Upon Further Review, The Eighth Wonder Of The World Is…

Cheaper Food: Royals. I didn’t really research this one, but from what I’ve heard, Yankee Stadium charges outrageously high prices.

Cheaper Tickets: Royals. Come on. I searched one ticket site for this. The cheapest Royals ticket was $7 (you can get them for $2.50 at a local grocery store). The Yankees… didn’t have any listed. I’m assuming they were trying to cover up the $300 tickets for the upper deck or something like that.

Better Team: Yankees. Another gimme. This could be the reason they charge too much… but probably not.

Stadium Name: Royals. Kauffman Stadium beats out Yankee Stadium any day. We know it’s the Yankees! Tell us something we don’t know.

Stadium Features: Royals. The Yankees do have a nice park, but 1) It’s a launch pad for home runs, while Kauffman is giving up less this year, and B) I don’t see a giant video screen in center field anything like ours. Some people may argue that having more home runs is better for the park, but I like seeing the game based on speed and daring, not on who can swing the bat the best. If I had my way, I’d bring back the dead-ball era.

Well, from what I see here it looks like the Royals have a much better stadium than the Yankees. Sorry New Yorkers, but the facts speak for themselves.

While I was at the game, (sitting in row FF in the nosebleed section- hey, our tickets aren’t too cheap!) I watched the Royals bullpen implode yet again. 8 runs in the seventh off of… Kyle Farnsworth! Hey, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. Apparently injury rehab didn’t help him, because he’s still doing terrible.

Zack Greinke set our team’s K record at… the K! Go figure. 15 strikeouts and we have ourselves a winner! Is the team finally giving him support? No, it’s just that it’s pretty hard to lose if you throw 15 strikeouts.

ABC is airing a new show called Shaq vs.. I’m sure you’ve all heard of it. Apparently he’s 0-for-2. Not so cocky now, is he? The real show’s coming up this week- Albert Pujols. Let’s all watch him get creamed again. (He also has to take on Michael Phelps- that’ll be even worse).

And the world’s greatest flip-flopper has flip-flopped once again. Yes, Brett Favre is back everybody. Let’s hope he retires by the third week of the season to play- and I here I quote the future “less rough football with those guys from Wrangler.”…well, maybe, maybe not.

I haven’t been posting as often since school has started, and it’ll drop off even more at a proportional rate to the Royals’ playoff chances. Saturday, my normal post day, is my birthday, so next Saturday I should be back up, hopefully. That’s all I have for now.
