Obviously.......hence the change in the title this year to Defending WS Champion KC Royals. Gotcha. the humility and non bragging oozes.
I guess with 30+ pages each year for the last 3-4 y'all just wore yourselves out or the keyboards broke when the bus filled over. Who knows. Maybe y'all are just too busy buying shiny new Royals WS Championsjop gear......you know, to hide the modesty

Truth of the matter is if it was 30 pages again this year, it would be 15 pages of discussion and 15 pages of you giving your insight on new money, every 30 years, worst fans, this, that the other and ad naseum statistics that are slanted how you want them.
But hey...it is a free internet so tell us 50-11 more times and we might make at least 25 if we try hard enough

Oh - and another series win for the boys last night with the 14 straight win when the Duffster has started.
Four series wins in a row with a chance to gain another game on the Tigers tonight and a sweep to boot. Just have to try and put faith in Ventura and the pen along with the bats coming alive - all to get to .500 - which isn't where anyone hoped to be in August....but you play the hand that is dealt, and the .500 mark is the goal for now and then look forward to what could happen after that.
Vargas and Medlin are both rehabbing now in the minor system and closer to having a couple more starting options....Davis will reportedly be back next week most likely to make the 9th stronger.
One more on the road tonight and then back home for the Twins - which will hopefully help the record.

Slanted how I want them  ...........stats don't lie. Just like the number of pages here. Every team has injuries every season. It's how you respond to those with depth. Your depth got shipped off to other ball clubs last year. The rest of the depth, well apparently that part of the pool was a kiddie pool. There's always next year, or in the Royals case 2046

A sweep of the Tigers.....9 wins in the last 11. Looks like there might be a deep end in the kiddie pool 
And....as you say...stats don't lie - with that being said - the stats I just looked at said the Royals are the best team in Missouri......four games head to head with the other MO team this year and the Royals won three out of the four.....pretty impressive stat right there

Yep--that is a stat alright and if the season ended today
"The best team in Missouri" would be cleaning out their lockers and setting up tee times while the 'second best team in Missouri" would be in the play offs
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/wildcard.jsp?ymd=20160817
Each team has 30 games to go and the above may change but the odds favor the "2nd best team in Missouri" making the playoffs

Of course the 'best team in Missouri' just now got to .500 and earned the following:

Don't confuse who the best team in Missouri is with which team is right now positioned better to be in the playoffs this year...the stats you show above is playing teams outside of Missouri...surely you can't use statistics to make them play to your favor 
Now....since you asked....went to see my Mom this evening. Crossed the River at Lexington and low and behold there were four of them little boogers sitting on a pothole next to the big muddy. First ones I have seen this year. Cold front coming through Saturday I guess they are ahead of it a couple days.

Sounds like the old baby bears who used to say that they didn't care where they ended up in the standings as long as they beat the Cards
Thanks for the 'booger' report-- we plan on turning on the pump last weekend of August--takes a week and our luck the 'boogers' will find it and eat all the vittles before we get a shot off

I'd rather be lost than delusional, fence straddling bandwagon jumping fan. Don't worry come October you Westsiders can put away the blue for another year and break out you birds on the bat gear. Our bandwagon fans will welcome you with open arms.
Just helping get this thread to 10 pages for you guys packing the enthusiasm. Hell Vogler has posted once all year on the thread.........I guess if a potential free bottle of booze isn't involved, he doesn't have much faith in his team.  :howdy

Royals win their 7 hour game with Hosmer hitting one to the wall and a walk off hit
Royals 9-1 in their last 10
Like Mell and I were talking about
better a late playoff run than no run at all
Still-- that is a really steep hill to climb
(helping with the goal of getting to 10 pages )

Both look to be a crapshoot at this point.....but worthy of a run. Nobody would like to see them in the playoffs again than me and Dog.....but when you waste part of June and all of July for the most part it is hard to climb back in it.
Will see what they have in store. Big wins are fun but I hate to see them waste a ton of runs on a win tonight. It seems to come back to haunt them in the past.

No worries, dabs. Just reached 8 straight wins. Great defense, pitching and just enough offense to git it done today!!!
They's makin' a run at it. Hoping Royals can make interesting. 4 over.500 so that's a start.
Go Royals!!!

Yep--
we do appreciate getting all the help to make the playoffs even if it means the 'best team in MOMO' is playing golf at the end of the season.
