My world is falling apart.  First of all, the Royals are looking inexplicably horrible.  And what the hell is up with sbnation?  I'm starting to miss the good ol' days before all the changes... will it always be this hit-or-miss?  Or are these recent problems an anomaly?

RR... not to be the anarchist of the family here, but damn... we'd all follow you if you decided to start your own blog independent of all this BS.

Finally, a friendly reminder that Emil Brown has 19 rbi so far this season.  That would be more than double our team leader's total.  Yikes, indeed.  I hope I wake up from this nightmare soon.

Hello Royals fans, 

I've been a little out of touch, and I haven't been able to get out to the K or to watch many of the games on TV, so I've got a few questions for those of you who are more in the know...

1. The new scoreboard.  Is it all it's cracked up to be?  For those of you who've seen it live, what impression did it have on you?

2. Jose Guillen.  I'd like to know if he's been booed by the fans at the K yet.  For example, last night with the bases loaded when he struck out (yet again)... any boo birds out yet?

3. FSN-KC.  I have been able to watch parts of a few games in between episodes of "The Backyardigans" and "The Wonder Pets" (you feel my pain, parents?), and I've been less than impressed.  The centerfield camera problem, when the fountain water sprays the lens, is inexcusable and easily fixable, in my opinion, but they don't seem to want to fix it.  Also, there have been a number of times when it seems like the production booth and Ryan & Split are on completely different pages.  This is frustrating for the viewer, and it seems like Ryan gets frustrated as well.  So what have been your thoughts about the television broadcasts thus far?  Are you hopeful that they'll work out the bugs and present a game in a way that's not so embarrassing for Royals fans?

OK, that's it... sorry for the mundane post, but I'm trying to get back in the loop.
