A loss like this is a loss that will send a young team like the Royals imto a deep tailspin. Trey should have done everything to ensure the Royals won tonight.
Because Trey did not, this losing streak will approach 20-25 games IMO.
Because Trey did not, the hitters will begin press even more at the the plate.
Because Trey did not, Luke will feel a greater need to pitch perfectly IMO.
I know this is still May, but ocasionally circumstances surrounding the game dictate the team should pull out any stops necessary to win the game. Tonight's game, having a big lead, trying to snap a long losing streak was one of those games. Losing the way they did probably set the franchise back at least a couple of years and makes the prospect of losing 100+ games in 5 out of seven years a real possibility.

Some of this sky hit me in the ****ing face while I was reading this.
Seriously, though, I hear your pain. This one hurt, and it makes it seem like they'll never win again, but it would take some kind of talent to lose another 10-15 in a row.
