Word of Advice to the Young Guys
For you guys who are 30 or younger and are Royals fans.
ENJOY THIS RIDE. In 1985 I was 26 years old. I had seen the Royals pushed down by the Oakland A's, then the New York Yankees. Then the Royals got to the big dance in 1980; Brett got Roids (not steroids, Ass Roids) and Amos Otis blew out his ankle. That Sack o Shit Dick with Ears Pete Rose and his Phillies team mates sent us all home in a deep depression. Not until 1985 was the mountain top reached, in an epic battle with our cross state rivals the St. Louis Cardinals. Then 29 years of nuthin. 29 years. If you would have told me in 1985 the Royals would go almost 30 years without winning squat, I would have said you were insane. In 1990, the Royals had BOTH Cy Young winners (1989 AL and NL winners) on their roster. The Royals got Bo Jackson. The Royals had a hall of fame 3rd Baseman. Nothing. For 29 ****ing years. So my advice to you is ENJOY EVERY PITCH, EVERY MOMENT, EVERY GAME. There are no guarantees this will ever happen again in your lifetime. I've been very lucky to see it happen twice in my lifetime. I hope you young guys will get to feel the amazing thrill of having your team win a Worlds Championship. And I pray if we do win -and I pray we DO win- that you won't have to wait 29 years more to see it happen again. Go Royals. Bring it home. Be Champions.

I think I appreciate it even more this time George, the team got pretty good fairly quickly after expansion with EK owning the team. He stood toe to toe with Steinbrenner.
The 29 year drought that I truly believed would never end, has made me savor this team. When they called up Hosmer and Moose, I read it right here on CP. AlNorth (sp?) and/or DuncanIdaho I believe had started a thread about it and how good they would be. I thought is was pretty funny last night when Davis was trying to get the last out, I could tell my pulse was pretty rapid and was checking it. Then zoomed in on George Brett doing the very same thing. ![]() Living in market now, I believe I have only had to miss four games this year! |

From May to the end of September, it's like tubing down a lazy river. Fun to do every once in a while with a six pack at your side. In October, if your favorite team is involved, it's suddenly the X-Games on meth.

George is confused. We had both Cy winners in 1990, not 1986.
