To think it's been now 40 years since we've been in a World Series is a joke for the history of this team and what they once were. 
I'm surprised this shit-stain of a franchise didn't trade Josh Bell and Starling Marte for some broke dick 40 year old reliever.
The Chris Archer trade was an abortion, just like our management.  |
It is sad that this is the reality of modern baseball. And for the most part, it seems now that everybody who is not the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers falls into this category. Some of the other teams can hold on to some of their star players, but the cream of the crop always seems to end up with those bloated soulless ****s.
But remember the Royals. It is always possible for the stars to briefly align for a small market team. They'll be picked clean and destroyed within a season or two, but pennants and championships last forever.
