ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!
- Thread starter JLMACN
- Start date
You all can thank me for the Royals success, i did not get drunk on opening day, as in the past 4 years went to the stadium and ggot fucked up, refrained this year, cause i wanted to find my car when it was all over, and havent made it to a game this year, and i used to go all the time............. so i guess if i stay away they win!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, but in the past few years we couldn't even beat up on our own shitty division.
We were a goddam 100 loss team last season. This is a great improvement.
If we go to the playoffs, and lose to the first non-AL Central team we play, I won't be upset. I'll just look forward to next year. The success they're experiencing this year is key to re-building fan support in KC. I suspect that at the end of the season, if you compare this season's home game attendance figures to last season's, this season will blow away last season.

That's why I hate them.....they seem too "wholesome". You're not supposed to have a team full of players who are "good people" as well. Where is the Joey aka Albert Belle's and the Jose Canseco's of the Royals?
I can see it now....KC STAR HEADLINES: ROYALS' SWEENEY CAUGHT KICKING DOG
And that whole attack on the 1st Base coach last year makes it even worse. They sure do get the sympathy vote.
I'm still waiting for Alaird Baird to sell off the high priced players for a 2 year supply of twinkies and a case of Michalob Ultra.
Re: .....................
Well.... not really. We're doing FANTASTIC against teams in our division. We're 29-9 in the AL Central. No one in the majors has an in-division record that good.
Now, we look outside the division... 6-13 against the East, 3-9 against the West.... those are losing records my friend. Now, we had a slump in May. The question is, were we in a slump just because we were in a slump? Or, were we in a slump because we were playing AL East and AL West teams and they're better than us?
Time will tell. I'm hopeful we can maintain our success for the rest of the season. But, realistically, all we've really proven so far is we can DOMINATE the AL Central.
Like I said in my other post, there's no need to poo-poo that. It's a hell of an accomplishment. Last year we had a losing in-division record. We had 100 losses overall. We couldn't even beat up on our own shitty division.

like i said... royals have talent... just not as not as much as it may appear appear... how sweet would it be for a 70 series for the world series... Royals vs. Cards 
I'm not ready to cast aside the Twins yet. Yes, they've kinda been falling down as of late... but, like you said, there's 162 games. Teams are gonna have hot streaks and cold streaks. IMO, right now both the Sox and the Twins are a threat right now.
Nonetheless, the Royals can't be looking over their shoulder at anyone. They need to focus on winning games.

The D'Backs have DEFINITELY turned it on as of late. Things were looking grim there for awhile.
There's some interesting parallels between the D'Backs and Royals right now. W/ all the D'Backs injuries, they've got so many rookies playing right now, they might as well be a small market team. Neither of these teams should be doing what they're doing right now. It's all just 100% heart.

all my bashing of the Royals aside.....it's been fun to watch a few games at kaufman this year. It's a beautiful park and its great to see a city back a sports team like the Royals. They are bringing in an average of 5,000 people more per game compared to last year......i think that was the expos average home attendance last year.
ROFL I remember reading some quote from an Expos player last season when they were playing either Florida or Tampa (I can't remember) anyway, he looked around the stadium before the game and said "Wow, looks like they're running the same promotion here they do in Montreal: dress up like an empty seat, and get in free."
