Does Dougie Baseball understand now?

Welcome to Royals baseball purgatory, Dougie Baseball! Now do you understand why the fans were booing from the start this season?

This isn't a fluke thing happening here, Dougie, it's been this way for a long, long time now.

Still feel like telling the fans that they don't have the right to boo? If so, you should damn sure shut your mouth right now as well.

You've been in this quagmire for what? Two or three full months counting spring training? Now you know how the fans of the Royals, what few of them are left, feel about the players, coaches, front office and ownership.

But you know what, Dougie? You're getting compensated for being on this team and you won't have to be here long. It's not like you won't just go on to another team once your contract is up.

Royals fans, real Royals fans, don't have that luxury. We live and die a little bit with win and loss. Lately we've been dying more than living.

And it sucks, to be sure, Dougie.

At least you're not paying to watch this team of castoffs.
