Looks like the Royals did good on this one.

Wasn't Fahey the one that negotiated the deal with the unions that led to the spiking? I remember the fireman under his watch went crazy with it. No way Stothert could have saved Con Agra. Once they brought in the new CEO it was a done deal. He was moving them back to Chicago no matter what. That wa...

Don't know how I missed this. The timing is a little off. Thought it would most likely happen at the start of the summer:

Fun. How was it? I would love to see that. I dig dinos! Jurassic Park is my favorite movie franchise, I think. I've seen "Sue" (the T-Rex unearthed in South Dakota) at the Chicago museum. I really really liked it. Like you I love the JP franchise so it was great. They also have dino movie...

Most definitely. Butera might be the most popular backup catcher in baseball. They love him in KC. Also I crack up every time watching Gordon knock off Drew's batting helmet.

I think Arop due to what happened with his brother is a long shot for NU. I think Williams is much more likely will end up at Nebraska:

Yeah there were issues with Oak View from the start. Agreed it was built too small. They had room for 2 new anchor stores after it opened (which became Sears and Penneys) but no room to add wings with them (for additional stores). So going in, it was never going to end up being the major mall in Oma...

Me too. I must of ate in the Crystal tree Dining Room 150 times and then some. That old cook they had for years was a royal pain but he could cook a mean prime rib.

Let's not forget the Lazy Leopard Lounge.

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.

So are Centris FCU and SAC FCU and they do sponsorships locally as well.
