Again, I get it, I'm just not in the mood these days to listen or read about any thin silver linings in Royals baseball. Let his agent bring-up that shit. I want to focus on the the only stat that really matters, team wins and losses.
I think silver linings are what consistently allow this organization, and the Chiefs too, to dupe good people in cities like KC to be happy with losing teams. That's why I no longer care about nice guys, players showing up at shelters, if the team goes to church, if players are juicing and staying one step ahead of the technology to catch them. I don't care who's on the roster and if the kiss babies at public events at the mall.
I want a winner, a contender, and teams that other teams fear when they come to town. We're not far from it, but then again, we're always not far from it.
