There's absolutely a double standard here. When your guys hit one of theirs, intent is what controls. When their guys hit one of yours, well to hell with intent, one of our guys got it. When Ventura catches a comeback and starts yelling at the baserunner as he goes down the line, it's just being a firey kid. When Donaldson flips his bat, he's a drama queen.
And yet the team most frequently in the middle of these affairs is the Royals. I'm sure it's everyone else's fault.

Actually I thought Ventura needed to chill out. Heck most of his teammates did too. That's a weak argument.
People don't like that the Royals aren't a doormat anymore. That's the long and short of it.
You are the hypocrite with a double standard. I could get into a laundry list of examples of your NL central squabbles. I don't think the Royals have been a bunch of choir boys, but they're standing up for themselves like most good teams do. I don't have a problem with it. I don't have a problem with them getting back at Samardzija, getting back at Lawrie for his dirty side, or for getting the Blue Jays for stealing signs and knocking one of our guys out with a HBP.
They don't have to just sit there and take crap from everyone else. It's not a coincidence that almost every issue this year has ties to the A's. They don't have to stand there and take it and let everyone beat up on them. No matter how much holier than thou crap you try to pour on it. You're just being a hypocrite, because your team would do the same thing in a second.
