I'm not sure how the Royals managed to get sixteen non-homer hits off of the Mariners tonight, including thirteen singles, but they did, and the won.

Meanwhile, Sidney Ponson, who had slid from "tough luck loser" to "sucky pitcher" over the last few weeks, reaped the benefits, and had his best start of the season. (And probably his best start since this game, back in last May.)

After going 3-5 against the Mariners in '06, and 3-6 in '07, the Royals have currently won eight of ten against Seattle dating back to the beginning of last season.

Could someone update us with a new territorial map of the key swing state of Wyoming? I made this one last season, and it's now out of date.
