The Royals are sketchy

We walked all around The Hill and ended up eating at Rigazzi's (again). The food isn't that great, but we really like the atmosphere. We also went to Blueberry Hill. Junior played video poker at the bar at both places while we drank beer and smoked.

We can't stop our father from saying I-Talian. Surprised he didn't get rolled.

There was a Dirt Cheap next to our Holiday Inn. We bought some Vantage Ultra-Lights. Old school.

We sat way up high on Sunday. It was hard to find the ball. In those situations, you have to watch the outfielders in order to track fly balls.

The Cardinals need to renovate that stadium already. The concourses need to be widened and they've got to figure out a way to move traffic from the upper levels to the lower levels more efficiently. Leaving the game took forever, and we felt TRAPPED while trying to descend and find an opening out.

Bannister really bailed the Royals out Sunday. So did Bale (and Jacobs).

Butler is starting to get his swing on.

But the Royals aren't a very good team, at all, right now.

The games on Friday and Saturday and yesterday were too ugly for words.

Hopefully Greinke doesn't give up more than one run tonight.

P.S. Junior thinks I say the word "sketchy" too much. He's probably right.

After Blueberry Hill you should have gone over to Fitz's with Junior for so root beer. I only live a couple of blocks from there so then you could have come to my kids birthday party on Sat.

I saw the games Friday and Sunday. At least we ended the 24 inning scoreless streak in the first on Sunday.

I thought Davies pitched a good game after he settled down.

Motte made us look stupid on Fri. He was a little more hittable Sun.

How was Metro. I might have seen you. Next time after the game you need to walk up track to the next stop so you don't have to be packed on the platform.

I have never liked the new Busch. Not only is it retro, it is boring retro. Food, drink, and tickets cost too much and you have to spend the first three inning trying to figure out where they keep all of the stats.

Sounds like you live in a cool neighborhood. We ended up walking back to Union Station after the game to get the car. I'm not a big fan of the new Busch either. But I like St. Louis. We got downtown too early on Sunday, so we hung out over at Mike Shannon's party pad for a while. That was kind of fun.
