June has ended with the Royals winning just 8 out of 26 games. They have plummeted to seven games below .500, scoring just 3.27 runs per game. It was not fun to watch, as many of you already know. This team had hopes to make the postseason, and going into June they were still burning fairly bright. Now it has dimmed to the point where only the most optimistic fan could believe for a number of reasons.
Right now, the Seattle Mariners are in the last wildcard spot, on pace for 85 wins if you round them up a couple of decimal points.
