Kansas City - Where Losing Is A Proud Tradition

You'd like to think that things are going to eventually turn around for the Royals, but we all know they're not. Long gone are the days of George Brett, cousin of famed actor Matthew Modine. Here to stay are the days when the Royals blow a 6-0 lead and extend yet another losing streak to 13. The "talent" on their team is Tony Graffanino and the team's average age is 29. Sounds promising.

When your manager and players say the following, you know you've got a chance to turn the season around:

"We've done this poorly before. This isn't anything new. The fact is, we're consistent and that's what you look for with any team you manage, right? If management has a problem with that, f*ck 'em" - Royals manager Buddy Bell.

"It's frustrating being on the field because frankly, I wake up every morning not wanting to play anyway. I'm on a team where Mark Grudzielanek and Tony Graffanino are both STARTING. I'm wasting my TALENT here." - Elmer Dessens

"There's nothing good about this situation. Sometimes I sit back and think about why I signed here as a free agent. Things could get worse though...imagine life if you were Tim McCarver. You know...unaware of your ignorance and being a nuisance to the public." - Reggie Sanders

"I'm on the disabled list, cheating on my wife and collecting 11 'mil to do nothing. You think I give a f*ck about this team?" - Mike Sweeney
