Title: Do the Royals break 100 this year?
Post by: the KHAN! on February 23, 2011, 04:55:15 PM

and by 100 I mean losses.

Without their God-Child Zack Greinke, I say absolutely.

I liked the part of your post where you made me think you were talking about wins and then *BOOM!* switched it up to mean losses.

The truly amazing thing is that this is a legitimate question.

The Royals have been making improvements the last few seasons, but I am not seeing this roster doing anything but losing this year.

I was checking records yesterday, and I think 2003 or 2004 the Detroit Tigers went an lost 119 games.....


At least the Royals haven't sunk that low yet.

Where they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, who went on 2 10 game losing streaks during the months of August and September of that season.  :lol:

I say no, just because everyone thinks they are going to be terrible.  They should be terrible and for once are doing things the right way, but I have a feeling they aren't going to be as bad as everyone thinks.  Can't wait until late summer to see some of the prospects though.

My thoughts are that if they start out HOT, they are not going to do well....they always seem to start the season well and then fall to pieces.


Now if they struggle early....maybe this trend is reversible too!
