A Beefcake Calendar, Courtesy of the KC Royals
Baseball April 3rd. 2008, 4:53pm
Here’s small-market baseball for you - the Kansas City Royals decided to put out a beefcake calendar, with the players dressed “casual.” Be honest - would anyone outside of Kansas (and Missouri, and the Royals dugout, and Royals Review) recognize any of these guys if you bumped into them at Costco? Hell, Gil Meche (under “Pull Out Poster”) looks like the guy at Staples who helped us pick out a new desk chair last week!

Does anyone outside of Kansas City even know they have a major league team?
April 3rd, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Um, I’m pretty sure folks in Kansas City, Missouri (you know, where the team is located) would recognize a few.
Odd idea. Reminds me more of the trading cards cops would hand out of Chief’s players back in the 80s. Don’t do Drugs and Don’t Talk to Stranger stamped on the back.
The Royals are 3 and 0. Swept the Tiggers.

Er … um … the next post will be more to your liking, KC.

Yes, yes, no, maybe, …oh, wait. Never mind.

Looks like an Eddie Bauer catalog circa 1994

Um, hi, Royals organization? Girls only buy calendars of guys if their shirts are off.

I guess this post is for sportsgal and guinessgirl

You’ll have to do better than that to impress the sports “ATM” gal

jb, if that’s the case, I’m severely disappointed. Not only are these dudes fully clothed, they’re not even that cute!

The KC Royals are soooooo hot right now - Mugatu

March 2009 is rockin the “thumbs in the pants pocket move”.
That is right out of the Doug Gottlieb playbook.

Was that photo shoot in a utility room underneath Kaufmann Stadium?

I’m kind of disappointed there’s not a ‘Beefcake’ category tag for future use.

This looks like a Hanes commercial.

@ sportsgal TBL should have just invited you to the gun show.

I believe the real question should be, does anyone inside of Arkansas not merry their cousin or sleep with their sister?
I guess only Bill Clinton, and that hasn’t worked out so well for him.

Wow, 3 and 0 and the royals get there own post. Guess we have come a long way….Now I underestand why the yankees and red sox dominate 3/4 of every newspaper sports section, blog, and sportcenter.

Wilson, not this blog. The Tribe, Reds and NL East dominate here.

Gonzo, I’ll see if I can’t slide in some of our midwestern bummed sports attitudes to the post. I’m sure they’ll perk everybody up. But how in the world are the Royals the last undefeated team in baseball. That defies all odds. Just let us have that until tomorrow. (see pessimistic behavior above) We just wait for bad things to happen.

and just so we all can understand. This is the type of clothing that we all wear out to the bars/clubs around here. Now picture the women in casual clothing as well. Around here that is GQ.

Gonzo - That’s it. I’m firing off a memo to Imig to ban those three teams from Yardwork next week. The only exception is a 3-homer game or a 1-hitter or no-hitter.
Fact: I’ve never been to Ohio, and that damn state cost the Dems the 2004 election. Oops, sorry about the late-night rant. Blame the TV dinner.

TBL eats TV dinners? How do you maintain your girlish figure on that diet?

You all can laugh at the calendar–I certainly think it’s funny–but the team is no longer a joke. I think .500 is within reach this year, as the Dayton Moore rebuilding program finally starts to pay dividends.

I think the question is… “Wasn’t 1 or 2 of the pictures enough?” Why would we have to look at all of them? I don’t care if it was a team I liked, that’s just unnecessary.

Absolutely dying. From a distance those look like crappy Fleer baseball cards.
