We Call Your Willie Bloomquist and Raise: Cede Grass Creek Now!

PrintA legendary Royal. Second all-time in Royals home runs. Third all time in batting average. Fifth in RBI. So badass that he twice hit over .400 and had 83 home runs in one season! Yes, your attempts to break the spirit of all Mariner fans by stealing such Mariner legends as Gil Meche, Jose Guillen, and Willie Bloomquist were a crushing blow to all Mariners fans in Grass Creek. But this response will shake Royals Nation like an atomic bomb. Only signing the great George Brett would shake the souls of Royals fans more than this bombshell.
Its now a formality. Why even bother. Grass Creek, Wyoming is Mariners country!

If you sign George Brett..
You might as well welcome.. Edgar Martinez and Ken Griffey Jr. to the royals haha..
and we will raise you a Jeff Weaver
Bloomquist. God? Or just an illusion? You be the judge.
The pot is still light
You need to give Sweeney a 2-year, $3M guaranteed contract in order to make things even. Then you can raise us by signing Mark Redman.

And then the Royals need to higher Bill Bavasi as Asst. GM
Jose Vidro should also be considered for KC’s dangerously low supply of 1B/Dh types

this rivarly is getting dirty
Meche started it
that was the ignitor
I wanna know what love is, I want you to show me
how do you know sweeney isn't...
a spy or a saboteur
Seattle is the din of sin, the blight by the needle, the hellhole by the sound.
You know where the best place for a mariner fan is?

We shall see, good sir.
Yes, we shall see.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
Eat it, Royals.
Grass Creek is ours for the taking.

You’d better hope that the siege of Grass Creek is short. For due to an unfortunate misunderstanding, when Sweeney was dipped into the river Styx only his heel made contact with the sacred waters.

Sweeney needs to actually make the Mariners
that’s step 1
right now, with Bloomy, Ho-Ram, Meche, Guillen, memories of Raul Ibanez and Olivo, the Royals have the edge
Having Bloomy, Ho-Ram and Meche
simply makes taking Grass Creek all that much easier.
See, the difference between Sweeney and those whom you mentioned is that, at least at one point, Sweeney was actually good.

go back to your coffee machine you effete ignoramous
Willie Bloomquist is a winner and the Mariners will find out just how much they miss him this season.
We’ve measured his intangibles and believe that he’s a sparkplug.
The Mariners won’t win 50 games this season. They’ll be playing in Oklahoma City by 2012.
Safeco will be an artifical reef by the end of the next decade.

There's really only one way to settle this...
Let’s go over the groundrules. Rule number 1: No touching of the eyes or typing fingers… AND THAT’S IT!

We need another 1B/Dh type
Trade you Bloomquist for him.
Pecota, watch over us.

Ummm... who cares about Grass Creek?
You can have it, and Sweeney’s 75 ABs, 2 HRs, and his bad back.
I think someone needs a refresher
on the history of the grand conflict, or take a peek at the Hall of Heroes.

when our teams are the Royals or the Mariners
is anything about them really worthwhile?

I think that's the point I'm uncomfortable with
Why do I even go to games or watch on tv? This whole joke tells me liking either team is pointless. Hell, even liking a good team is really pointless. I should find something better to do with my life than enriching fat cat baseball owners, and rich ass players with my hard earned money.
Sweeney is an important weapon, no doubt
But if this turns nasty, and i’m sensing it does, then frankly i rather have wee Willie and hoRAMBO fighting for me than the God-fearing pacifist.
The Allard Baird of incisive internet discourse.
PLUS, we have a huge intangible (that is until you feel it, whereby it becomes tangible and bloody)
Even though he is not a native Grass Creek warrior, we signed a mercenary this year. Meet Mr. Farnsworth!

Does this deal come with or without
Jason “Grim-Dogg” Grimsley’s “hidden treasures”?
Banny being Banny.
The Battle continues...
I just saw a short discussion over on Lookout Landing wherein some of those Ms fans are plotting to tempt DM with Betancourt or Balentein for Kila or Butler. May the riots begin.

local Grass Creek hero
There have been only 14 players ever to make it to the Big Leagues born in the state of WY and one of those players is on the Royals currently: John Buck
Do the Mariners have a home born WY boy, I think not. It will be ours.
