<p><b>Royals win in extras again</b></p>
<p>The Royals <a href="http://kansascity.sbnation.com/2010/8/21/1634786/royals-white-sox-game-rained-out-postponed">played two against the White Sox</a> on Saturday night (and into Sunday morning) and then a third game on Sunday afternoon.</p>
<p>The Royals won two of three. All three went into extra innings. Sunday's ended with <a href="http://kansascity.sbnation.com/2010/8/22/1636393/zack-greinke-royals-white-sox">Jason Kendall knocking in the game-winning hit.</a></p>
<p>That's why the doubleheader on Saturday didn't finish until <a href="http://kansascity.sbnation.com/2010/8/22/1636025/white-sox-doubleheader-royals-extra-innings">after 1:00 a.m</a>. (it started at 6:00 p.m.).</p>
<p>The Royals have now won six of nine after getting swept by the Angels. They've got three against the Tigers coming up.</p>

<p><b>Turner Gill comes to KC</b></p>
<p>Turner Gill made his way to Prairie Village on Saturday night. I actually made the short trip over there to see him speak at the KU kickoff.</p>
<p>The problem?</p>
<p>Rain. Lots of it.</p>
<p>We could barely hear what he had to say as we were huddled out of the rain but <a href="http://www.kansascity.com/2010/08/20/2164181/turner-gill-greets-jayhawk-fans.html#ixzz0xQhRlOkr">here's what the Star says</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I know you guys wanna get dry, no?" Gill shouted over the microphone. "I like that because it’s just like a football game. I want to make sure that you’re gonna be there for the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter and fourth quarter every single game."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>KU fans liked to leave at halftime last year so Gill has been pushing for people to stay the entire game.</p>
