I’m shocked the Royals fans didn’t post up about the Post Season a couple days ago...........when they got eliminated from it in August.
Great job New Money. Way to go from the top to the homeless gutter bum team in just a year or two. I guess it’s harder to stay on top than y’all realized. So much for being the new bad ass in town for years to come.
See y’all in 2046

I continue to be amazed by your fixation with the west side team.

It’s not a fixation.......it’s just being factual. For 3 years all I saw was brand new Royals gear and folks so proud of their town. Now you can’t Spot a hat or shirt in a bar in college town. Bandwagon at its finest. Hell you west side fans are so down in the dumps about your gutter squad you don’t even post any more about them.

Hell.........I didn’t get to laugh for a week this year when I missed a chance to bet Mac. I mean..........I missed a great opportunity to hunt a great place like New Zealand by not betting Max. He could have hooked me up on a trip of a lifetime. he could have hooked me up with all the stuff he did t do when he lived there man I miss my weekly laughs at west side mediocrity
Maybe I should have bet him I coulda had a better trip to NZ this spring

Couple of KC rookies had 9th inning heroics last night.........after the plumbers shut off the fountain and called in the wet vacs to clean up the flood
Yes....that set it on the tee for the comedians. FORE

Desperate times call for desperate actions. I guess when you spend all he money to win a WS Title, and don’t put any money back into the action team and stadium........chit is gonna fall apart

Just biding my time. You best worry about getting the error-prone Cards back into the playoffs. Or maybe hoping for a manager who can really manage the team. Matheny sure couldn't.

Matheny got fired months ago. Considering the turn around we got from a new manager and only missed the playoffs by a couple games, I think WE got this. The Cards actually save for a rain day. With a $1 BILLION TV deal they have some money to spend this offseason. Young arms will be stronger. Hurt arms will be back
Cards misses the playoffs for 3rd straight year and that’s rare. A royals fan who’s team missed the playoffs for 30+ years with numerous 100 loss seasons in that stretch is probably the last fan base to give opinions on getting a team back in shape or worrying about a 3 year drought.

I'm getting pretty tired of Mo's song and dance now 3 years running. I cringe when I hear him on the radio these days.
I believe that's 3 strikes too.
Cards need to get fundamentally correct on so many fronts, really easy and basic fronts like catching a baseball, throwing a baseball and running the bases. They have been focusing on hitting the baseball and have pretty much failed at that as well.
I like the team up the middle. Yadi another year or two. I can go with Wong since he had such a good year playing at second. I can give DeJong another year, I think he will come back strong with his power any way and decent enough at short. And then can't help to like Bader.
But even there, just the 4 guys I like, 2 at best are solid and it might just be 1. Of those 4, I am pretty much HOPING on 3 of them. Can they? Will they? Is Bader a true starting center capable of a long season at the plate being productive? Will DeJong get his power back and cut down on SO's?? And Wong, will he be the new Wong? At least I'm picking guys who SHOULD be good in the field. A bird in hand as they say.
Cards need to move some people and imo focus on D and fundamentals and put the batting production behind it because as of now, they aren't getting either one right enough to make a difference anyway and that D they sent out there last summer was just horrific.
