Putting Butts In Seats

The Kansas City Royals organization knows how to milk the hell out of a cash cow, and I love it.



Future American Idol 7 winner, and my future 2nd husband (yea, I said it), David Cook, will be the "guest of honor" at the May 9 Baltimore Orioles/Royals game at Kauffman Stadium.

But here's the catch: He has to live through the next round of voting and land in the top 3 for his Big Day to become reality. Umm, I don't think that'll be a problem, do you?

The Blue Springs, MO, native will get to throw out the first pitch, sing "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" during the stretch, and take part in play-by-play in the broadcast booth for a hot minute.

I guess when your stadium capacity is 40,785 but you only averaged 19,961 last season, you gotta do somethin' to get the American public to show up for your games. Me thinks havin' the hottest contestant on the biggest TV show makin' an appearance will put the asses in the seats.



And for shits & giggles, let's take a look at my man Elliott Yamin when he had his moment of glory at a gutter-butt Richmond Braves game a coupla years ago. Love him!!

R.I.P. Elliott's Momma

The unfortch "Taylor Hicks" season of American Idol was the first one I'd ever watched and I wanted Elliott Yamin to win sooooooo bad! I LOVE that dude!!

Elliott's mom, Claudette Yamin, passed away on Monday at a hospital in Virginia. She was 65 years old. The cause of death thusfar has not been disclosed.

She seemed like a wonderful person. Very supportive mom, and as a mom myself, I got mad love for her!

Hugs to you, Elliott.
