Nobody made him sign that crappy TV deal-so KC fans can't watch games locally on regular channels anymore.

He has made a fortune on the Royals since he bought them in an increase in team value. I think he will be able to stay off food stamps. :D

All irrelevant anyway. He won the World Series. He can tell his critics to eat shit now.

Of course, I was one of the few who argued vs the Cerner boys buying this franchise, because of the 40M or so debt service they'd have to pay out. Looking how thin Glass is operating vs his revenues.......how about taking another 40M off that?

The amount of new merchandise that's been sold is insane as well. That combined with all the extra revenue from postseason home games has given Glass a nice chunk of change.

Not be a permanent no-hope embarrassment


I wonder if players notice the 800,000 at the parade and the fact we spend way more than the avg % of revenues and think "Not the worst place to play"

So who's got the game thread tonight? I could start it, but the last time I did, we got our butts kicked (Game 2 vs. the Mets).

True, but I factor that into the value of the team.
