I think you underestimate the ability of the KC pitchers to suck.

You don't know squat about watching shitty baseball.

No what he means is until Carp has gotten hot in the last week. He and Fowler were no 170 and 171 in hitting out of 171 players with enough eligible at bats.

He has hit .500 for about 7 days now and his average has jumped .50 points to get him to .200.

And come on man we are all Chiefs fans, we know what it means to suck. :D

Well, that wasn't much fun to watch for us Royals fans. Yeah, I knew they would be not very good however I wasn't quite ready for this level of bad. For a Cardinals fan to compare relative team suckitude is rather funny; how many World Series have the Cardinals been to? I know the Royals have been to 4 and went 28 years without sniffing the playoffs.

I love how this thread became pretty nasty on the topic of "do both team suck?" and "we suck worse!" Gotta love this rivalry or non-rivalry, depending on who you ask.

To go from the most annoying fan base in baseball (NYY) to the 2nd most annoying fan base in baseball (Tard Nation) in just a couple of days is exhausting.

THIS ISN'T A RIVALRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Cardinals have overachieved so far and have like a .300 higher winning percentage than KCs scrub filled team. They aren't terrible, just pretty average. Such a weird fan base this is

How many games will the ROYALS lose this season? I'm guessing over a hundred. 49 wins - 113 losses

That would be a dream come true. To reach the championship promised land and then the rebuild promised land in a span of three short years should be every small market fans' dream.

The franchise is just an older one. We have waited in between WS appearances but not like the Royals in the same time frame that both teams have existed.

1934-1942 8 years
1946-1964 18 years
1968-1982 16 years
1987-2006 19 years
2011-2018 7 years and counting


I agree that the Royals fans suffered through some really bad baseball after 1985 and before the elation of 2014/2015.


So I concede, you team sucks more.

Not really a rivalry. Cubs are the Cards rival, not the Royals.

I don't know that the Royals really have a rivalry with anyone? At one time, back in the 70's and 80's, it was the Yankees. Now? meh. Maybe the White Sox if you HAD to pick someone, but not really. I couldn't even tell you half the players on their roster and they're in our division.

Oh, and for the record, we suck worse.

I'd say we're a secondary rival - lacking much of the nastiness and history of the Cubs-Cards rivalry.

I say this from the response my trolling of Denkinger would get on Cards forums in the days of yore. The Royals would be in the midst of a 90 loss season and 85 still riled up some emotion.

I will say had we met in the World Series in 2014, I think that would have cemented our franchises in a legit rivalry - that would have been a fun one, too (BTW **** Madison Bumgarner lik dis if u cry evrytiem).

You made a World Series in 2013.
