I agree with whoever said this is the most hyped Royals season in a long time. 22 years & I can't remember a more hyped one (maybe '04, but even my sophomore in HS self knew that was doomed to fail). Growing up I went to Wichita Wranglers games all the time (FU, Glass) & swear some of those teams could have put together better records than the big league team. Same was probably true in Omaha & NWA in the last few years.

This year, I can understand. But next year? I mean, you gotta get there at some point... By that time (2013), Hos, Moose, Gio, etc. should be pretty well-adjusted. I understand that you don't want expectations to get too high, but my God. Grow a pair.
