Richard and I share a love for BBQ that goes back a very long time (Peebles BBQ in Auburndale, Fl). Kansas City is well known for it's BBQ. Take a guess what was first up on our agenda? He had a place he wanted to take me that I had not been to before. Naturally I trusted his judgment and as expected it lived up to the hype. The place was called Q-39. Although it was a little more upscale looking than the joints we tend to seek out it was fantastic!

We were soon on our way to one of the nicest stadiums in Major League Baseball, KaufFman Stadium. The Rays were riding a one game winning streak. The Royals on the other hand were coming in after a disastrous weekend in Cleveland where they lost three straight games without scoring a run. Their streak of consecutive innings without scoring actually dated back to the 2nd inning of their Thursday game, a game they also lost. After last nights game the Rays winning streak has reached two games and the Royals streak of scoreless innings has now reached 43 innings. They are now within 5 innings of the all time record.........a record I'm sure they don't want.
Win or lose. Streak or no streak. It was a great evening with two great guys!
