We still have a chance to get by the Twins for next to last, but I wouldn't bet the farm on that...

I guess we get back to what dominate means to you. IMO he's been pretty dominate this year, with both the bat, and the glove.

And all that gets you another 90 loss season.
Do you understand what the term "Dominate" means?

dom·i·nate (dm-nt)
v. dom·i·nat·ed, dom·i·nat·ing, dom·i·nates
v.tr.
1. To control, govern, or rule by superior authority or power.
2. To exert a supreme, guiding influence on or over.
3. To enjoy a commanding, controlling position in.
4. To overlook from a height.
v.intr.
1. To have or exert strong authority or mastery.
2. To be situated in or occupy a position that is more elevated or decidedly superior to others.

Again, the question is, exactly WHO is Alex Gordon dominating?
Nobody.

I don't care about Gold Gloves. I care about game winning hits.

Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this.

Besides, isn't Scott Boras his agent? Alex might ask Damon or Beltran for some "career advice" so he can continue "dominating."

Al Bundy · 09-03-2011, 09:41 AM

Gordon is dominating this year. The starting pitching has been the polar opposite of "dominating". THAT is why the team is going to lose 90 games... it all falls on the starting pitching.

For someone who seems to follow baseball so much it's staggering how little blowfish seems to understand.

This is what it all comes back to for some fans right now, and I can understand; we're sick and tired of losing and excusing the losses.

Right now, I'm willing to wait a bit more (one more year) before demanding on-field success. If someone doesn't believe that it's prudent to continue waiting, how can we blame him?

This organization has sucked complete shit for over 20 years. The fact that fans remain is pretty amazing, really.

This may be the first year that the future really does look like it might entail a winning team. The core is there. The Royals as young as they are have been like an engine that just can't seem to catch after it turns over. Next year I think all fans expect that engine to start running, something it hasn't done for such a long time

This. And people who say "same old Royals" this year clearly aren't paying attention. Realize the ENTIRE infield from catcher around to third is made of of rookies, other than Escobar who is essentially a rookie too. Losing is going to happen simply from lack of experience.

no it's not. It's a stupid f@cking question.

Royals are playing .410 baseball. Only TWO TEAMS in all of baseball are worse.

If you're happy with how this year has gone, God Bless You. David Glass loves you long time.

That's all I have to say about that...

Jenson71 · 09-03-2011, 01:49 PM

Nobody is saying they're happy with how this year has gone in total. We're saying we're happy to see Gordon living up to his promise. And we're happy with the bats on this team.

Its mindblowing to me just how low expectations have fallen for alot of Royals fans.

Quite the contrary. My expectations are quite high going forward. Like I said anyone who can't see the talent isn't paying attention. If you're not paying attention thats fine but when people lump what we have now... going forward... together with the really bad teams we've had... it just comes off looking silly and frankly stupid.

I can see they have alot of nice young bats. Thats great, but what difference does it make if they are not winning any more than they did , 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago????

Its the same old, same old for this franchise.
