That is desperately bad luck for whoever that Cubs pitcher was coming out of the bathroom just as the camera was on the bullpen. #Royals
I came in from a walk with #OrionTheHunterOfRattleMice to the hits and walk and that wildly annoying bit of miscommunication. Maybe I should head back out. #Royals
Part of the statewide numbers might also be selective turnout. Apparently only 54 people voted on a question in Excelsior Springs!
KMBC are saying that Amendment 5 has gone down too. Well done, my fellow Missourians! Now let's make sure there are electoral consequences in November for the dickheads in Jeff City who are pushing this crap whilst trying so hard to make voting meaningless.
The problem with machine-readable ballots is you can't write 'absolutely fucking not' by Amendments 4 and 5. Filling in 'no' will have to do.
Oh, hey, per the Athletic we also traded Bailey Falter! So no matter who we get, this is probably a win. #Royals
I got a survey from Fifa about my experiences and impression of the World Cup. I did not hold back. Mysteriously, at the end of it they could not record my answers...
The flowers are apparently climbing milkweed, which is next to and in some places intertwined with the grapevine. That actually makes more sense.
The house we bought apparently came with some grapevine, and a tiger swallowtail is on the flowers today!
#OrionTheHunterOfRattleMice cannot believe I'd interrupt him during a work call. He has absolutely never yelled at me, grabbed my arm, or walked in front of the camera during any of /my/ work calls.
I regret not wearing sunglasses, but otherwise this is nice. It's a little closer than the last football match I attended! #SportingKC

Apparently Nick Loftin's walk off bunt was scored a single. As much as I like Nick Loftin, no. This is a sacrifice and a fielder's choice. #Royals
This gives me a moment to post the video I got of Salvy's 316th though! #Royals
It is a very pretty evening at the K, but what else is new? #Royals
Belated #HeyHeyHeyHey! now that I'm back home. That was such a weird game. I got video of the walk-off, complete with my random screaming. #Royals
In 'facts I probably would have guessed'. Lane fucking murdered that ball. #Royals
I believe they cycle through red and orange, and maybe a couple of others, but yeah, they're regularly orange! I suppose we might have set them to stay on orange, but it's just as possible Ryan saw them at the right moment and thought it was intentional. This was last month:
It was bugging me where I had seen the guy next to the Mets manager in their dugout. It's their third base coach, who was first base coach for the Blue Jays in 2015. This douchebag, who was getting into it with our dugout: #Royals bluejaysnation.com/_next/image?...
Now Tyler is also a triple shy of the cycle and that might actually happen. #Royals
Salvy is one step closer to being permanent mayor of Dongtown! #Royals
More than I thought, to be fair! Lotta Philly fans. I kinda expected to be about the only person here, but the lot and concourses were about what it was yesterday. People were staying in the shade though.
Kauffman Stadium on a sunny day continues to be the most beautiful place on earth. #Royals
#OrionTheHunterOfRattleMice, approximately 0.4 seconds after I used the drinks break to make another gin and tonic. He got out of his cat bed to do this.
They're replacing the pole, so that's my entertainment for the evening sorted.
