It's the end of the world as we know it... and we feel... fine?
2018 is a season of transition for the Royals, or at least it is at this point. Dayton Moore is back. Will he swing full into THE PROCESS 2.0? Or will he try to load up again and make some reload magic happen?

There were still people there, weren't there? I said "a lot".
And strike years are an obvious exception. It's tough to argue about fans rooting for a jersey when this is a fan-base that sat through one of the darkest 3 decades that any franchise has seen.

I can't speak for other royals fans but I always enjoyed seeing other players. We sucked those years, and mat suck this year..... but guys like Trout, Lindor, and basically everyone on Houston will always be fun to go out and see. I wouldn't have gone tho to see scabs.
