Yes, Matias, RF for Lexington Legends, has 26 HRs this season. I am most excited by Matias and Khalil Lee. It does seem like KC best and brightest are in A. Hopefully they come up with the pitchers we just drafted. I do need to get out to Werner Park on the next homestand, to see Creighon's own Nic...

For any of you with kids or a dinosaur nerd like me, this is highly recommended. Also since it's in Union Station, that makes it even better. We went last weekend.

Salvy is the lone All-Star (reserve) from the Royals. There is an A league Royal from DR that is lighting it up, can't remember his name. Hopefully the Yankees will give us some good prospects for Moose, And 2 hit Whitt might bring some more talent to Omaha. Those arms from the draft should be slow...

We are in KC for a few days. Staying at DT Marriott. Taking street car to Union Station to see new dinosaur exhibit. Here’s a great article on KC and street car in NY Times: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/07/04/travel/the-perfect-way-to-explore-modern-kansas-city-a-streetcar-believe-it-or-not.html ...

I was reading more about this since my last post above. It seems the rescue crews had hardly carted off the critically wounded girl and another home run ball hit a woman in the head breaking her glasses and drawing blood and hurting her pretty bad. First the story circulating was the ball bounced o...

Yes, back in the CCHA days. My favorites to come in back then were Michigan and Michigan State.

Yeah I heard several versions of that, along with some craziers ones like the the the Cubs wanted to flip AAA franchises with the Royals. All kinds of fan based rumors because of the Ricketts family in Omaha. None of it seemed to be based in reality. A good friend of mine was fairly high up at MECA...

It is amazing you never see security arrive.

I don't have any issues with the CHI MECA deal. That being said, this is just another case of MECA not feeling like they are accountable to anyone. We went down this road with them on TD Ameritrade. Anybody remember how they compared having a baseball stadium near the CenturyLink Center to have a ga...

Greg S

In hindsight, the set up of MECA and lack ouf accountability has been a major mistake.

One thing I heard interesting on Sharp and Benning this morning is that Gary Sharp was saying that MECA will not allow you to bring iPads into TD Ameritrade Park (assuming it applies to all tablets). Found that interesting.

As a hockey fan, the 2 years the Knights were here were the best. For only being here 2 years crazy how many future NHL'ers I saw play for and against the Knights. Between the Knights and UNO I saw so much good hockey downtown.

The territorial rights belong to the Storm Chasers, not Kansas City. The Storm Chasers would have to give their permission for any exhibition or regular season major league game.

The part that got my attention was were you said they were looking to have a MLB game at Werner during the CWS. I can't picture the Chasers doing that. Also I don't see how MLBPA or the Commissioner signing off on something like that when they are trying to expand their relationship with the NCAA no...

I'm not sure this will be tide in to the Chasers tickets at all. With them having KC come up in March I don't think it will be tied in with them at all. Different ball parks, ticket systems (the Chasers don't use ticketmaster), and MECA. I got great seats for the exhibtion game at Werner (also had ...

This is awesome, a regular season game to boot. And the baseball draft at the Orpheum? How fricken cool is this? Is the draft at the Orpheum official? It does not seemed mentioned as much as the game. Greg Not official, but seems there is some smoke. I think it would be incredibly popular here. I'd...

I'm so excited for this. I am already wondering what it will take to get tickets and how much they will cost. This is a must attend for me. I'm wondering if there will be ticket options for Storm Chasers ticket holders? Royals ticket plan holders? CWS Season ticket holders? I'm betting the cost wil...

They are going to open a Zio's at 156th and State according to the Grow Omaha Facebook page. I did not read that the same way you did. I think the only Zio's going in is the one I posted a few post above at 180th and Center. You are probably right. It's confusing because the post and pictures are s...

It's not the best for the fans, tv audience and such. But some of this has been great for stadium sales and for the restaraunt and shops around TD. We were there Saturday for the first game. Lots of concession sales in the stadium during the hours long wait. Plus many fans exited the stadium during ...
