Get Royal Oh, how the worm has turned. A few short weeks ago, Royals fans were talking about a fire sale. Now, somehow, despite the team’s two biggest offseason free agent acquisitions essentially being busts, the 2015 Royals are within striking distance of the AL Central lead. Heading into a four-game set against the Twins,…
Five Things to Do This Weekend
Get Crafty Generally, it’s a good idea to be suspicious of anything that adds an extra “e” to the word “fair.” That pseudo-Olde Englishness just reeks of pretension.

This week is the Jewish holiday of Passover. Sunday, of course, is Easter. Both holidays are celebrations of rebirth, among other things. Whether you eat unleavened bread, hunt for painted eggs or just enjoy the feeling of spring, Flatland has a ton of life-affirming stuff to do around town. Like baseball. Royals home games have…

Sunday is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day. Seriously. It is. Which, if you think about it, makes perfect sense. All holidays, after all, are ultimately made up. So we’ve decided to invent a few of our own to help you have fun this weekend. Like Thursday, which I’m officially declaring National Root for…
