OMG it’s happening!
Almost nobody expected the Kansas City Royals to get back into the wild card race, let alone win their division. Just a minute ago they were seven games under .500 and looking completely done. Alex Gordon was a signing bust. Eric Hosmer was batting in the .270’s with 3 homers in two months and an under .200 average after the All Star break. Nobody was hitting but third baseman and Pablo Orlando. KC’s pitchers were giving up homer after homer with only Danny Duffey looking like a big time star.
NO MAS.
Yes, I counted the Royals out, so did the media including their home radio station 610 Sports.
We were all hoping for a couple good trades this fall and for the team to maybe play around .500 to finish off the season. HOLY MOLY, a 8 game win streak, all the starters look fantastic, our bullpen is now un-hitable again, even without Wade Davis. Alex Gordon has 5 homers in 4 games and his stroke looks like the second coming of Lou Gehrig!
Wow, September could be lots of fun.
Now according to Las Vegas stats, the Royals chances to make the post season are still nothing – 2 per cent. They have lots of teams to climb over.
However they are only 4.5 back from the number 5 team…meaning we win 5 and they lose 5 and we are in 5th place overall and a wild card.
Looks like this: Blue Jays 70-53, Boston 69-53, Baltimore 67-55, Cleveland 70-51…Royals are just one game back of Detroit. Royals are 4 games over .500 at 64-60. The Royals have 38 games left and likely need to win 25 of them.
Not impossible.
Not with the way this team is pitching right now. Uh, that works if the teams ahead of us don’t get hot too like Houston, New York or Seattle.
Now remember most of this run has been against the lowly Twins, worst team in our league. However the Royals swept a good Detroit team on the road last week. So it’s not a complete dream.
Don’t go buying any playoff tickets yet.
Let’s see how this next road trip to Miami and New York goes. A small losing streak would likely end the run. The numbers can get too hard and emotionally the Royals need to win almost every series they play. It’s nice to see them look like last year’s Royals one more time. Can they do it? They have before.
Now about Trump upsetting Hillary?
Not happening. The Royals have way too many teams to jump over before they move into the wild card spot.
Agreed but nobody in front is that awesome so the Royals still control their own future if they can keep winning…I’m with you though, I think even a three or four game slid would take them out now, emotionally anyways…they are running on emotion right now, can that last? Maybe, maybe not, nobody know I mean they have plenty of talent especially on the mound where it counts most. My guess is you’re right hill is still steep.
GLAZE REMAINS THE BIGGEST JINX IN THE WORLD!
EVERYTHING HE WRITES ABOUT GOES HAYWIRE
AND IS ALWAYS WRONG.
He write about the chiefs being bad…they have a great streak.
He writes about royals being crap…and they go on winning
streak.
He says Romney will win and his jinx causes Romney to lose
big.
Right after his article about how great DUMPSTER IS…
dUMPSTER’S CAMPAIGN DIES…LITERALLY DIES
AND DUMPSTER IS ON WAY TO BEING BEAT BADLY
BY HILLARY.
Glaze says royals are good…they hit a bad streak or someone
major gets injured.
Glaze says chiefs are bad…they win big/and get into playoffs
and win first playoff game in years.
GLAZE…STFU….your penchant for being wrong is historic.
Please now write an article about how bad the royals are
and they’ll maybe win another world series.
In all my days of sports/political commentary I have never
seen one guy blow so many calls and predictions ever!
YOU’RE A JINX….don’t mention Harleys name…don’t mention
franks name….keep us out of your columns.
YOU ARE STRAIGHT UP ONE STUPID IDIOT WHO RAINS
ON EVERYONES PARADE.
p.s….saw the column you wrote on kacie mcconnel on tonys
blog….those people were more brutal toward you than Harley
ever was…but in reality…they were all right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in other words…..stick to comedy (if you can) and leave the
real writing to those who have abrain.
HARLEY IS KING….HARLEY REIGNS….GLAZE JUST WILTS
AWAY WITH CRAZY/FOOLISH B.S. that is becoming worse
than anything in the kc star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO AWAY….Let’s do a crowdfund page to move glaze
to Topeka with hearne. I’ll drop in the first $20.
I love Pablo Orlando. And Danny Duffey.
Screw proper spelling, though, or knowing basic things like “the names of the guys on the team I’m writing about.”
Danny did have that e in it sorry, Pablo was correct, uh I think I do know their names…but thanks for the correction..Gregg Glayzer.
CG, you really know it isn’t Pablo, right?
Uh yeah Paulo…Pablo is our comic Pablo Francisco…hah..yes my fault…
And you do know it’s “Cregg” not “Gregg”?
“Look Out, Here Come the Royals!”
– tantamount screaming ‘the sky is falling the sky is falling!’ (or, nod Sam Kinison – “it was light it was dark, it was light it was dark”… Kerouac realizes you don’t write these headlines, CG… rest easy.)
Apropos describing the up & down fraud-royals, last year’s fluke replaced affirmation this year’s sobering reality. As their fellow over-hypes football swiss, no happy ending in store once more, per the usual. Speaking of said, they’ve been walked on two weeks in a row, their first-team defense living up the ‘swiss chiefs’ connotation.
Last year’s over-hype ‘toast’ peters is already in mid-season form, beaten deep for a td sans a backup QB’s overthrow & beneficiary a gift int due a late throw on another. And this year’s ‘jessie haynes’ award offense goes to ty’week’ hill, who burns up the practice field when un-padded only to wilt like a 10¢ orchid opposition shows up and local hype is replaced by legitimate NFL talent across the line (‘choking the life’ out of his game as it were, bad pun intended.)
In fact, only a blown call (maclin foot was not in bounds his catch just before the swiss lone td) gave their first team their one score/gift td vs SEAT. Yet, once again ‘we are Superbowl bound’ here KC. So to recap: fraud-royals are done, soon enough the swiss chiefs too… rigor of a rite, x2.
1 Broncos still head & shoulders above everyone else
2 The up and coming Raiders nipping at their heels
3 Chargers still have QB Philip Rivers if little else
4 swiss are still the swiss/’waiting till next year’
🙂
It’s pre-season football idiot. Nobody cares and nobody watches. The fact that you did, and then had the audacity to recap and comment on, confirms your status as a LOSER.
Having a bad (1969) half century are you, Shawna?
“Nobody cares and nobody watches.”
– it’s Nobody’s world – we’re all just living in it. Nobody like him.
To wit: there was an important job to be done & Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but, Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
As with the swiss chiefs/fraud-royals… The End
1969*
1985*
2015*

You talk funny …
hey kerowacky…hows that trumster dumpster prediction going for you
these days?
Guess what! No wall. 11 million Hispanics get to be citizens.
You were wrong on royals….You’re wrong on dumpster the trumpster!
Hey Craig is Pablo Francisco still around? That dvd he had out years back was good shit!
And now… playing outfield for the Kansas City Royals… Enrico Palazzo!
The Royals are a statistical long-shot to make the playoffs, just like two years ago. They don’t look like a team that can go 27-11 from now until season’s end, but you never know. At the very least they’ll be playing meaningful games in September.
AGREED +1
Forget the wild card, the division is the thing. Their best chance to reach the playoffs is to win the division. The Indians have not had anyone pushing them all year. Let’s see how they handle the pressure of an honest to goodness pennant race. Siting 8 back with 6 games head-to-head still to go…I like our chances. A sleeping giant may have been awakened. Should be fun.
Yes that makes sense Shawn…Cleveland is no rock star team by any means and the Royals seem to have their number…lets see how they handle this road trip.
agree with both of you… we need to see the winning sustained over the next two series… we have the talent… a late, serious charge would be exciting…
just wish cleveland would slip a little…
LOOKOUT GLAZA/CHUCKLETS/SOUTHERN MAN/WISLON/WHINEY/KEROWACKY………
HERE COMES HILLARY:
todays update:
CONMAN TRUMP RIPS OFF DONORS. CHARGES CAMPAIGN TRIPLE FOR
CAMPAIGN OFFICE WHEN PAID BY DONORS THAN WHEN HE “self funded”
HIS CAMPAIN. Way to go dumpster. Spit in your supporters faces. Stiff your
supporters by overcharging your campaign now that someone else is helping
to pay your campaign costs!
CONMAN CANCEL 3 CAMPAIGN STOPS: He’s low energy. Can’t keep up with
Hillary and her never ending energy. Trumps a big pu$$Y
conman DUMPSTER cutting back on staff. LET GO COMMUNISTY SYMPATHIZER
KREMLIN SPY MANAFORT. MORE COMMIE SYMPATHIZERS REMAIN ON
HIS STAFF.
HIRES HOLOCAUST DENIER WHO SAID HOLOCAUST COULD NOT HAVE HAPPEND SINCE “the ovens weren’t big enough to kill 6 million Jews”. I’m
sure chuckles had to agree with that intelligent statement because he said
BURN THE JEWS. But if the ovens weren’t big enough Chuckles how could
so many people be exterminated. And then Glaza (a jew) calls chuckles a
REAL MAN……how disgusting and a smear to your family glaza.
HILLARY IS ON WAY TO WINNING…..538/rEAL clear politics has her over
270 electoral votes…way over…….an headed to big victory.
HARLEY WAS RIGHT….HARLEY KNEW THE NUMBERS….HARLEY REIGNS.
HUGE WIN TONIGHT FOR KC…1-0 OVER A DECENT MIAMI TEAM …UH OH…5 OVER AND IN IT FOR REAL…AFTER THIS ROAD TRIP LOTS OF GAMES WITH TWINS AND WHITE SOX…ITS STARTING TO LOOK GOOD FOR THE BOYS IN BLUE..they need a winning road trip…good start.
It was light it was dark, it was light it was dark
‘Wait till next year’
🙂
Please stop writing articles on things you know NOTHING about.
I don’t thats funny thousands except you think I do….Hater Jack get your own blog…write what you want….hows that.
CG, stop doing stories and all will no longer feel obligated to explain to you why you’re an idiot.
The only idiot is you and a couple haters…odd my stories get more comments than other writers on both places. When you are a troll and you are, like all the crap you wrote on the Landham story…lets see I didn’t chair Red Fridays, not a board member of a charity for ten years, on and on…all straight up hate lies, what can I say…and all of those hate lies were stories covered in the media over and over and over and over and over kinda like what you do…if you yell long enough someone might listen…my suggestion Fat Jack is don’t read my stories and don’t comment…hows that
CG; odd my stories get more comments than other writers on both places.
Fact is: you have made almost half the posts yourself on this story. So padding the posts with your own comments isn’t a true count that readers like your stuff. As for the other place, I guess you mean your clubs website?
CG; like all the crap you wrote on the Landham story?
Fact is; I took what you said and did a little research myself, and guess what, what you said and what I found out didn’t add up. It appears that I’m not alone about pointing out what you said not always being fact. If the stories were covered in the media that much besides this site, then there would be paper trails 100 miles long.
Fact is; it appears the only one who spreads the most hate around here is you. It appears you have a huge issue when people questioning what you say and you can’t back it up with any facts other than to say it’s been covered everywhere in the past
CG; social media flames the hate…people are unhappy, mad, huge problems,
Fact is; yes that’s a fact, you do have a tendency to irritate the people. So we speak out and you go nuts, calling folks trolls, haters, and what not. Fact is, the people are getting tired of being lied to and told half truths. Very few people can totally predict how any sports season will go. When was the last Presidential election held where one party is facing so many accusations from possible theft to money laundering and out and out, lying? People are tired of being lied to and not seeing any accountability in our media or politicians stories or public comments
.So you see maybe I and some others have a reason to be fed up and showing a little hate back at you.
Well no name moron what exactly do you think was not true. My Chairing Red Fridays? No press huh, than you are an idiot, even Hearne wrote maybe 20-30 stories on it…yes Jim Shultz and the Red Coaters started the event…THEY CAME TO ME TO MOVE IT TO WESTPORT, ONLY ABOUT 250 THOUSAND PEOPLE KNOW THAT…it was in 93 went to 98, we did OUTLAW RED FRIDAY THE LAST COUPLE TO THE OFFICAL ONE IN RIVER MARKET THEY DREW SEVERAL HUNDRED WE DREW THOUSANDS…THEY HAD LIKE 3 PLAYERS WE HAD LIKE 25 AND JOE MONTANA..ON AND ON…CELEBRITIES INCLUDED BOBCAT GOLTHWAIT, PAULY SHORE,PLAYBOY PLAYMATES, CHIEFS CHEERLEADERS, DJ RANDY MILLER, ON AND ON…BANDS DAVID NASTER ON AND ON..THE FIRST SEVERAL HAD CARL PETERSON, LAMAR HUNT…PLAYERS AWARDS, TV COVERAGE, KC STAR YOU MISSED ALL THAT…GEE I’M SORRY…like I said quit reading all my lies…lets see do I have to list my credits again. I’m not…I’ve had more Star stories than most anyone not in sports or politics, a fact, thousands of stories…plastered on the walls at Stanfords..well known from magazines to national press…you are a MAJOR ASSHOLE I DON’T HAVE TO MAKE UP ANYTHING…YOU DO.
Let me give some trolls and die hard fans a clue…as 610 went over in length yesterday on the Royals: Sam the man of the KC Star wrote a headline that the Royals would not make the playoffs…so the hate came at him..one he wanted some attention to his story and two he is likely correct though fans don’t want to hear it..so now he’s an idiot, right? As the 610 boys explained most media people who predict what will happen in the NFL, NBA, MLB and all sports are often WRONG…few get it right on a regular bases..I’m good with NFL and College football some seasons, some not..as we have seen, I don’t bet or really predict baseball…just watch and cover the Royals…NOBODY I MEAN NOBODY PREDICTED 2014 ROYALS WOULD BE IN A WORLD SERIES…NOBODY so thats the fact guys.
Haters hate, trolls troll, they don’t change NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY OR DO…never…you think Super Dave would ever side with me on anything? Uh no. He’s a pro troll/hater…one of many…regular writers who include stories on themselves and most don’t especially sex or media events..get jacked…I am one of the very few who write about things I do myself…good or bad…thus the intense hate..as we saw this month on the cover of I believe Time….social media flames the hate…people are unhappy, mad, huge problems, I understand so they take it out on the computer comments way it is. Won’t change.
glaze: you’re the hater.
You hate when anyone points out how wrong you are on every single
sports/political issue.
You’re just a lame brain fool to put it in writing.
Go to tonys and they tell the truth about you there.
Most of us here at kcc don’t really know you.
One thing we know: You’re a dumb f*ck! Even kerowacky has turned
on ya. You know nothing. You are wrong every time. And you’re a jinx.
Hey that says it all.
You don’t write good stories. You write about jr. licking your b*lls.
That’s sick@!
The fraud-royals are now 9th, and soon will be 10th in a post season field which will only include 5 teams. We can stick a fork in em now, even the most virulent strain of homer cannot deny they’re kaput. Cue Dandy Don – ‘turn out the lights the season’s over’…
🙂
K looks like you are right, too big of a hill and losing 4 of 6 didn’t help..Twins and Sox stink but they likely will beat the Royals a few times..so its not looking good. Gallant run by Royals but too late and with a long streak like that you run out of steam for a minute, they did. They can’t lose many more…so not good right now.
Proof 1001 why the local sports media sucks.
http://www.royalsreview.com/2016/8/24/12618380/apparently-billy-butler-had-some-clubhouse-issues-in-kansas-city
Seems like Billy Butler was selfish/me kind of a guy and sort of a locker room cancer. But damn if we were ever heard about that from the Star, 810 or 610 in the eight years he was here. All we heard was, “County Breakfast.” Or the media shilling his BBQ sauce. Or how great it was that we booed Robinson Canó because how dare he NOT put Butler who really wasn’t a power guy in the HR Derby.
I wonder what the local sports media isn’t telling us right now?
where’s southern man? where’s the story on your boy and alt right leader
dumpster trump?
come out come out wherever you are!
get ready for an a$$ whooping!
