nwhawk, Sorry to see Mariners bullpen implode against Royals, hopefully they will bounce back.
Well, it sure wasn't easy, but the M's finally clinched a playoff berth last night on a walkoff HR in the 9th. Still need to catch Toronto to get a series at home.

I like the line about "the Jayhawks and their tortured fans." Amen brother !
In fairness, Wichita's bigger than that. More like Topeka.
@Kcmatt7 For a while in the '90s we had the Smallville TV show, but people seem to forget about that. (I got a kick out of the fact that the creators of the show considered a town of 100,000 to be "small." Me, I'd just call it "Wichita.")
I've always had a love/hate relationship with the whole Oz thing. Earlier this year I went to the Smithsonian Museum Of American History in DC. They have a display of one of the pairs of Dorothy's ruby slippers from the movie. On the walls surrounding it are all the (well-worn) catchphrases from the film. We've all gotten our fill of hearing those lines over and over from folks who know little else about the state.
On my drive across Kansas this week for a reunion in KC, I stopped off at two places that are probably the only other pop culture things that non-Midwesterners seem to know about us: The World's Largest Ball Of Twine in Cawker City, and The Geographical Center Of The US in nearby Lebanon. (By the way, while in Lebanon I stopped of for lunch at the local market/deli, after a suggestion by one of the posters on this board. Not bad !)
This is nuts. A K-State team that couldn't beat Tulane goes into Norman and takes down the Sooners.
OU goes down. Texas falls in OT.
Enjoy watching your incoming losers, SEC ?
My aunt married a guy who'd played QB for the Sooners in the 1920s. He never mentioned it on our rare visits to their house, so I didn't find out until many years after he died. Looked up his stats not too long ago...his only win as a starter was against KU.
This is killing me.
I'm about to drive 1900 miles back to KC next week, but it's for a reunion at the SAME TIME as the ISU game (and I can't get out of it). Nobody figured we'd be 4 and 0 when they scheduled it. O me of little faith !
Oh well, RCJH !
Not exactly a Rembrandt, but WE'RE 4 AND 0 !
BALLGAME !!!!!!
THIS IS IT
UNBELIEVABLY STUPID
Has our coaching staff not paid attention to what Leonard can do ?
Leaving it up to the defense. We'll see
Too conservative play calling on this drive IMO. Need yards.
Time to step up boys
Oh crap. They got a QB too.
What is the deal with these effing refs? A flag or targeting check on every play it seems.
SACK U VERY MUCH
Another lame PI call. We need VAR
Minimal contact there
The only bummer is that ISU is losing. Would've loved a matchup of two 4-0 teams.
@KirkIsMyHinrich I'm pleasantly pleased
You can't stop him ! Hell, you can't just hope to contain him !
HALLELUJAH !
HELL OF A CATCH
No mistakes here
Brilliant call JD
Best rugby play of the year
Damn, another mistake. Stop it !
Another wasted timeout. Get it together guys
15 Minutes to go. Time for a Mitch Holthus call...
"Time to PUT...THE HAMMER...DOWN"
Didn't realize that was his first sack of the year. Tribute to the O line.
It's the Magic Bean play !
Okay Hawks. Time for a nice loooooong time-consuming drive for six, and we got this.
Thank U
TOLD YA
Hit him with the shoulder
BULLSHIT TARGETING CALL
OUCH
Lawrence of Larrytown !
IT"S A BLIZZARD OF WHEAT !
OK no more mistakes. Take advantage of the momentum shift.
CRUNCH !
Not the prettiest half but I'll take it
COME ON D
Damn, another injury. Going to be a game of attrition. And we aren't that deep.
Nice clock killing drive !
EXCELSIOR !!!
