We are going to make this two posts into one. Monday night Julie was very excited because she was going to see Zack Greinke pitch against the Royals. Let me go back a few years so you can see why this is significant; when Julie first became a Kansas City Royals fan Zack Greinke was pitching for the team. He was very good and quickly became Julie's favorite player because according to her, Greinke had a bad attitude and so did she. Anything that had Greinke's name on it or resembled him Julie bought and even met him once which was an accomplishment in itself. Eventually Greinke got tired of losing with the Royals and said he wanted traded. This angered Julie and just like a jilted girlfriend, she ripped up and destroyed all of her Greinke items. Lance was very curious to see how Julie was going to react to seeing her ex-favorite player again.
We decided to take one of our friends to the game and we all had a fantastic time. Julie actually cheered for Greinke (which really surprised Lance because he was prepared for the worst) and she behaved herself real well. The Royals played extremely well and ended up winning the game.
Tuesday night we took Julie's mom, Nancy, to the game with us. We decided to take her to one of our favorite barbecue places,
Gates. When we got there Nancy made the rookie mistake of trying to order a Bud Light Lime. Once she said that the lady behind the counter and Lance both started laughing, and they then explained that this was a barbecue restaurant and they didn't serve that. It was pretty funny. Unfortunately the game wasn't as good as the food because the Royals ended up losing. It was a fun 2 games though.
