How Bad Are They?

After last night's game, when Kansas City once again pulled defeat from the jaws of victory, it got me thinking: "Yeah, they're bad. Really bad. But how bad are they really?"

At their current pace (.246 winning percent) they will lose 121 games. That will set a new modern record, beating out the 120 lost by the Mets in 1962.

If they lose 121 games -- heck, if they only lose 114 -- then they will have lost 600 games in 6 years. And 2003 was a winning season.

KC's current record is 14 and 43. The best Kansas City could hope for at this point is to play .500 ball. If we lose 5 more games, and then play .500 ball for the rest of the season, we will still lose 100 games.

Wow! That's fantastic. Embrace their badness. Cheer them on. If we can't win, at least we can lose well. Go Royals!
