Never thought wade Davis would be the reason why we're going to win a world series over Shields

Crazy. But I'm happy for yall. As fans you deserve it. The city deserves it too. Now we just Gota get our Chiefs to win.

You know it's funny, I remember in July telling my uncle,who is a Tigers fan, that KC is going to be a very dangerous playoff team because of the shutdown pen.

One could make the case that the reason the Royals are even in the post season is because Rual went to Shields and called that player only meeting that turned things around.

If they go on to win this, Ibanez will be just as deserving of his ring as any other player.

Because he called a meeting? Ok.

It has been widely reported that the meeting changed the course of the season.

Gordon by a mile

He's not. Shields logged 220 innings of 3.21 for the year and we made the postseason by only 2 games. He was more valuable than Davis was only pitching 70 innings. Without Shields we don't make it in.

But in October, for sure.

Not even sure if he already has one or not but Dale Sveum

Ibanez got his chance at WS w/ other big market teams. Which is the reason I think Gordon deserves it 100% more than Ibanez.

He (Ibanez) was of little significance in terms of production on the field. Now sure he may have veteran leadership among the clubhouse and he can hold all the meetings he wants to...but IMO the players still have to perform. And they did...Ibanez mostly sat in the dugout and was a player/bench coach/veteran mentor.

Ibanez left for FA, Gordon stuck it out. Nuff said. However, I do like Ibanez. Nice family photo here:

Raul's a good guy, man. Love to see him as a bench coach or something next year. I don't really know how that works in the big leagues, I'm sure he'll have to pay his dues...but he's good for the clubhouse.

I wouldn't even be opposed to him being a bench bat next year for league minimum...but I don't know if that's a good usage of the 25th spot on our team.

Heh, you know it has to sting just a little as he was with the team most of the season.

The 4 most deserving people ?

GM Dayton Moore
First Base Coach Rusty Kuntz
Third Base Coach Mike Jirschele
HC Ned Yost

2 of them built the team while 2 of them have been in the organization a long time.

the thing I like most is ...

we didn't buy anyone other than Willingham to get us here ...

these guys ALL deserve it.

EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.

My favorite team ever.
