A Quick Note on my Boys in Blue

I know that this blog is supposed to be about baseball in general, but I want to just say that I'm tickled pink (or should it be blue?) that my Kansas City Royals are 4-2. I had guessed Sunday night of last week that the Royals would do this in their first week and I'm secretly hoping for a 4-2 or 5-1 repeat during the upcoming home stand.


Today we start a series against the New York Yankees. And then Friday we play the Minnesota Twins once more. I am going to do everything in my power to be at the majority of these games. My dad managed to get me a ticket to home opener today, and despite the rainy mess that awaits me outside, I cannot wait!!! On top of today, I should be going to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It all really depends on how things are going with my committee and the stuff that we're doing as a thank you gift, so...we'll see. Real life always gets in the way of the fun stuff, right? Anyways, I will make an edit to this later on today with photos of today's festivities. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and get another win today!

Loyal's Back...Tell a Friend!

Let's just say that I am the queen of failed attempts at projects. And, as you can tell, this one failed epically. But to be fair, after my last post, I went on a short vacation to Utah that turned quickly into a long vacation in Massachusetts while I worked at a summer camp. I instilled the north east with my midwest Royal-loving spunk. And my boys in blue made sure that momma was proud every day! It didn't matter that I was the only kid cheering (note: when we won against the Red Sox, all the Yankee kids cheered...and when we won against the Yankees, all the Red Sox and Mets kids cheered), everyone had a good laugh at my antics and rejoicing.

So. 2008, the year that I manage to update this on a semi-regular basis! Y'all should be proud of me. Look forward to more TGFH updates (if you have a hottie you'd like to suggest, please shoot me an e-mail or a comment post haste), more opinions on baseball, and...more importantly...updates on Loyal2's Gobstoppers!!!! My fantasy team is so going to kick butt this year it isn't even funny.


And honestly, it was either this or the Jalepeña Hotties. Good thing I didn't get any Peñas on my team! Not that I have Jimmy Gobble, either. It'll work itself out I'm sure. I've already had some ridiculous trade offers, most of them in jest. My personal favorite was Johan Santana for a picture of a kitten playing in the grass. Oh dear, my ovaries are going to have some work to do this year if we're gonna put all these boys in their places. Good thing I like challenges.

To steal a saying from Royales with Cheese...go Gobstoppers, you're the best!
