With the Jayhawks out a little earlier this year in the tournament, we do not have an overlap of the KU National Championship and Opening Day for the Royals. Yet I have heard very little chatter about the Royals. Yes, I know, they have been pathetic for the last 24 years, but still, with the new K and a promising spring, there is no reason not to get excited for the Royals home opener which is a week from tomorrow. April 6th, 1pm - against the Chicago White Sox - where will you be? Well, of course, no one has to seriously start caring about the Royals until April 13th, after Easter. Holy Week is no time to start a baseball season; neither is 3pm on Good Friday a good time for the Royals to throw out their first pitch. Can you imagine hot dogs and beer and play ball at the very hour we commemorate the Lord's death? Of course I am out for Opening Day this year. Instead, I will be on the KU campus for our living stations. But I'm confident the Boys in Blue will be in the hunt this year. Stay tuned!
