The Kansas City Royals  waited 29 years to return to the World Series and unfortunately came in second when they lost to San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Wednesday on their home turf in Game 7,  But now 
the rumblings are on two of their top players and their possible depature from the franchise. Both pitcher
James Sheilds and Designated Hitter/First Baseman Billy Butler.


From reports, Shields is now a free agent and although their have beeof resigning
him on for the 2015 Season, Shields reportedly is in high demand now that The Royals have made the World Series and is the 3rd best starting pitcher on this winter’s free agent market, behind Detroit’s Max Scherzer and Oakland’s Jon Lester. 
As far as Butler, The Royals reportedly holds a  $12 million option to resign him but there has been skeptism based on his production throughout last season and his age (29).

Guess we will find out before April what will happen.

UPDATE: A rally is planned for Royals fans on THURSDAY at Kauffman Stadium.

The American League Champions want fans to come to The K for a free event that begins at 11 a.m. FOX 4  in Kansas City will also live stream the event. 
Gates open to the ballpark at 10:15 a.m., fans need to enter Truman Sports Complex through Gate 2 or the bus exit near Gate 6 to park in lot J.

Another big sports story has been the passing of St Louis Carindals player Oscar Taveares who dies, along with his girlfirend Sunday in a car accidnet in his hometown of  Sosua, Dominican Republic. Respects for the young star had taken place Tuesday during the Wd Series and earlier that day, his funeral had taken place in his hometwon where reportely mor etnan 5,000  peopel attened inckuding his Cardinals collegues and owner John Mozeliak.
An official report from the local police said that Taveras died of injuries at the age of  22. According to stltodaycom,  Taveras had made his major-league debut with the Cardinals in May and had hit a home run earlier this month in the National League championship series. He was part of the organziation since he was 16.
On Monday, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny reportedly shared his thoughts about the tragic development after begging off Sunday because he was too overcome with emotion.
"To say this is a horrible loss of a life ended too soon would be an understatement,'' Matheny said in a statement released by the Cardinals. "To talk about the potential of his abilities seemed to be untimely. All I wanted to do was get the guys together and be with our baseball family. I know the hurt that comes along with buying into the brotherhood of a baseball team. That hurt is just as powerful as the joys that come with this life. …
"We loved Oscar, and he loved us. That is what a team does, that is what a family does. You will be missed, Oscar."

We here at OUTTOWN would like to give our deepest 

heartfelt condolences to Tavares' family, friends and

 colleagues.

Kanye West says no to perform in Sin City. According to TMZ, Ye was offered $4.5 million to perform in Las Vegas for nine days, but he turned down the proposition.
TMZ reportedly obtained a copy of the offer, which stipulates that ‘Ye would perform three shows a week, for three weeks, at the Axis at Planet Hollywood. That math works out to about $500,000 a show.
If he accepted the gig, this would’ve made him the best paid entertainer in the city (Britney Spears’ is a close second with about $475,000 per show).
Ye in Vegas? Cant see it.  Mars. Yes. LOL.


Former View co-host Sherri Shepherd returned to ABC on Tuesday and joked about The View's new co-hosts and set.
Appearing on Good Morning America to talk about her role in Cinderella on Broadway, Shepherd, w noted that both Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg had come to see the show, sharing impressions of both of her former colleagues.
After GMA co-host Robin Roberts noted that Shepherd had impersonated two of the View hosts, Shepherd went into an impression of Rosie O'Donnell.
She began by mocking O'Donnell taking off her shoes on the first show of The View's new season, repeatedly lifting one of her legs in the air and saying, "Here's my foot. I'm Rosie O'Donnell."
"I got sciatica in my back. And I'm going through depression. &hellip How many other ailments can I get? I got 12 more in the year that I'll be on The View," Shepherd continued, nodding and saying "There you go" at the end of her bit.
She returned to the O'Donnell impression at other points in her interview, but insisted that she loves The View and the new lineup of hosts and watches the show every morning, screaming at the TV during Hot Topics.
Shepherd also shared her thoughts on new View co-host Nicolle Wallace, saying that Wallace is her "favorite kind of Republican because she can be changed."
And she even got in a dig at the show's new set, which has changed since the new season premiered.
"They got a new set. 'Cause it was all white it was kind of like heaven, but they fight too much so it wasn't heaven. But they borrowed some of, kind of, the colors from GMA, so I'm loving the colors," she said.


Rapper Nelly  and BET will be networked again, this time with a "real" reality show on his own with "Nellyville."

From reports, the  eight part hour-long  series will  detail the rapper's rap and business  career, and fathering both his own and his late sister's children and his relationship with Floyd Mayweather's ex, MissJackson. 
Nelly , who stars in the mockumentary series "The Real Husbands of Hollywood" on BET,  executive produced the show  which will start airing Nov 25,  began taping late summer and was taped in St.Louis , Los Angeles & North Carolina where his NBA Team, The Bobcats, are located.

While we were on our BYE WEEK their were two stories that were noteworthy:





The 1999 Rams reunited at the Union Station , in downtown St. Louis on Oct 12. to commemorate the team winning the Super Bowl and subsequently dubbed, The “Greatest Show on Turf.”
The event was held as the 1999 Rams marked the 15th anniversary of their Super Bowl season.
Some of The Rams alumni who attended were Dick Vermeil and Mike Martz,, quarterback Kurt Warner (TOP PIC),  running Back Marshall Faulk and wide Receivers, Isaac Bruce (SECOND PIC) and Torry Holt (LASt PIC.
There was also a celebration during the Rams' home game at Edward Jones Dome when they played the 49ers  during halftime on Oct 13. The current Rams wore the 1999 throwback jerseys. The Rams will also wear their 1999 throwback jerseys when they host the New York Giants on Dec. 21 as the team celebrates its annual  Fan Appreciation Day.

Wonder if any of the past players were eager to get back on the grid iron to play a few yards and scrimmages. That would have been epic!

Michael Sam, was released by the Dallas Cowboys recently after spending seven weeks on their practice squad.
Sam reportedly has not appeared in a regular-season game. He was drafted in the seventh round by the Rams but cut in training camp before being signed to the 10-man practice squad for Dallas on Sept..3. The team reportedly announced the move on its website, explaining that it was intended to open a spot for linebacker Troy Davis, a second-year player from Central Florida whom the team brought in for a workout Monday. Sam, an all-American and co-defensive player of the year in the Southeastern Conference as a defensive end for Missouri, made his sexual orientation public after his final college season, in an interview with The New York Times. That sparked a wide debate over whether it would hurt his standing as an N.F.L. prospect because he was initially considered a third- or fourth-round pick.

We wish Sam well, but it just seems as though the NFL is having a tough time trying to sign him. Our question is, if Sam didn't reveal his sexuality, would he be signed and not play or just sitting on a bench waiting for his turn to play  because of his pick in the NFL?


This week Mizzou's assistant football coach  and radio broadcaster John Kadlec died at the age of 86.  w Over time, Kadlec, known for years as "Mr. Mizzou," 



ARTIST SPOTLIGHT


This week we feature Mitch Freeze of The Wanted Emcees

"THE WANTED EMCEES" originated in St. Louis, Missouri in 1987. Three best friends formed what they perceived as the "new" sound of Hip Hop/Rock.  By combining different styles from East and West Coast Rap Stars, while mixing backgrounds from Pop, Rock, and R&B, THE WANTED EMCEES created a sound that was very unique and different for the times. Some would even say ahead of the times for its day. 

THE WANTED EMCEES would perform for whoever would listen and entered every contest they could find. This persistence earned them the 1990 Title of Missouri State Rap Champions. They held this Title for two years through many competitions and battles.  They had a successful release of "KrackerJack" on their own label, CMT Records. The song received some marginal radio play in and around the St. Louis area in 1992, and gave the band some local notoriety. 

Over the course of time, THE WANTED EMCEES have refined their art, changing with the times, performing in the Hip-Hop Underground scene in and around St. Louis. There were setbacks, challenges, and triumphs through this time period, but THE WANTED EMCEES stayed true to the game, and never gave up.  THE WANTED EMCEES signed with Chained Duck Records in 2002, and produced an album with 12 songs. 

THE WANTED EMCEES have made a mark in the history pages of Hip Hop/Rap. MITCH FREEZE, C.D., and DJ KMT are the members of THE WANTED EMCEES, and can be defined as the BEST ORIGINAL HIP HOP TRIO with the deepest of old school roots.

SELFIE PIX


This week we feature Clear Channel radio personality Tammie Holland who shot this mad sexy selfie
of herself before a concert at The Peabody Opera House Sunday featuring Jill Scott and Cedric The Entertainer.


This week we feature STL based fashion show production assistant Vallory Lillo who was wearing a black sleeveless blouse, black and white print leggings, black boots and a black and white headband  at  Saint Louis Fashion Week recently held at Union Station in Midtown St Louis. She was giving a serious ethnic blend of
casual chic.




Why did POTUS make a point that he feel that he had to hug and kiss that nurse who was treated for ebola that she was OK? Why Spanky imply that Tyrese was cast couching for the Baby Boy role? And why did Tyrese respond with a video posted on social media with him wearing a fur and smoking a stogie? And why did Spanky rebut with a video parodying Tyrese video?  And why is he now saying that he lied about Tyrese?  Why did  Tiny get her eyes permanently changed to gray? Why did Suge Knight and Katt Williams steal that female photographers camera?Why is there a bacteria recall on baby wipes? Why are some people taking selfies with bears? Why was it such a big deal that Beyonce had hair bangs?  And why was Beyonce's mom backing her thang up on Jamie Foxx on stage recently? Why is Mama June trying to cover up the fact that her ex  was accused of molesting her daughter?And why is the police chief of Ferguson supposedly resigning?

ILLI MO SPOTLIGHT

The First Lady, Michelle Obama has done 

it for the Vine. FOTUS posted up a six second Vine video for healthy eating  saying “turnip for what?”, before 

nodding her head along to DJ Snake and 


Lil Jon’s Turn Down for What. 

The Vine was reportedly posted as part of 

a Q&A organized by the First Lady’s office

 on Tuesday afternoon to promote her 

“Let’s Move” healthy lifestyle campaign. 

The questions were collected from various 

social media platforms and seven of them

 were answered in Vine and SnappyTV 

videos posted to her Twitter account.

We think this was a great idea to use social media to attract a young audience and they live for the vine. So our question is, who's idea was it in the White House to use "Turn Down for What?" We think it had to be Malia. LOL


TWO ILLI MO related films are doing extremely well at the Box Office.
The latest is Springfield, Mo native actor/producer Brad Pitt’s tank tale “Fury” has started rolling with $1.2 million at late night shows  as of Thursday at 2,489 locations in the U.S. for Sony.
From reports Sony’s first numbers give a strong signal that “Fury,” will finish at the top of the box office chart with a $25 million opening from 3,155 locations.
“Fury,” which carries a $68 million price tag, was directed by “End of Watch” helmer David Ayer. It’s opening amid solid critical support with a 76% “fresh” rating on the Rotten Tomatoes aggregator site.


The other film  “Gone Girl,” that was filmed in Cape Giraredeu, Mo, has won back-to-back weekends and shown impressive holding power among audiences based on the same report as above story on "Fury.", It has reportedly garnered nearly $90 million in its first two weeks. Fox’s third weekend of “Gone Girl” and the opening of its animated “The Book of Life” are contenders for the second slot in the $16 million to $18 million range when Box Office reports are released Monday..




Rap superstar Kanye West is on the front cover of the 

August issue of GQ Magazine. In the featured story, Ye

  reportedly discusses his perfectionism.

 Yeezy, who also filmed a video clip for the magazine,  feels

 that everyone should utilize their voice to the best of their 

abilities.


“If you’re given a voice, if you’re given an opportunity to have

 a voice, you have to take that seriously out of appreciation 

for the opportunity given,” he said.

‘Ye then talks about his goals and explains why being perfect

 doesn’t satisfy him enough — he wants to go to a higher 

level.


“For me, it’s a fight. Most people are just satisfied with, ‘It’s 

good.’ Most people are satisfied at like just a 10, or 

something,” he explained. “It’s not to just stop at 10. You 

know, 10 is ground zero; perfection is ground zero. We need

 to take things to a genius level, that’s when you do stuff 

that’s perfect, that’s past what’s expected.”

As an example of this, apparently West styled his own GQ

 fashion shoot. He also re-tailored his pants to make sure 

they fit right for the shoot. At the end of the GQ video, West

 compares himself to the great painter Michelangelo.

“Michelangelo decides he wants to sculpt, there could be a 

bunch of sculptors that are like, ‘Oh, no, you’re a painter,’” he

 says. “But he’s Michelangelo. And I am Kanye West.”



Ye, well, is gonna be Ye-but it seems as though he is starting to become more of a parody of himself with his self-braggadocio-ness.  But its what feeds press and he is, we are sure,. smart enough to know that.



Kansas City is all smiles as The Royals earned a spot to play in the World Series winning Game 4 against the  Baltimore Orioles (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images).  The Royals, who are returning to the World Series after a 29-year absence, topped the Orioles, 2-1, in Game 4 on Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium to complete the AL Championship Series sweep and became the first team to open the postseason with eight straight wins  after winning the AL Wild Card game over the Athletics, sweeping the Angels in the ALDS and sweeping the Orioles in the ALCS.  World Series Game 1 is on Oct. 21 in Kansas City.

We hear that tickets to the World Series starts  at $1,000....many diehards were hoping for an I-70 Series with Royals and Cards, but it wasnt meant to be. Our question is, will Lorde's song, "Royals" be played during the Royals' home games.




The St Louis Cardinals' dreams to repeat its return to the World Series since 2011 ended Thursday when they lost to San Francisco Giants in the  NL Championship Series on a three-run drive that lifted San Francisco to a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals (who won only one out of the five games)in Game 5 on Thursday night in SanFrancisco.. 

The Cards came in third which is a huge accomplishments based on the injuries they had this season especially Yadier Molina. But we are sure come April fans will forget this moment and move forward when the 2015 Season kicks off.




St. Louis native actress Jenifer Lewis will join the cast of the hit ABC show “Blackish.” She will play Dre's (Anthony Anderson’s) overbearing mother, Ruby.The network described Ruby as such: “She smothers pork chops with gravy, Dre with love, and would like to flat out smother Rainbow [Dre's wife, Tracee Ellis Ross], who feels the same way about her.”
Lewis will make her first appearance later this season.

Oh yes, get ready for your Emmy Award, Jennifer because we know you will be the scene stealer for sure (ala Jackee 227).



We wish St Louis native and based rock pioneer Chuck Berry who turns  88-years-old this  Saturday.



ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Why did that NFL Cowboys player  Joseph Randall steal underwear and cologne at a Dallas department store? Why is people making such a big deal that Stevie Wonder is about to be a father of triplets , his soon to be 11 total of children? Why has Mario Lopez wait now to say he had sex with Britney Spears back in the day?Why doesnt the United States have a Surgeon General?  Why was Katy Perry chosen to be the entertainer during the Half Time Show for the Super Bowl next year?  Why does Halle Berry have such bad luck with marriage? And hasnt there yet been a verdict on whether to indict Darren Wilson in killing Mike Brown?
