I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but things aren’t looking good for Kansas City baseball these days. As a kid, I lived in a world where the Royals were so bad that they didn’t get any national media coverage. I wasn’t ever watching them on Sunday Night Baseball or seeing their highlights in the morning on ESPN.
This team has so far surpassed those teams in futility that they are getting national coverage for it.
The Royals are on track for 118 losses this season, which would shatter a previous franchise record set in 2005.
