The Kansas City Royals are officially in the playoffs for the first time since winning it all in 2015. Quite the feat for a team that lost 106 games last year. I've only been a fan for 54 years, so it's no big deal or anything.

Make sure to celebrate today's 76th birthday of my favorite baseball player, Royals Hall of Famer Amos Jose Otis. He's A.O.K.

@StephenKing I would have selected the same song, even if you hadn’t mentioned it. Dreadful.

@joncoopertweets Hopefully, not used as an adverb.

@emry_dinman Welcome from a fellow S-R staffer.

I guess the Royals' record of 8-0 to start a postseason was too daunting for those Houston Astros. At least Houston's manager still has a good buddy in Bill Cosby.

@SR_MadisonM @SpokesmanSports Thanks, Diego Castillo.

[Chris Derrick @srchrisderrick]

Just like last year, nobody's impressed that it's my half birthday.

[Chris Derrick @srchrisderrick]

Royals win!!!!!!!!! On the way to 162-0. #kansascityroyals

It's my "baby" sister's 60th birthday. That's a lot to contemplate.

@SR_MadisonM Don't know about the brownies, but Santa definitely appreciates the bourbon.

@laurynhenry28 I thought of other descriptions, but "passionate" will have to do for now.

@SR_MadisonM @vestal13 When you think about it, we’re as sparkly as Christmas lights.

[Chris Derrick @srchrisderrick]

@SR_MadisonM @kiphillreporter @SpokesmanReview Alas, I can’t take credit for that one.

[Chris Derrick @srchrisderrick]

@MsStaceyWard Yes, and I recall your supporting argument based on the team from Corvallis.

[Chris Derrick @srchrisderrick]

@SR_MadisonM But not as quiet as a cloistered monastery, I would guess.

[Chris Derrick @srchrisderrick]

@MsStaceyWard Make sure to work LC into the mix. Marrying a Tiger doesn’t count.
