you were the kid that was always scared of the ball, had no coordination, threw like a girl, swung like a girl, couldn't stand the heat outside, would rather be at home during the summer playing video games, had adhd, could never sit still and had the attention span of 10 second Tom from 50 First Dates?

baseball is the shit man...you just don't know.

 

[ArGenTin3]

If the Royals would have kept Dye, Damon, Beltran and Ibanez together we would have been dangerous...but oooooooooh nooooooo! The fuckin' owner had to be Mr. Cheapskate and not ante up!

I cannot stand an owner that doesn't have the same passion as the fans that foot the bill!

CAN'T STAND EM!

WRONG! i played baseball, basketball, football from like 8-14 and then just football from 14-18 in high school. I was on the all-star team for baseball every year as a catcher and pitcher. Im an athlete fool, dont get it twisted, im not some angry fat kid who couldnt play. Baseball is fun to play but that shit is the most BORING shit in the world to watch on tv. And how the fuck can u get into a season that has like 160 games? And slowly but surely every major player in the MLB is getting busted for steroids, so not only is it boring, its also full of fucking cheaters. Fuck the MLB.

lol

i said don't take it the "WRONG!" way...

most people i run across that don't like baseball have told me they never liked the the thought of getting hit with the ball. so i just threw that out there to see where your thoughts on the game were...lol

i can't sit here and say i'll watch an entire game from start to finish but i will sit and watch alot of the game if there is a good matchup (good pitcher vs. good lineup).

 

[coondogg26]

i loved playing baseball, i played every position on the field (cept 1st base lol) over the years but i could never really get into the MLB. Football has definitely passed baseball as Americas past time

KC ownership/management seems to be turning a corner though, it seems they're willing to spend some $$$ to build from within (through the draft and internationally). They recently dropped $1.2 mil on a 16 y/o 3B/SS from Nicaragua, that shattered their previous record for an international signing. They have also added through free agency a bit...

 

[ReKz]

The answer to the original question is....



YES



3 towns, 1 of which is in the 5th largest market in the country and 2 of which have an extremely rich baseball history in them. Those teams become competitive, they will do just fine.

Awful idea.

Are you still involved with advance scouting?

true. until we can show players that our losing ways are behind us, the better FAs won't even give us a chance. and to do that we have to draft well and put a winning product out on the field on a consistent basis. i mean we offered Tori Hunter more money then the Angels and he still didn't pick us, who can blame him? lol

props on knowing your shit about the kid we picked up...this is the type of move other teams have always made except us.

Dude. You can't re-write history. Football became real popular in the seventies, and didn't nobody care about it until the 60s. Baseball always has been and will be "America's Past Time." Its the first widely organized sport here in America, its nostalgic.

And if you tell me nobody in the NFL has been on or taken steroids, I'm going to shit a brick and then mail said brick to your home.

I grew up playing basketball and baseball. You know why I fucking hated football as a kid? Its me watching 60 fucking seconds of standing, leading up to a play which showcases 2.5 seconds of athletic ability. Now that I'm an older guy, I can appreciate football. But I hate sitting there staring at players standing around while getting paid $5,000 to be in a huddle. More home runs are hit in baseball than TDs thrown in the NFL.

You know what else sucks? Watching the same damn NFL top plays for seven fucking days straight on ESPN. Or listening to a dozen fucking analysts speak for five minutes a piece on the same gott damned TD catch for an entire month. Or periodically throughout the season getting to watch the same bullshit tackle that injured Tom Brady. Or listening to everybody talk about games that happened in 1997 thinking it has almost any conceived possible outcome on how a team is going to play here in 2010. Or having to go online and search the NFL rules on why the officials gave this penalty or took away that touch down and just thinking to yourself "This isn't the fucking American judiciary system, THIS IS FOOTBALL! Why do I need articles that are defining rules on a guy tackling another guy or catching a fucking football?"

As far as "just letting the game be the game." The National Football League fucks it up the most, and that's why I get irritated with Football season. I can watch baseball or basketball or hockey or soccer (futbol/football) or even cricket and then walk right into my backyard (or basketball court or ice rink) and play the game applying the rules to my own game fully aware that 96% of the NBA, NHL, or MLB rules that are used can be easily used while I'm playing the game myself.

But I step into my backyard and start throwing a Wilson football around with my nephew wearing a Michael Vick jersey and Roger Do-Goodell is all of a sudden landing a helicopter in my yard holding a lawsuit wanting my testicles for impersonating an NFL player or some wild shit.

Royals ain't going anywhere...The taxpayers just recently anted' up over a half billion dollars to upgrade the truman sports complex (arrowhead and kauffman stadium).

Givin' how shitty my Royals have been this season...they have still averaged over 20k fans a night. Royals fans are some loyal sons of bitches i can tell you that much. Try being a fan of the lousiest franchise in all of baseball since 85' and still be proud of them. We're still here and will always be here....I don't give a fuck!

Go Royals!

The Pirates haven't had a winning record in 17 straight years. Can KC top that?

Its all subjective as to what sport we prefer and i could easily make similar counter arguments against baseball (i.e., same HR highlights every night). However, the fact is, football is the most popular sport in the US. Its not so much re-writing as it is writing OVER what is all ready written.

The Pirates are in a winning town/state and a historical baseball team.
The last couple years they have made what I can dumb decisions.

To answer Q as well.... Yes

Why are you going to get rid of one of the top 3 teams in baseball? this thread was about ending the franchise for the top 3 worst teams in baseball.

 

[short]

The marlins park is usually half empty too

yup....they just cover up the empty seats with tarp

 

[ReKz]

yup....they just cover up the empty seats with tarp

It's a 60,000+ stadium football stadium in the suburbs, that the Marlins just happen to play in...they're getting a new baseball-only stadium that it close to downtown, their attendance should go up dramatically...
