Notes from Kauffman Stadium 4/20

To celebrate my cousin's First Communion I took the trek down to the Kansas City for the weekend. And to mark the occasion I was able to take in a Royals game as they took on the twinkies. Since this was my first MLB game viewed outside of Milwaukee, I'll give my thoughts about the baseball experience.
We showed up right around game-time so I was unable to get a good feel for the tailgating situation. So I cannot comment on that. But I have yet to see any team in any sport that tailgates better than the Wisconsin fans. So the Kansas Cityonians may tailgate well, but I doubt it's as good as us.
Overall impression of the stadium is excellent. For a stadium that is 30 or 40 years old, it is still very nice and a great place to watch a baseball game. It seems as though every seat in the house is a good one. My group was split up into two sections onn the first level so I got to see the game from two views and both seats were great views.
The fans were quality. There were a lot of twins fans their and early it seemed as though the crowd may have been about 60-40 for the home team, but as the game went on the Royals fans must have showed up to the game from tailgating and it turned to about 70-30, max.
The fan-base did seem overwhelmingly young. A lot of 20-somethings at the game. It seemed as though the Royals games was the place to be on a Friday night before going on to whatever other activities they may have planned. And a lot of good looking women too. Most of the female fans were attractive, young women. Now any girl who is a fan of baseball automatically gets extra points, but these girls didn't need the extra points. Their support of the team and baseball was just the icing on the cake. This lead me to dub Kansas City the lost city of Hot-lantis. Miami, So. California always get props for their women, but KC is probably the most underated city in the nation when it comes to the proportion of hot women.
The game was a good one, the Royals won the game. As bad as they are and everyone expects them to be, they have a pretty solid line-up. DeJesus at the top, Sweeny, Tehan, in the middle. Buck(Hitting .444) and Reggie Sanders (still has power at 57) batting 6th and 7th with Alex Gordon (baseball's biggest prospect) hitting 8th is a pretty formidable line-up. It's the pitching that sucks.
There was one extremely disturbing aspect from the game though. Around the fifth or sixth inning, they rolled out three hot dog costumes in right field and raced them to the first base side dugout. A terrible ripoff of the sausage race. It was insulting. I hope as long as they keep using it KC stays a terrible team. I don't want to be mean, but there is no reason for them to have that race, none at all.
And my note in a previous post about how easy the hat game is, they have the hat game in KC and its even easier. No joke, they have three posts that the hats sit on and water sprays the hats back and forth and it's easily easier than Miller's game - which goes to show how easy this game is.
Besides the largely negative fake sausage race, I give the overall experience a 8.5 out of 10. I would say it is a must see ballpark and just a great place to watch a game if you're a fan of baseball.

A couple of quick notes on the Brewers. We need to win those games where its 2-2 in the ninth and we're at home. Giving up grannies to Biggio is not going to get you into the playoffs.
If there are any rumblings about Cordero not being the closer after his Sunday performance, let's nip those in the ass right now. You're closer is your closer until he gives up the lead. Did he give up the lead on Sunday? No. Okay, end of discussion, Turnbow had his chance and he didn't come through. He may get a chance again, but let's not throw Cordero under the bus, he's 7 for 7 this year.
