I feel just as pissed off... maybe even moreso since I saw the glory days. If we ever do actually achieve "our time" you guys will really deserve the euphoria it will bring.

Go Royals.

I was born a month after we won it in '85. I've never seen a truly good team. I'm diehard, but it's strange, because my relationship with the Royals isn't the same as with the Chiefs or my other sports teams. I go into each NFL season with at least a glimmer of hope that the Chiefs can make it to the Super Bowl...but with the Royals, I've never really felt that. It's more of a game to see how long we can hold out before the season's officially a lost cause...which usually doesn't take long. I almost think it would be weird for them to be successful.

Jesus Christ, how ****ing old are some of you? Do you soften all your food since you don't have teeth since you are obviously over 100?

Fast forward to 5:50


It still gives me chills.

Old enough to see the Chiefs win the Super Bowl.

I'm back into that stage where I just feel really sorry for you guys.

Jesus - how can this team be this terrible? It doesn't make a lick of sense. There is too much talent on the team and it's not like they're rolling over and dying like the Ken Harvey days. When you get pitching, you get no hitting. When you get hitting, you get no pitching. It's a team that simply knows how to lose.

You have a ton of talent and I shit you not - Ned Yost is a good manager. There's no reason for the Royals to be anywhere near this terrible.

You guys have one cursed goddamn franchise.

I could die a happy man having seen that. Instead I will go to the grave a cold, heartless bastard.

I'm also old enough to have seen the Chiefs win a SUPERBOWL. Side Note: I enjoy drinking an ice-cold Ensure with a Metamucil chaser.......

Believe it or not it's still weird for me to see the Royals keep struggling for so long. They were great in my formative years and they should still be great in my mind. It's like a really elongated speed bump. I hope they become what they used to be again... not just for me but for all of you young'ins that take the time to care the last 26 years. It'll be worth the wait.

Btw I was born one month after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

We just aren't that good. Starting pitching is below average, bullpen is below average and the lineup is below average.

Below average finishes 78-84.

This team may end up challenging 100 losses again at this rate.

They're not this bad.

Fixed your post.

I will root for the royals until i die, i dont even care if we win, im a KC sports fan, I LIVE FOR THIS SHIT

Demonpenz 04-18-2012 09:41 PM

That would be cool if they tried to improve in the offseason? Maybe a prince fielder, maybe a Pujols? Maybe resign Melky?
