"And We'll Never Be Royal..." Kohawks at Kauffman

Just for the record, I'm quoting a music lyric from Lorde's song, "Royals."



This joke was cracked several times during our trip today, especially once we got to Kauffman Stadium. Our hotel was pretty close to the stadium so we didn't have to suffer through Lorde jokes for too long.

It was a pretty good game as well. Some odd things happened (like when Chicago White Sox player Ramirez slid into first base, well actually he slid but missed the base by several feet) or when the Royals attempted a stolen base in the ninth only to be picked off as the runner made his way back to second base (although he had no hope of making it there). The Royals were up until the fifth when the White Sox brought in three runs with a homer from Konerko. It was definitely unexpected but hey, that's why you play the game.

The weather was also beautiful. No rain and no freezing temperatures made all of us very happy campers.

We also had a Coe alum at the game, Jordan. He graduated when I finished my sophomore year and I got to know him through the Writing Center as well as Coe Review. It was nice to see him and catch up.

Tomorrow, we are off to downtown Kansas City to see the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, eat some classic Kansas bbq, tailgate at Kauffman, and see the Royals and White Sox face off again.
