the Pittsburgh Pirates, Royals and Twins each earned more than $20 million.

and we can't field a better team than this disaster?

The problem is the players and atmosphere the GM has created in the clubhouse. And Glass to an extent. But Glass uped the $'s this year. Baird signed maybe all he could but that says a lot about the team he has created

And we couldn't afford Beltran!!!

Like any one guy is going to help this train wreck of a team.

PTCHING, PITCHING, PITCHING is the #1 problem with this team and has been for about the past 10 years. We havent developed any successful starting pitchers "in house" since Appier about 15 years ago. Thats says alot right there.

I wish you guys could've heard willie wilson on the spot tonight. He just thinks they should bring back players to coach from the early 80's team, esp 85. Makes sense since those guys knew how to win. Wilson said "give me athletes" and he could teach them to be good, not just a guy who can hit etc...he's got a point.

I was a staunch Royals fan from'69 to '94 when the arrogant, uneducated, tobacco spitting prima donna players ran me off with their strike. So the Royals becme a non-entity to me. Then I joined this board and now Royals bullshit is force fed to me while they are a complete piece of shit. (Nevermind their piss ignorant followers have their own forum they refuse to use). So I would say the number 1 reason to hate the Royals is that they clog my favorite forum every day for half the year. Imagine what it would be like if the Royals were actually good. I hope they fail and are moved out of KC. I really don't want to wish that on the city but I want them out of my life completely like they were before I joined this board. I hate the Royals.

did anyone actually expect the Royal's to be good????

CoMoChief · 04-21-2006, 01:11 AM

I'm just not gonna give them any of my money if they cant produce on the field. What have the Royals done for any of us in the last 15 years? Provided us with a Major League team is really all anyone can say. At least the Chiefs have had a record above .500 in the past decade or so.

I used to be proud to be a Royals fan... one season, I think I caught probably 75% of the games on the Royals Radio Network growing up in Iowa... Denny Matthews and Fred White. Loved every minute, and really was proud to look to Brett, Otis, Wilson, Mcrae, hell... even Pete LaCock and Jaime Martin.

But like the post earlier, the strike in 94 (95?) and economics have soured me on baseball as a sport. We use to develop talent in Omaha and have the Clint Hurdles show promise in KC... now, we sign washed up DH's like Doug M (too tired to spell it out).

**Rausch** · 04-21-2006, 01:42 AM

Because baseball is a rotting corpse that's just too stupid to admit it's dead and lay down with dignity?...

You did have three Royals threads on the front page a couple days ago. We need the room for the shopping and popularity threads.

Count me in with Skip. I really get sick of the stupid fans that think if we fire Baird, or Glass spends another 5 million, or if Zack Grienke comes back, or if Buddy Bell makes better decisions that things will be much better.

BS people. Under the current economics of MLB, the game is ruined, and the remaining "fans" find excitement in aspiring for a outside chance to be a .500 team - not being a genuine competitor (like we used to be) for the World Series. It amazes me that more people aren't fed up with the system that has transformed America's pastime/sport into a flat-out, greed-oriented business. I personally hope that the Royals lose every game until something is done to restore some form of balance and equity so that my kids can enjoy MLB as a game/sport someday and not the steroid infested, money grab it has become. We are not better than a farm team to the big boys of the league, and have been so for years. Wake up and smell the coffee, folks.
