A moment of silence, please

For the blog’s namesake, who lost his job yesterday. Colorado manager Clint Hurdle threw his first mate under the bus. Baseball is a cold, cold game, my friends.

The Rockies decided to shuffle some deck chairs, firing most of their coaches, including one James Quirk.

The bright side is he can return to his beloved Royals, or hopefully find a job as a manager somewhere.

The black armbands are out today.

Hello world!

Here’s my new blog. Blog, blog, blog, blog.

I’ve chosen the title out of my lifelong love of the Kansas City Royals and their cult hero, Jamie Quirk. If you’re not sure why he’s a cult hero, read the second paragraph of this Wiki page.

Naturally, this blog will also be filled with news and notes from my other lifelong love, the Kansas Jayhawks. And (of course), some thoughts on a bit of everything else, especially politics.

So enjoy.
