Nationals @ Royals, Game 1

[GburgNatsFan]

so stupid question. Is the team in Kansas or Missouri?

[TigerFan]

I returned my parrot,  he was dead.

Was its name Petey?

Missouri   

[GburgNatsFan]

Missouri

Thought so. two teams in Missouri. Huh.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

It's a rivalry of sorts.  The I-70 series, I think.  The teams played in the World Series.

I think the Royals are a tip of the cap to the Monarchs, so they are both tied to baseball history.

Very much Missouri - the ballpark is quite some way east of town.

...featuring Don Denkinger's blown-call-heard-round-the-world, and Game 7 with Andujar going postal and John Tudor anticipating Ryan Mattheus by over a quarter century breaking his hand punching an electric fan.

The Negro Leagues Museum is, in fact, in KC.

There is a Kansas City, Kansas just across the state-line...but the big city is KC, MO.

Are you sure he wasn't pining for the fjords?

the shop keeper said he was sleeping, I discovered that he had been nailed to his perch.

Sounds like an ex-parrot.

Lovely plumbage the Norwegian blue...and in the pic that started all the parroting

That's not a parrot that's a Parakeet!

[Displaced Bucco]

That's not a parrot that's a Parakeet!

Yeah, but there aren't any Monty Python skits about Parakeets

[OldChelsea]

Yeah, but there aren't any Monty Python skits about Parakeets

...if for no other reason than in Britain (where Monty Python of course originiated) a parakeet is generally known as a budgie (short for budgerigar; - remember the line 'vacuum cleaner sucks up budgie' in the Clash's 'The Magnificent Seven').

Let's win 10 more. And then another 10 after that.
