Yesterday was a pretty busy day that ended with a late-night run with some friends to Potter’s House (a good place to get some coffee), so today’s entry will be a fairly short one. However, I’ve done quite a bit of planning and thinking in the past week about how KRB can take the next step towards becoming one of the leading Royals sites/blogs on the internet, and I’d really like some opinions and ideas from you, my oh-so-loyal readers. I’ve been working on setting up a couple of interviews with members of the Royals family, so that’s a start.
After watching some clips of the Royals’ mini-camp that was held earlier this month, John Buck appears to be a person who’s going to be the next KC player after Michael Sweeney wearing a "C" on his uniform. From the perspective of an outside observer, Buck played like a take-charge kind of guy from July to September, has continued to show off his work ethic by being in Surprise in January, and speaks like a leader. If he can improve his plate discipline a little bit, John’s going to be a heck of a good two-way player at catcher for the Royals, and an even better role model for younger players down the road.
If you haven’t seen this movie, I’d strongly recommend going to your local video rental store and checking it out:
Maybe I’m just a sucker for stupid Leslie Nielsen-style humor, but Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. The entire plot is pretty genius, being based on two guys and the lengths to which they’d go to eat some White Castle hamburgers. In a way, it’s a story that could be loosely based on my senior year in high school. During journalism class, the three people who sat at my table and I would sign out of the room to "sell ads" to local businesses for our school paper, only to hop into my buddy’s Toyota Tercel, not actually sell ads, and go somewhere for lunch. That probably isn’t very impressive on the rule-breaking impact scale, but it was a thrill for us to work the system. The food destination changed with almost every trip, but every outing was a quest for fun right smack dab in the middle of the school day. Good times.
Have a good weekend!
