Nine straight losses...

... and Emil Brown's still dropping the ball. 5 - 18. Running out of words here.

If the Royals get swept this weekend, SOMEONE gets the ax.

At 9:21 AM, DL said...: I do focus on the positives. I've stated on numerous occasions that this is a "developmental" season. My focus is on starting pitching this year, and I'm encouraged thus far. My ax references simply deal with the fact that the Royals will have to conduct some impression management if they lose at a historically awful clip. Its a matter of public credibility. Fans who pay closer attention to the team might be emotionally prepared for a bad season (I say MIGHT, because this team has been painful to watch even if you expect losing), but the garden-variety radio talk show fan is going to be screaming for blood, and the Royals will have to deal with that if this team not only loses, but looks REALLY bad doing it (as has been the case this year).

And if Pena is fired...well, sometimes life has its bonuses.
