Bring on the World Series.

Alrighty, folks, step right up! This here's yer handy dandy guide to rootin' for the Royals in the World Series. Come Tuesday night, you'll know all the ins and outs of the Royals lineup like you're keeping a scorecard in your pants.

The Postseason.

Ah, Autumn. You're such a baseball purist. Ever since the Royals started their postseason run, Mother Nature has made sure the wily winds bring in a cold chill. When they played the Astros in Game 1 of the ALDS it was a cool 63 degrees - then there was a downpour, a rain delay, and a cold wind running wild through the stadium. I convinced myself (against my better judgement) that I could stick it out, that the happy little rally towel the delightful staff by the front gate had given us was a magical heating device that could keep my body warmth trapped underneath it on my lap. I would say I've never been so cold in my life, except the next day it was all of 61 degrees but without the rain. I remember walking up to the gate for the second time and seeing so many brilliant, brilliant drunk people wrapped in fleece blankets. There are moments in life when your entire world changes. Realizing I could bring a blanket in to a baseball game just happens to be one of them.
