What the **** are you talking about? You acting like it's a proven fact that if the Royals have over 30K fans in attendance, because of SIX game sample, that they lose more often.

In my opinion, you really have to hear the audio to get what Yost was saying. To me he was not dumping on the fans, but pleading with them to come out and enjoy what is happening.

Even if he was dumping on the fans, who cares...are your feelings hurt? I'm a huge Royals fan, and have only been to one game this year. I'm not taking what he said personally.

I'll take a dump on the fans and say anyone who is outraged about his comments is a freaking crybaby.

I'm saying that they have shown a disturbing penchant for losing in front of packed houses this year. If we look at how many games they've drawn say, 28,000 plus at home, and what their record is in those games, it's not pretty.

I hope this was supposed to be sarcastic because I am taking it as such.

I get not caring, but I am pretty much always disgusted with pro sports folks biting the hand that feeds them. It just feels gross. Did he hurt my feelings? Of course not. He still had no business taking any fan to task that has stuck with this historically shitty franchise. It was made even worse by the timing.

MLB sucks and I don't need Yost telling me to come out and drop $$ to support it. 3 hours watching fat asses scratch their nuts does zero for me.

omg why is this even a story?

I'm enjoying this Royals run and I thoroughly enjoyed Alex Gordon last night.

**** all of this negativity. Go Royals!

I'm sure a lot of the Royals fans who are regular game attendees are also disappointed they weren't at the game last night to see the biggest HR hit at the K in 28 years...but maybe they'll be at the next?

I don't see how anyone can question any Royals' fan after 30 years of complete crap. They are lucky to have any fans left.

Well, the fans in Atlanta SUCK, because they did exactly the same thing back in the days that Ned Yost was reminiscing about. And the fans in Baltimore SUCK, because they had 15K in attendance for THEIR first place team.

Ned Yost finds a way to be an idiot even when the team wins.

As a longtime royals fan, all of this.

What part of it don't you understand?

Maybe fan turnout would be higher if they had made any effort to include generation y in their fan-base. Especially since generation y is now who you would expect to have the time and money to go to baseball games.

Downtown stadium would be packed.

For the record, the Royals are on pace to have their highest attendance total since 1993. Attendance has increased every year for the last four years, a period that included two 90 loss seasons and a payroll that at one point was $35M.
