Greinke has become a national story, though, so you'd think that Glass would have a very strong interest in being at the games for at least his starts.

That shows how out of it i am, that is very true...i'd def. make it for every start of his at home...

Glass is def. a quiet owner and probably just cares what it takes to bring in money, which sucks
