I hate losing streaks. This is not rock bottom for me though. Back in the early 2000s when the Royals were losing 100 games a year. I started one season rooting for the Kansas City Kanchos, a fantasy team I invented. The Kanchos were the team KC was playing, and they became my personal home team. The Kanchos won over 100 games and won the AL Central by 12 games. It was the ultimate "Schadenfreude" season. It was the only way I could tolerate the losing.

I think most people unless they were being super homers could see this coming a mile a way. Whit is aging and declining, Mondesi is super injury prone, the lineup in general is ass.
85% of this rebuild is based on pitching, pitchers fail at an enormous rate whether from injury, being awful or ending up relievers. [Reply]

True, but there are exciting signs for our pitching. It’s an enormous accomplishment that four drafted pitchers all made the majors. And any baseball fan will tell you there’s going to be growing pains with that.
I guess what I don’t get is some don’t want to engage in the prospect talk at all and are just ****ing on this MLB team at every opportunity, when this year was never going to be the year we were going for the ship. [Reply]

I'm a believer in building around position players just because it's safer. I don't look at any of the Royals pitchers and seen an ace. [Reply]
