If you look at the standings - and don’t do so if you have just eaten - you will see the Royals are 27-68. This is the worst record in all of baseball, is on pace to be the worst club in Royals history, and is not far off the pace for the worst record in American League history, set by the Tigers in 2003 when they went 43-119.
If you subscribe to the Herm Edwards-philosophy of sports - you play to win the game - this is just a disaster of a season. Matthew LaMar recently wrote that the season is a travesty that deserve more of our anger than it has received thus far.
