Rick Ankiel is a ROYAL!

Now this move makes me very happy. Ankiel is a good player and should help KC a lot in the outfield positions. He had a bad 09 with injuries and never getting going, but I know he isn't done yet. Maybe he can also give the KC pitchers some damn advice.

Ankiel agrees to deal with Royals - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

Former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher-turned-outfielder Rick Ankiel(notes) agreed Thursday to a contract with the Kansas City Royals for a guaranteed $3.25 million, including the buyout on a second-year, mutual option for $6 million, Yahoo! Sports has learned.

He will definitely help. Good score for the Royals right there.

Now I have to get Krystal an Ankiel Royals shirt to go with her Cardinals shirt. Glad that I can still root for him.

Hopefully the Royals lose less this year than they have the last several. Im ready to go out to the K

[thunder_alley1984]

I am too. I didn't get a chance to go last year, but I made up for it with a few Cardinals games plus a my first ever Cards/Royals game. Maybe us MO boys should do a night at the K instead of a race might be cheaper lol.

[ODSpice14]

Sounds good to me. Maybe go on a night they have a promotion going?

[thunder_alley1984]

Heck ya.

The last two years they gave away jerseys that were pretty decent for a freebie. I tried last week to see if they listed promotions but none were listed so far.

I got the Butler jersey from 2008. Love it.
