"Good Luck Lady" Takes On Brewers



KC Good Luck Lady - Pajet Monet
For those of us keeping score, Thursday, June 14th is an important day.  According to the superstitious, the Brewers will be up against more than the already excellent pitching and batting in Kansas City.  This time they will also go head to head with the so far unbroken magic of Pajet Monet.  For the past 10 games she has attended, if Monet is in the house, the blue team always wins.
Thursday will be the 11th game the charmed Monet has attended at the stadium.  Her last game ended and seemed to help turn around the long spring slump earlier this year when, no matter what they would do, it seemed like the Royals could not buy a win.  Her last appearance was on May 8 when the Royals struggled against Boston.  Late in the game, the Royals came from behind to win on the 3 run home run from Billy Butler.
Those of us at the game watched but could not hear what Pajet Monet dressed in White boots and gown said to Butler as he walked up to the plate.  All this reporter can say is that she was standing right behind home plate at the net, and as he approached she said something that caused Billy to look over and smile.  I wish I knew what she said, but I doubt he will ever tell.  The rest is history, and of course, Monet says her magic played some roll in the victory.  “I really believe in our team”, she was heard to say, “and they come through every time”.  Maybe we all need to have a little more faith, but for now, hooray for Kansas City and this fine ball club, and hooray for “good luck lady – Pajet Monet.
Like I said before, we can look forward to a great game tomorrow against the Brewers.  Monet says she will be cheering in the front row right behind the batter’s box.  Look for her in the traditional white boots and blond hair.  We will be more than glad to take another win, and that will move her stats of wins at attended games up to 11 out of 11.  Good Luck!
