I watch more NFL than NBA but it doesn't ruin my day when the Cowboys lose. If either team makes the playoffs, I take more of an interest. I'm more invested in MLB and college football.

Originally posted by lambdacoug View PostMy Royals credentials: I went to school with Jaime Splitorff (who was our star pitcher in HS), met George Brett when I was with a friend and we knocked on Paul Splitorff's door to see if Jaime was there and Mr. Brett answered. Wally Joyner was in my ward, but completely inactive, my girlfriend babysat for him. I grew up watching Brian McRae's son be the star receiver on our improving BSHS football team. Anyway, none of that really matters. I was born and raised in KCMO. In 1985, my 5th grade teacher was friends with Paul Splitorff and invited him to come talk to our class after the 1985 World Series. He brought Brett and Saberhagen with him. It was amazing. I remember watching Garth and Dane Iorg play against each other in the ALCS (Dane is a BYU alum).
Anyway, shortly thereafter the Royals became an utter suckfest and many fans, myself included just stopped caring. The player stirkes, moving to Utah, and a mission abroad in Chile didn't help. Anyway, when the team of your childhood sucks so bad that it isn't a question of if we'd get 100 losses, but how quickly year after year, only the true diehards persist. I'm not a diehard Royals fan, just a fair weather fan now that loves to see my team do well."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

My sister tells me the Shawnee Mission School District (KC) has cancelled classes tomorrow during the Royals parade, citing "staffing concerns.""It's devastating, because we lost to a team that's not even in the Pac-12. To lose to Utah State is horrible." - John White IV

If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

lamda, do you expect KC to re-sign Gordon and Zobrist? I don't expect them to go after Cueto, because he will be too pricey."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

Originally posted by lambdacoug View PostNo clue, but the years of the Royals being basically nothing more than a farm team for the bigger market teams, I fear the team will be dismantled in the off-season.

Originally posted by Bo Diddley View PostI fully expect the Royals to continue to try to be competitive and spend a little more money. They've still got plenty of good, young players under contract that they'll be able to fill what holes that show up."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
