I wish this current version of the Royals had 250 regular season games and then each round of the playoffs was best of 13

if it wasn't a sellout every night and they were irrelevant you wouldn't even know they were playing

Popularity, good/bad is immaterial to my argument.   The season is too long.

I suspect since baseball's post season stretches so far into football season, and even the start up of basketball season, that could impact its popularity in some communities that baseball has lost and is desperately trying to regain.

Its nothing new. Unless you were born in the 50s the season has always been this long

No, and I don't know why you asked that question.   Don't turn stupid.

No, I've brought this up before.   I like you Big T, but you are Pure T Tuck when it comes to the Royals.

Last fall the Cats started the season 7-1 and were in the top 10, yet Manhattan was barely paying attention because of the Royals. That's all you need to know about whether or not the MLB season is too long.

I can agree that the discussion about the length of the baseball season is too long....

A top 10 college football team took a back seat to a baseball team 2 hours away for over half the season. Think about that.

they should just play year round with 40 man rosters (40 man roster baseball is about 90x more fun than other baseball, because of the pinching).

Cueto is a warrior, but I hope ned brings in the bullpen.

I will post the Posse stat when The game is over.... But Cueto was very good and comfortable pitching at home in Cincy.   I hope this is the 1st of many very good starts in his new home.
