The standard nomenclature in baseball deems a "blowout" to be a game decided by five runs or more. By that standard, the Royals have been blown out in five consecutive games.

These being the Royals, of course, you’d expect that this has happened to them before in the recent past. You would be wrong. The Royals had never lost five consecutive games by five or more runs. Hell, the Kansas City Athletics never did so.

The Royals are just the ninth team in the Retrosheet era – since 1954 – to lose five consecutive blowouts.

Now is the time when we're supposed to remember that saying about the night being darkest before the dawn, or some such... Screw it. Let's all have a drink. I wish one of these damn vampire-creature things would come get me already.

Sounds like Rany is still stuck on "anger"

he needs to come join the rest of us in “acceptance” – it’s much easier on your blood pressure

Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!

Nice point Retro:

I thought the Royals sucked the last 5 games, I just didn’t realize it was historical suck. Maybe I can pretend it wasn’t such a complete waste of time after all.
