by now we should have driven them into Eastern Idaho.

7 in a row! the quest for 73 wins continues!

I would argue that the Battle for Grass Creek has been thoroughly won

…and now the battle moves westward, perhaps to Sugar City, Idaho. As the Royals already have a foothold in Idaho Falls, this is definitely winnable.

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

This team has bound together

amid utter clubhouse chaos and is learning how to win one step at a time.

Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.

It is a trap!

The Mariners gave up too easily. Tug Hulett. Jared Wells. Ryan Feierabend. There were more tumbleweeds than major league players. By offering only token resistance, they wanted the Royals to take Grass Creek. Trouble lie there ahead over the Big Horn Mountains.

you know what happened with the Nez Perce indians...

Neifi Perez?

Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.

Yes

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

Now that is a nice looking map...

I’d take one of those for christmas! (injects coy political statement)

As I often do

I will now clarify. I would like that for an EARLY christmas present… not like you guys didn’t know that.

It is ours for the taking

With this seven game winning streak i believe KC can sweep thru colorado and consume the land to the bay taking washington as well.

It takes 46 muscles to frown but only 4 to flip 'em the bird.

Colorado is tough

….as the Rox have strongholds in Colorado Springs and Denver. But Wyoming has been taken, and the Royals already have a foothold in Idaho Falls. I think Idaho and Montana are definite possibilities.

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

by NYRoyal on Sep 19, 2008 12:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, but think of all the inroads the Royals have already made

It’s like Seatlle part II: DMGM has already taken Shealy and Ramirez (who is a one man killing machine). de la Rosa has been working his double agent magic for almost a full season.

DMGM may not be much at building an offense (so far), but his excels at destroying the Royals’ regional rivals.

I don’t know if KC will win a division title by 2012, but at this rate, around that same time they are going to need to be renamed the Louisiana Purchase Royals.

The Louisiana Purchase will be ours

And you should check out DLR’s xFIP.

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

I think the gap definitely indicates he's a double agent

Shoot, they've already got me

a Royals fan from New Orleans.

So we’ve got that southeast corner of the Purchase done with already!

Grass Creek...

…yawn. The simple truth is that the Mariners suck big time this year, and we took advantage. It’s nice that we have the minimal firepower to take advantage, but we can’t even win the battle of Urbana-Champaign (with the Indians). – TL

Do we have an exit strategy?

We've been in this quagmire since 1977

…with no end in sight.

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

does the 7 game streak count as a "surge"?

by buddyball on Sep 19, 2008 1:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The surge has worked

Which either means we need to keep surging indefinitely or that we can stop now, depending on who you are voting for.

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

more surging =

Signing away Ibanez for 4/64?

Solving the “problem” at catcher by non-tendering Buck and trading for anhor-around-the-neck Johjima?

Of course we wouldn't have had to...

…surge if we hadn’t taken our eyes off the main prey by playing no-future players like Gload, TPJ, etc. – TL
