Last week, a gentleman emailed me about the Kansas City Royals. This happens sometimes, and to be honest I wonder why it doesn’t happen more often. It’s sitting there in my SB Nation profile for everyone to see, which you can find at any time by clicking the Masthead link at the bottom of the page.
But what was interesting about this email is that he wasn’t a Royals fan. He said so. He was just wondering: “Did you have an inkling the Royals would be as bad as they are this year, or has it surprised you as much as anyone?
