You had a cute comment about my username and how anyone with profanity in their username “has major credibility with me”. Well, I would like to tell you to relax Ghandi. Im sure you re a proud father (or more like it grandfather with your extreme maturity) as am I but Im just an excited royals fan like you. Maybe instead of worrying about my username we could open some chat that is worth a damn (OOOPS Dang my humblest apologies). Look, you dont have to like my username. I frankly dont care. What I do care about is exactly what you care about: ROYALS!. So if you can put your well-mannered, wise heart to the side a second I would imagine you have a lot to offer. God Bless!

Spending that huge amount of money on a close when they needed to rebuild the entire bullpen was nuts. That front office does some things well. Overvaluing a usually injured closer was not one of them.

I thought it was going to be the Chip Ambres game, but this one was almost as bad. I was at this game and took a client, a wonderful young Australian fellow who, after the first inning, said, “well, looks like this is going to be a blowout” (or whatever australian for blowout is) and I said, oh no, just wait, they’ve got plenty of time to come back.

This one was bad, but the Chip Ambres game was the absolute nadir for this franchise. That was rock bottom.

One other thing to point out, though- this just goes to show how thin the line can be between good and bad teams. Cleveland was according to most the most talented team on paper in the division. Now, it’s apparent that their pitching sucks and their offense is questionable. Could very easily be us.
