Place Your Bets: the Length of the Losing Streak

by Eppenweb on May 26, 2008 5:10 PM EDT

As Royals fans, we all know our team is capable of some tremendous losing streaks. I mean, we went 19 games just a couple years ago. Plus, the team is playing horribly right now. Only one pitcher is up to snuff, and it doesn't matter because the offense can only muster one run a game. But, maybe the end of the longest road trip of the year will cure things (Hah!). Or maybe this streak will hit the upper teens and cause Royals fans to question everything about Dayton Moore, Trey Hillman and the Royals hopes of ever making the playoffs again (the full Rob Neyer). It's worth betting on. So, in the comments, place your bets on how many more games the losing streak will last. The winner will have the cold comfort of being right as another season goes down the tubes, like a shot of good vodka on the day you were laid off.

Let the dour forecasts begin!

My guess: 11 games.

We get swept by the Twins, take two of three from the Indians, then lose 7 straight to the Yankees and White Sox. Joy.

I said during the Boston series that we would go on a major slide

do I get to bet with any sort of credit earned from that prediction? This team is weak all around. Weak mentally, weak physically, weak psyche. It’s a beautiful culture of losing. And it ain’t ending anytime soon.
