Kansas City Royals: adding insult to insult


It’s not easy being in the Royals front office these days. First, a longtime fan sells his Royals fandom for $278 and now a minor league team thinks they can win more games than you. Oh, and the fact that your team is 9-22.

The Brockton Rox of the Canadian American Association thinks they can win more games than the Royals despite playing only 92 games compared to the Royals 162 games. The Rox president contacted the Royals to set a bet — $500 vs $5,000 to be donated to the local YMCA. The Royals VP of communications said he had no response to that.

Sure, it’s a publicity stunt but it’s still insulting.

Brockton Rox — Just a quality promotional stunt from a quality organization.  This is the franchise that signed 48-year-old Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd to pitch last season.  Next up, look for the Rox to sign Verne Troyer and give him jersey number 1/8.

go tribe. — good thing they swept the Indians.  

KC vs Tribe: 5-1
KC vs the rest of the league: 5-21

Yay, it’s fun as ever to be a Cleveland sports fan. Go Cavs.
