It really was electric to watch the last 3 games- I wish I had been out there but just couldn't since it's a good hour and a half drive on weeknights to get out to the K (that said, we do have tickets to 6 other games this year still). People were really excited out at the games. It's one of those flashes like 2003 that makes you know that if the team were actually competing, not even winning, just competing- there would be butts in the seat and an electric atmosphere.

I ALWAYS enjoy watching the Yankees lose to the Royals. And a sweep? Well that just made my season.

I will get a lot of mileage out of this one.

You're 1 S..L..O...W driver if it takes you an hour and a half to get to the K from Lawrence. We made it on Sunday (from Topeka no less) in 1:05 .

DOLA,

I better refrain my last post and say that we went to Worlds of Fun, not the K (no game there on Sunday)

That's Sunday. No traffic on Sundays. Try a weeknight and cutting through downtown on 70 or, even worse, going on 435 around the triangle- it's a giant snarled stop-and-go mess.

As for making it in 1:05 from Topeka, I try to stay under 10 above the speed limit since the cops could care less on the turnpike. That makes it a little under an hour drive on Saturday or Sunday.

Heck, WoF is even further. I doubt you were going anywhere near the posted speed limit

It's only about 2-3 mi north of 435 and 70.

I70: Topeka -> 435 (Kansas side) = 80 mph (plus ya gotta love the K-Tag)
I70: 435 -> 435 (Missouri side) = 85 mph
I435: 435 -> WoF = 80 mph
