Gems from the Booth

Normally prefer your diamond gems to come on the field, but the Royals have one of the best tandems of announcers in Ryan Lefebver and Frank White. This past week or so they have had two amazing instances of phraseology. They must be highlighted.

The first came against Detroit. I don't remember what the topic was, and what Frank White said offers no clue as to any sort of context. I'm working from memory here, but I believe Frank's exact words were, "You gotta learn to walk before you can fall down. What's that saying? You gotta learn to crawl to walk. If you wanna run..."

Beautiful, I love it. Made the game worth watching.

The second came courtesy of our man Lefebvre. Last night a Red Sox ball girl took one on the chin and Ryan explained that, "Rule Number 1: keep the ball off your lips."

Sounds like Ryan's life isn't as spicy as it could be.

The Royals might be struggling but the comedy duo of White and Lefebvre keep rolling out the laughs. They're the Abbot and Costello of the Fox Sports Network.

When I acutally listen to a Royals broadcast, I usually hear Frank White giggling and Ryan trying his luck with dry humor... then i turn off the sound. Good job of finding a couple sentences that actually make (some) sense.
