I've honestly got nothing against the Royals. I don't douche it up in Royals threads and I've probably been to 75 games at the K in my life. But if they want to give us shit dont be surprised when they get it back. [Reply]

Are you trying to unseat Ubeja as the biggest clown here?
Since '82:
Sixteen playoff appearances, 19 playoff series won, seven pennants, three titles. Only nine losing seasons and one this century.
Royals: Four playoff appearances, 7 playoff series won, three pennants, two titles. Twenty-eight losing seasons, and 14 this century.
Fuck, you've had less success than the Marlins since their inception. [Reply]
Max hasn’t been much in the playoffs in his career, so there’s that. He did pitch well in G4 last week I suppose. Gotta get that team into their bullpen which Mikolas did last night. That’s the first time I saw him throw, he’s got a wide variety of junk that’s really hard to square up. He’s a guy who can be effective 5 more years. [Reply]

NZoner? He's a well respected, liked, and tenured member. We all love him to death. Sports arguments are just dumb. Taking them seriously is dummerer. [Reply]
No lineup changes from Schildt. Says he first want to do anything like a knee jerk reaction. Hey Schildt, have you looked at Carpenters offensive stats lately? It’s not a recent thing. Have you seen how Fowler is killing us in missed oppertunites? It’s not a recent thing. [Reply]
