Won't matter. This train is on a one way collision course with the 81-81 monster.

Which will lead to a huge 1st round splash during next year's draft when we're picking 18th. I'm looking at you 5'11" relief pitcher who will someday make a serviceable setup man!

This team is full of pussies - From the GM on down. I say Kill it with fire and do it again with different management. The only thing worse than absolute suckage is mediocrity, and this team is nothing if not mediocre. Our GM gets so ecstatic and wants a ****ing ticker tape parade for finishing over .500 in '13. Well, when you set the bar at mediocre, don't be surprised when that's what you get.

It's a long season, and overreacting is stupid. But, I've seen this circle jerk from the Royals before, and I know how it ends. I'm beyond irritated at this point.

So true. The Dbacks this year are a total dumpster fire, but everyone here knows it and it's kinda fun. Everyone laughs about how their going to lose every night, so if they win it's a little treat. There is 0 emotionalism with loses. Just kick back, laugh at bad baseball and watch one of today's best players everyday. Mediocrity sucks because it allows for hope, which with this franchise(KC), is a losing proposition.

Dayton Moore's seat should be nuclear but of course it's not and I can't figure out for the life of me why...

This team is toast, I'd blow it up now.

how soon before we can start the 2015 repository?

The Royals are a MLB farm team and have been for 30 years. Once you understand that you can remove all the emotion and find another summer sport. Investing emotion in them is laughable.

The Royals performance the last 2 weeks has murdered fan interest. Nobody gives a shit anymore about this hapless bunch of coward pussy losers. Billy Butler is the face of the Franchise and that's not a compliment. Just like last year when we were swept by Cleveland right before the AS Break to go 44-49. Just killing ourselves.


DM should be fired. It's time to give someone else a chance. He asked for patience to rebuild the farm system and his farm produced a bunch of weeds.

You are 100% correct, but I still fall trap to it every year. My emotions block the reality

The Royals have been pissing on their fans for decades. The fans are used to it unfortunately


Agreed that DM should be gone if they miss the playoffs. How much time does he need? I'm certain the goalposts will be moved again.

But he won't be. And this is why I'm pretty much done with this franchise until they actually prove they can accomplish something.

Are they better than when DM took them over? Sure. But that's not the goal. We should have been at this "mediocre to above average" point 2 or 3 years ago in the rebuild process. Not year 8.

I suppose if the Cerner guys bought the Royals and threw stupid money at making them a contender I might re-invest in the team, but it's gone in so long that my live for the sport has dwindled to a point that I may not. My problem us more with MLB and its stupid revenue plan than it is with our team.

If we don't make the post season, GMDM should unequivocally be gone. He traded our best prospect in years for a pitcher that could help us get over the hump. If we don't make the playoffs, that trade is a failure, and we will have given up that prospect for nothing because the pitcher isn't sticking around here after 2014. Epic fail for a general manager.

we'll get a draft pick for shield departing I think :shrug:

Yay

Awesome. Because DM has the magic touch for developing Stars for sure!
