He wants his bit back.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Friday, just before the beginning of the twice-yearly snooze-fest that is the Cardinals playing the Royals, a series that might as well be the World Series to the craptastic (though, admittedly more talented than usual) Kansas City Royals, &lt;a href="http://www.kansascity.com/2011/05/19/2888582/how-kansas-city-and-st-louis-compare.html" target="_blank">the Kansas City Star choose to run a link-bait piece ripping St. Louis&lt;/a> by Sam Mellinger. It really wasn’t all that original, and frankly was kinda sad since their St. Louis counterpart ran a piece &lt;a href="http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/article_388d15f8-8303-11e0-bf98-001a4bcf6878.html" target="_blank">begging it’s readers to not hate the Royals, but feel sorry for them&lt;/a>. Good for the Post Dispatch! Largely ignoring a hollow attempt at comedy and instead ask for pitty for the very nice, but clearly lesser, of the two Missouri cities. Don’t play their game and stay right there on the classy side of the moral ground.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>What Do the Cardinals and George Brett Have in Common?</title><link>https://punchingkitty.com/2010/06/28/what-do-the-cardinals-and-george-brett-have-in-common/</link><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:00:49 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://punchingkitty.com/2010/06/28/what-do-the-cardinals-and-george-brett-have-in-common/</guid><description>&lt;p>After getting killed 10-3 in the last game of the three-game set in Kansas City over the weekend, one could say the Cardinals officially crapped themselves in Kansas City.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>That’s ok though. Kansas City Royals Hall of Famer George Brett says you’re good for one of those at least twice a year.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;em>Editor’s Note: NSFW audio…by which I mean, just put on headphones. We’ll tell  you if the boss is coming.&lt;/em>&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>You Won’t Miss Rick Ankiel, He’ll Be Back Every June as a Royal</title><link>https://punchingkitty.com/2010/01/21/you-wont-miss-rick-ankiel-hell-be-back-every-june-as-a-royal/</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Jan 2010 05:35:09 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://punchingkitty.com/2010/01/21/you-wont-miss-rick-ankiel-hell-be-back-every-june-as-a-royal/</guid><description>&lt;p>&lt;a href="http://punchingkitty.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/rick_ankiel.jpg">&lt;img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2877" title="rick_ankiel" src="http://punchingkitty.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/rick_ankiel.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="223" srcset="http://media.punchingkitty.com/wordpress/2010/01/rick_ankiel.jpg 363w, http://media.punchingkitty.com/wordpress/2010/01/rick_ankiel-300x230.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px" />&lt;/a>Rick Ankiel has come to an agreement to play with cross-state pseudo-baseball team the Royals.  Soon Royals fall in love with Rick’s ability to hit the occasional beautiful home run and the breeze in center field he provides on most at-bats for those steamy summer night games.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>Ankiel with make $3.25 million next year because he wasn’t very good last year and didn’t play that much.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Links: Because We Were Writing a Long Post All Night</title><link>https://punchingkitty.com/2009/11/19/links-because-we-were-writing-a-long-post-all-night/</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:00:25 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://punchingkitty.com/2009/11/19/links-because-we-were-writing-a-long-post-all-night/</guid><description>&lt;p>Here are  a few links form around the Lou-net:&lt;/p>
