i mean that's pretty fantastic.

It's weird to think back now on how much I hated him.

Being a Royals fan is great. Also, GE is great. Making friends here has been really fun. Was sweet to celebrate with _Fan and mocat tonight.

Baseball thoughts:

1. Ben Zobrist changes this lineup. Bird Poison can really set things up, and his ability to get on base makes comebacks possible.
2. Happy that luke hochevar gets to play in the playoffs, sad that Greg Holland can't.
3. Cueto. Guys are still hitting him, but he avoided a big inning, and got many hitters off balance tonight.
4. Rios is hot man. Hot. Why not him?
5. Hos slumped early in the month, and now is smoking line drives. He can win an ALCS or World Series MVP.

More thoughts to come later. LFG.

I really really really like guys like Paulo Orlando. Worked his ass off. Sure he's gonna make more money than me this year, but he's not gonna be a multi millionare from baseball. He was there when Rios was hurt, when Alex was hurt, went back down, came back up, and has been happy to pinch run, be a bench warmer, whatever. Happy that he gets to experience this.

Excellent points, cf3. My adds:

1. Moose is hot again and hitting big time in the clutch.
2. After a bit of rest, Esky's looking good at the plate.
3. Cueto and Sal are working better together.
4. The guys seem to have their fire back.
5. We're running a bit more, which is always good.

bones129, Moose has been great.

Stevesie stat of the night: This is the first time in my life that the Royals have won the division.

before the game this old lady behind me asked if I slouch. I said no. She said, oh, you're kinda blocking first base and I want to see Hos. You know what? I was happy to slouch for her, a KC ROYALS fan.

I think she changed seats tho

Loved seeing Andy McCullough doused with booze in the clubhouse. Also glad to see he enjoyed it.

So I may have just pitched the perfect night

Gates BBQ > Witness division title win > free championship shots at Quaff > sip champagne while watching DVR'd locker room celebration.

Stevesie60 · « **Reply #48395 on:** September 25, 2015, 01:00:50 AM »

Gates is the most overrated BBQ in KC.

You're right, but you DID put it over witnessing us win the Central.
