Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse

Well, if you're a Royals fan, you instinctively know that it can and will get worse, which is exactly the way this road trip unfolded.

9 consecutive losses on the road, 10 in a row overall. That's just ridiculous for a major league team.

I know, I know, the Royals aren't a major league team. Right now, I don't see how the players and coaches can even want to come back home after this road trip. Think about it for a second. Royals Nation was booing Mike Sweeney and his check swings before the first loss was official, so do you think the response will be cordial this Friday evening at Kauffman?

It's going to be brutal and rightly so. That is, assuming that anyone bothers to show up for the game besides the Royals, Indians, umpires, broad casters and stadium personnel.

What a statement that would send to David, Dan and Allard if nobody showed up AT ALL for the first game back after a winless road trip!

The thing is, I don't think it would even register in their pea-brains.
