I hope pete don't whine this season.

Allright, leaving for the stadium in about 2 hours. Really need this rain to go away asap

What a great pitching match up for opening day! Go Tigers!

Jesus, just washed my cooler from last Fall out in the shower. Lord, I need a yard and harder work ethic.

Its too bad the Royals have already fallen out of contention...

I wish they would just move the team to Sacramento so I could stop caring.

The offense will squander a great pitching performance. I can see it already.

Tickets online
 

Just went to the website kcroyals.com and they have released a group of tickets.

Yeah - I'm thinking of a low scoring game that the Royals blow in the late innings.

They will fall behind 3-0 then tie it up fall behind tie it up fall behind tie it up fall behind lose.

Greinke v. Verlander. I think this is the first time in a long time that Kauffman has had the best pitching matchup in the league to start the season. Should be fun to watch if you like pitching duels.
