You post on The Shack way to much

No such thing, plus...I'm almost 14 years in with only twice as many posts as here. What's your TB name? You should participate if you don't. Good times.

She's NorCal, but I know it's a losing proposition. I was drunk when I even made it sound like a possibility.

Yeah, I read The Shack like an addiction.

Me too, me too.

Gotcha. If you are who I think you are you should hang out more here, we need some decent folks. It's a frickin war.

I appreciate that you fight the good fight. I only sit and watch from afar.

Soon, ye shall board the Flagship, unwieldy as she may be, she shall be your trophy. Bask yourself in the glory, the Armada is behind you and has already set to sail. Expect to fight until September time, for until then the the almighty reign will be yours.

Upon thee a ship will be on the horizon.

I bumped it. Too much fun!

KC...what's going on with the Royals this year? I haven't followed them closely this year, and I know spring training is just spring training, but I really though KC might do something this year. Lack of pitching? Bats? Fielding? Some combination?

Well for one, we are the Royals. I was born after 1985 (which is also the last time we even MADE the playoffs) and I have become completely convinced we will never make it back there again. So simply the fact that we are the Kansas City Royals is what's going on this year.

Besides that, we started spring training and the first 27 games of the season with solid pitching and good hitting and went 17-10. However, since then, the pitching his been average but the hitting his been awful, and I mean AWFUL. I would estimate our team average is around .250, which for a team average, is horrendous.

Our manager is a complete imbecile, and I will say no more about that, besides that the brewers fired him in the midst of a playoff run FOR GOOD REASON.

Oh, and did I mention we are the Royals? We will never see prosperity. With a burning passion I hate fair weather fans, but I can't take it much longer with the royals. I can support a BAD team who is trying. I don't know if
I can support a CONSISTENTLY bad team who fails to improve year after year. I may, MAY, jump ship and either stop following MLB, or God forbid, become a Cardinals fan....as long as David Glass and his family own this franchise, I just can't do it.

I told myself this year, with all the hype,(and I mean playoff caliber team hype), if we didnt finish at least .500, I would give up on this organization. Well, we're well on our way to finishing below .500, and I refuse to accept this any longer. It is embarrassing and ridiculous to be this horrible for almost 30 years. The Royals have about 100 games to keep my support, and the way it looks, they'll be losing it pretty quick. Unfortunately, that won't make a difference, for as long as David Glass turns a profit, he's a happy camper.
