Pacifier? Really?? Literally L'ing OL. I believe I've expressed legit concerns about the "plan" to which we've all been witness, and you keep bringing the conversation back to some obtuse, ill-formed conclusion that I'm somehow "a fair weather fan", being a baby, or some other non-sensical point.
World Series trophy? Nah. I'd like 82+ wins with more regularity than once every 5 Olympic cycles...and...dare we dream???...a playoff appearance more often than once every 23 years.
Since our guys have last tasted post season, compact discs have gone into widespread distribution, Michael Jackson has been through 5 noses, Kiss has had 17 farewell tours, and Carl Peterson was an effective sports executive.
Here's an idea: get over yourself. After 20+ of futility and 35+ years of being a fan of this franchise, I've earned the right to be a little frustrated (and Jackson county taxpayers moreso), even if things have improved--albeit modestly--of late. If you struggle to understand this, or moreover, childishly attack anyone with an opinion counter to yours, methinks we've got little left to discuss. I'm cool with a difference of opinion. Everyone's entitled to what they think, including me. But the dismissive/petty stuff is just nonsense. Even if you WERE David or Dan Glass.
Either way, we want the same thing (I assume): for the Royals to be a respectable, winning franchise again.
Show.
Me.
