You walk several blocks in the K’s lot, too. [Reply]

I usually like the Border Patrol, but St. John has driven that joke six feet into the ground (as he did with Doug Fister and Brooks Pounders). It's been around for two years. Plus, he goes by Richard, not Dick. Are we going to get that EVERY DAY -- when he pitches, and when he doesn't ("Why didn't they whip out their Dick ... Lovelady in the 8th LULZ")? [Reply]

I think you might want to put some earmuffs on because those jokes aren't going away any time soon, from the Border Patrol or anywhere else. [Reply]

Of course winning helps but the Royals need to take a look into things IE: ticket prices, concessions, parking, etc.
I'm not disputing that attendance should be a concern. It's PB's schtick to find something to bitch about every year and then bitch about it incessantly. Last year it was his Alshittys takes. [Reply]

I don't think anybody is questioning the stadium itself, but the location could certainly be improved. I'll leave it at that, I don't want to get into the ping-pong arguments. [Reply]

The reporter sheepishly popped off with something about his question being "obvious" then Ned said something to the effect that there's a difference between tying a record and breaking it.
Standard fare for Ned. Ned's M.O. appears to be one where he generally treats the press like crap, probably because he has more challenging years than good years, and he would rather not be questioned at all.
Just my take, but I don't understand why people waste their time asking him anything, much less baseball related questions where the answers to the questions are obvious to anybody with a pulse. Like our bullpen and it being terrible! [Reply]
I didn't get to see the game last night but just saw where Hamilton scored from 2nd base on a sacrifice fly .LOL. That's one fast motherfucker! [Reply]

Yet, somehow, that’s more creative/clever than POS humor on CP. [Reply]
