Royals Realm

Yeah, so I quit on this running diary out of sheer anger and much to my horror, things only got worse. Jon Lester ended up pitching a no-hitter. A freaking no-hitter. Something that had not been done to KC since Nolan Ryan in 1973.

I felt really bad rooting passionately for a cancer survivor to screw up the best day of his life, but any true fan would’ve done the same. If you wouldn’t have, you should not refer to yourself as a true fan. But, as a human, it didn’t feel that great to be dropping expletives after Lester fanned DeJesus and Collaspo.

Now I have to boycott the sports media for a good 24 hours to not hear obligatory praise and typical Royal comments. It feels like 2005 all over again. Except we’re actually good this year. Well, average. 21-23 in mid-May. I’ll take it. Let’s just hope this atrocity doesn’t spur a massive losing streak and derail a very promising season.
