I would be remiss if I didn’t give you the scoop on what is happening with my beloved Royals Baseball team in this World Series!
I am sure many of you are already aware of the World Series as game 6 starts tonight.
There are 7 games played and the team winning the most games of the 7 win the World Series.
The first two games were played in Kansas City and the Royals won 1 game and the Giants won one game.
So it was tied 1-1.
Then there was a day of flying as the teams went to San Francisco to play 3 more games. The Royals won one game and the Giants won 2 games.
Now, the standings are Royals, 2 games and Giants 3 games.
Again there was a flying day on Monday and tonite…Tuesday, game 6 will be played and IF the Royals win, they will also play game 7 on Wednesday.
However, if the Giants win tonight…the World Series is all over for 2014 as they will have won 4 games…no need to play the other game.
But I have faith in this young baseball team and I am hoping history will repeat itself.
In 1985…the Royals were in the same situation with two games left to play and they were down by 1 game (3-2) with the same stats as this night.
But the Royals did the unthinkable and won the last two games….winning the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Of course the question is…can the Kansas City Royals do it again?
I hope they can!
I think they can!
I believe they can!
But win or lose…they are still my team.
The same team I watched for years, while sitting in Kaufman stadium…munching on peanuts…. with perhaps a couple hundred fans in attendance…as the Royals lost yet another game.
(usually the 100th game of the 162 games played in a season)
But wait!
Almost the same team ….these new, young players have determination and true grit.
They don’t take themselves seriously…no one is a star in their eyes…. as they joke and kid around with each other, both on and off the field.
They know how to play the game and they play it full on.
They never give up!
And as true fans of this team of blue…..we must not give up on them either!
Yes, they HAVE to win tonight….and then they HAVE to win tomorrow night.
But you know what? They have already won in my eyes.
They entered the play offs and then the World Series ….where no one…that is right NO ONE thought they could or would!
All the analysts focused on many other teams in their predictions.
So I say to the Manager, Ned Yost and to every one of the players on the Kansas City Royals Team.
Well done and well played.
It has been a party….and will continue to be for the 2014 Kansas City Royals!
Movie Review….The Zookeeper’s Wife! This movie had a release date of March 2017, so it has been in movie theaters for a while. The Captain and I wanted to be sure to see it before it left the movie theaters… simply because we really enjoy seeing a movie on those large movie screens. This movie is…
My dear readers….I have many decorating projects going on in my kitchen, living room and dining room right now. Painting chair legs and table legs, ….painting the chandy (chandelier) and painting the ceiling and walls have all been on my summer “To-Do” list. All of these projects take a little time and I…
It’s time for change. Grab up a chair and a cuppa…let’s just take a moment to talk a bit. Is that a Pumpkin bread I see waiting to become the partner to a hot cuppa tea? Yes, I thought so. Let’s talk about the events in our lives and how the season change affects these…
My dear readers….being a transplant from the Kansas/Missouri area to Florida, I often imitate a clicking of the ruby red slippers and use the phrase, “There is no place like home” or there is no place like home and garden!
Easter Bonnet Parade! Why not have your own Easter Bonnet Parade by making your own edible little Easter Bonnets! Get the little ones involved in the making of these little Easter Bonnets. You can assemble all the cookies and frosting and make a game out of who can make their favorite bonnet. You can either…
Think Spring and you think of putting on flip flops! In my case, I wear flip flops all year around here in Florida. Make flip flop cakes and you will think of Spring and Summer and Lemonade and swimming in the creek! What fun that was as a kid. Let your…

Kari, I heard talk that they plan to go ahead with the parade. Not sure though.
Kari,
What a series! I have to admit, I’ve never been that much of a Royals fan, but I’ll tell you what,
those “Boys in Blue” have indeed won my heart.
Talk about kids, (yes, I can call them kids) who played with so much heart.
They’ve not taken themselves ‘seriously’ as to become pompous as a LOT of ballplayers do.
They have MANNERS!!
They are well spoken and had nothing but kindness to say of their opponents.
While S.F. burned last night, gun shots fired, I DO NOT BELIEVE that the people of
Kansas City would have reacted the same way. THIS is the attitude of the people that
this team has inspired.
Everyone here in town was/IS over the moon about this team.
So am I.
(and that’s coming from someone born on the west coast and grew up watching the Giants!)
I agree….it was interesting to note that many of the sports analysts today seem to think that this series will be more remembered… as the Royals rose above all the odds and did a number one class act. They also said that years from now…many people might remember the Royals winning the series…..they were that memorable!
I think Kansas City ought to have a parade anyway to celebrate this great young team who gave it their all.
I still say…
Go Royals!
Me 🙂
You know Sandy, the last 15 play-off games have been exciting …and I can’t wait for tonight’s game. Go Royals!
BUT the Kansas Jayhawks had a wonderful 60th celebration of Allen Fieldhouse on Monday evening as they gear up for the college basketball season. Roy Williams, Larry Brown and Ted Owens joined Bill Self as guests…..Talk about basketball history! Looking forward to a great year with the Jayhawks! Rock Chalk Jayhawk! 😉
And the Chiefs are showing promise….play-offs for them? Lets hope so. Jamal Charles is really playing to his potential this year! Andy Reid has coached them well. Go Chiefs!
Sandy, That was a really good game last night….10-0….such a booster being with the home crowd and playing so well.
It might be time to replace of few of my faded Royals T-shirts(I have worn and washed them so many times) with a World Series Shirt!
thanks for stopping by

Yay! The Royals won, Kari. Like you, win or lose I love those guys. They are such great guys. There is no doubt in my mind that they’ll win tomorrow night.

Go Royals is right, Kari.
Oh yeah, Rock Chalk Jayhawk! I’m a fan of theirs, too.
I would like to see the Chiefs make the playoffs, but I’m not a fan of football. It’s too dangerous a sport. Charles is always excellent.

It was an exciting game, Kari, but it’s going to be even more exciting tonight. I can’t wait. I almost feel sorry for the Giants.
