Have been meaning to make a trip to see the Royals play in Kauffman Stadium and would be nice to also get some KC barbeque. Would be an expensive proposition for one game, however.

Wife says she read that ALDS tickets were going for as high as $400 at the K.... I think the last game I attended was somewhere around $4 (and included a hot dog & drink) and stadium was about 1/3 full.

KC BBQ - Best in the world... Really miss it - Recently relocated to Texas and I'm pretty sure that KC has forgotten more about BBQ than Texas will ever know. (that oughta stick a burr in the mesquite BBQ fan's shorts)

I've been to the Hill Country of Texas several times and had brisket, sausage, ribs, etc. at some of the best BBQ places down there (Franklin, Black's, Smitty's, J. Mueller, Salt Lick, etc.). Have always wanted to do a combination Royals / BBQ trip to KC.

I look forward to watching the Orioles, hopefully make the World Series. The last time it happened I was 3 years old. I now have a 3 year old son.

Got me ticket for tomorrow Monday. I will be setting up so high the Bob Uker will be 2 rows in front of me. It will be raining all day and about 55 degrees with 15-20 wind.

None of that matters, I'm pumped, I can't wait.

Go Royals!!!

As an Orioles fan I can do nothing but congratulate the Royals. They played the game right on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully, that changes for my Birds as they tend to play better on the road with less pressure. Is the game going to be a rain out?

This year's playoffs have been amazing so far. I know when your team isn't winning it may not seem that way, but man, every time I turn around it's a tie ball game in the eighth or ninth inning. I'm really torn between the Royals and Orioles...love both of these teams and hate that only one can make it to the Series. I've always been an American League guy, so most likely I'll be rooting for whoever comes out of the AL.

Let's see if the Orioles can get back in this thing!

I prefered the good old days when KC was like a farm team for the Yankees.

Right now I am rooting for Orioles and Giants, if it winds up a KC-Cards world series, boy, I am not gonna have much intrest in that one!

I never was one to root for the underdog, i guess thats because i grew up in NY a Yankee fan in the 50's and 60's when i saw my team dominate for a long time.

Buckets of rain right now, with rain most of the day and evening. There is a very good chance this game is rained out.
