Royals Discussion Google Wave

I've been toying around with Google Wave recently and thought it might hold value in a Royals discussion format. I've created a general Royals discussion Wave, which could spawn some specific waves to discuss minor leaguers and such. You need a google wave account to be able to view the wave (I think) if you need an invite, I might have one so email me at

brokenbatsingle at gmail dot com

Here is the link to the google wave: https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BbJaD4UyED

Also, if this doesn't work, let me know. This is my first go with Wave.
