Ah, it's one game (and I actually listened/watched to all of it :eek: ). Let's see how Wednesday and Thursday go, and then how they do against the LA Angels of Anal-heim of Orange County of California of the US. They're gonna lose a lot of games this year, some like today's, let's just hope they can win a few, and get better as they go along.

I think that's just sports in general though, not just the Royals. The Royals are still one of the cheapest professional sports experiences in the country. You look up Cardinals tickets and it is absurd... you'd be paying 30-ish dollars for the marquee games in the equivalent of some of the 7 dollar seats at the K, 10-12 bucks if you want to park near the stadium... then it's freaking 2.50 if you want a scorecard which is highway robbery. It's expensive. But then again I don't have a family to think about. If I wanted go to a game at the K for the cheapest amount possible it'd cost me $7 to get in, $1 for a scorecard, and $4.50 or so for a pepsi, and that'd pretty much be it.

As well they should be. Why should the good people of KC pay absorbant prices to go watch a triple AAA ballclub? If Glass wont shell out, why should we??

I hate paying absorbant prices.

Do you think you could throw any more cliches into one post? "It's AAA baseball".... "Glass doesn't spend money".... where were you at the beginning of last season?

That's exactly why I didn't go with my diaper joke. I knew it would just go flat.

Not really. I don't think I want my head to explode before May, although that appears unlikely with each passing day as I hear "Glass would never spend money to improve the team" over and over and over again.... it's like that whole "if it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college" thing. One day I'm going to wake up and get on here and my brain is just going to explode.

dropping like 30 bucks for a night of good entertainment if your like me just take a water bottle full of liquer in the game then just go to the bathroom and put some in your sprite making sure that no security guard is watching.

I don't disagree with a word you've said and you make a good point about sports in general. However, I'm willing to pay a premium to go see guys like Pujols, Rolen, Edmonds, etc. Paying $130 to go see those guys, who my kids would remember watching while growing up....vs. $100 to see the crap on the field for the Royals are two entirely different things. I would go to a couple fewer Cardinal games, but they'd certainly be more memorable.

Me too. At least they aren't still crying that "we didn't even try to sign Beltran"

I disagree with the "crap on the field" sentiment. Its fun being the underdog. I remember a couple seasons ago the Yankees came to town, and the place was near full, mostly Skankees fans, and we absolutely hammered them..something like 12-3. I loved watching them sulk, and leave in the 7th inning.

How about the old term "ya get what ya pay for." Royals tickets are cheap. If they were good, you'd be paying more. :shrug:
