Mariners series preview: This battle means more now

Back in 2007, Freneau, the founder of this site, found futility in the series between the Royals and Mariners. So he invented a new rivalry - The Battle for Grass Creek - to give the teams something to fight for - the town of Grass Creek, Wyoming, which sits equidistant from Seattle and Kansas City.

This year, the Battle of Grass Creek may have some actual meaning as both teams have winning records a quarter into the season, with both teams having over a 70 percent chance of making the post-season, according to Baseball Reference.
