bigruss Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) Our new motto should be the Royals' motto the last 20 years: "We stink. So what?" Royals fans, the 15,000 who go every night have learned to enjoy the cheap promotions and the experience cause the team sucks. It is a huge bonus if they win. That's how I see our team this year. The team to freak out about is the Blackhawks. They have a chance. A real chance. Problem is that we have double the payroll and tickets are what, 5-6th most expensive in baseball? These arent cheap games to go to, the expectations for a team with this size of a payroll is completely different than that of the Royals. We also won the WS just 5 years ago, you cant compare the fans nor the teams to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) The first one was actually okay...lol, that blonde girl is hot at least. That's what happens when you're in China and can't watch tv besides NBA games, you have to watch some really questionable movies. I was even considering watching The Bounty Hunter and Green Zone the other day. PS: Or any movie with Nicole Eggert, that's not bad watching compared to our offense...

We also won the WS just 5 years ago, you cant compare the fans nor the teams to each other. That's true, but you wait: The Sox will come up with some cheap seat or parking promotions this season before it's over. They'll have to. I just think at this point it's worth it to criticize every little thing in a Blackhawks game cause that team really has a chance and it's worth geting worked up about. This lousy Sox team has absolutely no chance unless the staff gives up 1-2 runs a night the rest of the year. That would take starters going into the eighth inning every night giving up 1-2 runs max and that ain't gonna happen either. So enjoy the games for what they are.

So who takes the blame for this awful product? With 70 or some home games left, you're looking at huge payroll implications for the next few seasons if this crap keeps up.

caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Why couldn't we have Adam LaRoche instead of Mark Kotsay? I guess he wasn't in the budget either. Great job, Juanie...way to make it easy for the pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Well, at least if Juan's going to bunt or ground out weakly, there wasn't a runner in scoring position to further aggravate us. Only Juan can be aggravated with himself....I've given up caring about him and Kotsay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
