Royals pitcher Ian Kennedy calls himself a baseball junkie, and he was glued to the television during the playoffs.
Yet, Kennedy also felt a pang as he watched the games.
“I feel like it fuels that fire and that desire to want to be in the playoffs again,” Kennedy told reporters Thursday at City Union Mission. “We were in a mass text, a bunch of us were texting back and forth. We were watching the same games. There were a bunch of us talking about the games that were going on, or off subject. But we were all into it, watching the Cubs.
