You’re really smack-talking a team for beating them in an LCS they won five times in eight seasons?

Matthew, you mentioned seven teams having their best record against KC, but by my count it’s even worse: eight.

If Bud Selig could remove owners willy-nilly, McCourt would have been tarred, feathered and kicked out of Los Angeles in a barrel months ago!

In defense of the Royals they have spent more money on draft picks that any other MLB team. Often drafting players that other teams stayed away from because of their contract demands. And they have also spent money on free agents…it’s just they were really dumb contracts to players like Jose Guillien and Kyle Farnsworth.

Bud Selig represents the owners actually. So I doubt he’ll make too many friends by removing some of them (that is.. if he can).

Bud Selig oughta investigate the ownership of the Royals and the Pirates. They’ve clearly drained those two once proud organizations. He owes it to their fans to do what’s best for them and MLB.

So, If you eliminate 2003 the Royals are in the same position as the Pirates. The 2003 Royals had the benefit of playing the Tigers, one of the worst teams in MLB history that year 19 times.

They went 15-4. If the Tigers were even decent, and let’s say the Royals won the season series but only went 10-9. That would eliminate KC owning the Tigers. It would also eliminate 2003 being a winning season for the Royals.

What I’m really surprised by PC is that no one owns the Jays. I mean the Rays never seem to lose against our boys and yet the Rays have a better record against KC. Ditto the Yankees who always seem to pwn the Jays. Bailed out by the Kansas City Royal, who woulda thunk it? Maybe KC should change their name to “The Kansas City Everybody’s Biathces Royals”. That’s some suckitude right there. Like long term. Something aught to be done about that.

Oh yeah, Atlanta? Well how about 1998? Does that ring any bells?

Wow, they own the whole city? Why in the heck don’t they start selling/leasing pieces of it already? AA could make some real GM magic with all the taxes from the fine people of Baltimore.

Proudly Canadian, I’m not surprised either. If it weren’t for the Jays success over Baltimore, Toronto wouldn’t have had all those playoff appearances since 2000.

I am not surprised that the Jays own Baltimore.
