Ken Harvey was definitely worth the price of admission.

One of my earliest baseball memories is of Ken Harvey belting a walk of homer and Bob Davis on commentary saying, "DO YOU BELIEVE??", or something of that nature. I wish I could find video of that moment. :(

My favorite Ken Harvey memory was him being eaten by the tarp.

Btw Chiefspants it's "without further ado". You bid adieu.

It's nice seeing us come back late since that was sorta our reputation the last several years.

Checking into a Royals thread for the first time since the season started ... weird to be doing this so late!

First series obviously was disappointing, almost as disappointing as Strahm's start to the season. But even despite the collapse by the pen yesterday, still nice to come back and win a series against a good team on the road, following that opening sweep by Minnesota.

I'm encouraged by the starting pitching so far... Duffy looks to be picking up where he left off last season, Vargas looked very vintage in frustrating a very good Astros lineup for six innings, and Karns was solid yesterday. Need a little more from Hammel and Kennedy, but they're pretty known quantities.

Been a long/tough week for me... moving into our new house + craziness at work + toddler twins makes for me having watched just one game start to finish so far.

Definitely ready to relax a little and watch some games.

On the night of March 17, Duffy found himself in San Diego, preparing to start for the United States against the Dominican Republic at the World Baseball Classic. The game would be win-or-go-home, perhaps the most important start of his career. Duffy could barely control his nerves. But as he slept that night, he says, he found himself sitting in a car with Ventura.

The memory is a blur, as most dreams are. But Duffy can remember it all. Ventura is wearing dreadlocks, he says, extensions of the ones he had in the 2014 World Series. He is speaking perfect English, too. There is just enough time to ask a question or two.

“I was like: ‘Man, why did you have to leave us, dude?’ ” Duffy says.

The dream finishes in an instant. Ventura calls his friend “Papi.” He tells Duffy that he is in a better place. As he sits still in the car, he says: “I’ll always be with you.”

“And then I woke up,” Duffy says. “It was like weird. I’ve never had a calmer game in my life.”

Man, that gave me freakin' chills and made me a little misty-eyed.

You sure about that? The last one I started, we didn't get our asses kicked as bad as the previous two games.

My mojo is suspect.

But if that's what y'all want, I'd be happy to oblige.

So no one else wants the game thread today?
