This is NOT a sports blog. I rarely mention our pro sports teams except to lament the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars we contribute to them.
However- the Royals players seem to appreciate the taxpayer contributions and are acting like they want to give fans their money's worth.
World Champions in 1985- the Royals had fallen from Kansas City baseball fans grace faster than a fully-loaded Airbus-320 with no engines.
There are young drinkers in bars in this burg that have NO idea what it's like to be in a baseball pennant race.
There seems to be a palpable change in all that THIS year.
A big part of all the excitement is pitching phenom Zack Greinke. At 6-0- Zack has an unbelievable ERA of 0.40.
Simply the best pitcher in ALL of baseball right now.
Along with this superb pitching- the offense and defense has come alive as well.
Last night- our most INeffective starter Ponson pitched a very respectable game that the Royals laughed to a 9-1 victory.
It's early May and the Royals are in first place. Here's savoring the flavor now- and hope the taste lasts until October.
GO ROYALS!!!
