Good Times, Let's Groove

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: We at Big Donkeys feel strongly that the Royals should play "Let's Groove" by Earth, Wind and Fire after every home game at The K, and we know a little something about marketing and PR, people. Boston is famous for "Sweet Caroline," which is a song about being attracted to a little girl, for chrissakes. We assume (we don't even know, which is sad) that the Royals play "Kansas City," which is obviously a great song, but it just doesn't work in this case. If we were going to the game in Kansas City (Kansas City, here we come!), that would be one thing. But we're already at the game, and now the game is over. Earth, Wind and Fire send two very important messages: Let's groove tonight AND It's alright. That's all we really need. Let's face it, this song just makes you feel groovy, win or lose. And that's what we're all about at Big Donkeys. In the Bronx, they play Sinatra and nobody can take that away from them. They play it loud when they win and they play it low when they lose. In KC/Raytown, we need to hear "Let's Groove." And play that mother loud every night! THAT'S what we're talking about, people.

QUESTIONS:

For a guy who sucks at hitting, doesn't it seem like Jason Smith has a lot of pop in his bat?

Did Emil Brown really hit a big HR yesterday in Tokyo as a member of the Oakland A's?

Was that really Mike Sweeney scoring on Emil Clemente's big dinger?

It's too bad Huber got shipped to the NL with its archaic "everybody has to play a position" rule. (OK, we know that's not a question.)

When will this new generation of hooligans realize long uniform pants with no stirrups are stupid-looking?

How nice would the R's lineup be looking w/ a legitimate big bopper at 1B (especially w/ The Big Donkey at DH)?

How bad are the Cardinals going to be if Pujols spends significant time on the DL? (ANSWER: Probably not monumentally bad, just because they play in a crappy league full of crappy teams.)

Odalis Perez is the O.D. starter for the Nats!?

What makes the sky so high in Arizona?

Does anybody else think the mom from Gilmore Girls was/is hot?

When was the last time the Royals had a really effective platoon? (Sheridan and Motley?)

P.S. We enabled the "objectional content" feature because of the boobs, not because information on the Royals is usually objectionable.

I definitely have a hard time reading this at my job. The paintings are nice, but I work in a high school and the BOOBS may cause a little distraction to the students that are in my room during the lunch period.

Sorry. I've only got two boob paintings. So I'll cut it out for a while after this. At that point, I'll turn off the content warning. BD

"Let's Groove"- that's an inspired idea. Nothing against John Denver, but having "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" in regular rotation at the stadium is brutal.
