My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team...

In case folks haven't noticed (and really, why would they), the Kansas City Royals have lost 15 games in a row. How bad is it for Mike Sweeney and the boys? They're now 38-78 (wooooooooooow). In the 15 losses, they've been outscored 118 to 53 (that's 65 fucking runs folks!). Only 3 other teams have lost 15 games in a row (or more) in the last 25 years. Those infamous losers:
The 2002 Tampa Bay Devil Rays - 15
The 1982 New York Mets - 15
...and of course, the historically woeful 1988 Baltimore Orioles, who started the season by losing 21 in a row (check out their season - my god did they suck).

The Royals play tonight at Seattle, and I for one will be rooting for them to lose #16 in a row. Why not try to be the best at something fellas. I think KC has the right idea, sending Runelvys Hernandez to the mound tonight - he gave up 7 ER in 1 IP last time out. Go Royals!
