If I Hear Steve Berthiaume Say "The Nation" One More Time...

If I hear Steve Berthiaume say "The Nation" one more time, in reference to the Red Sox, I will...

Umm, I will be a very annoyed viewer. Or... I will flood ESPN's ombudsman's email with numerous well thought our complaints... Or I will systematically boycott ESPN's major sponsors, thus crippling the WWL.

I suppose there's some possibility that it's somewhat parodic of the whole Red Sox Nation thing, perhaps, but it's just annoying as hell.

especially when we know that it is

Royals Nation

It's not a parody

Count on it.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

It's not a smart enough

idea to be a parody. And I find it annoying, too.

I like to think of us

As more of a confederated union. Although “The Royal Confederacy” doesn’t sound good.

How about the "Royals De-centralized Federation"?

Just rolls off the tongue, no?

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

"Confederation" is fine

that’s what Canada is. And we all know that Canada is perfect. Remember, in the New Era of Historizing:

“Confederacy” = pure evil

“Canada” = absolutely good, with not problems at all, only those made up by the evil Fox Network

OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

Nice

That works. It even has a certain internal logic.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

My obligatory post?

I’m just stopping by….

Just stopping by….

The Nation at large.

Royals Empire

I think with the “Royals” moniker, we’re stuck with Kingdom or Empire. It would be difficult to be the “Royals Republic”—despite the alure of the alliteration.
