The antithesis of the Kansas City Royals with this owner



From Yahoo! Sports last evening:

Dodgers continue unprecedented spending spree

The most expensive team in sports history spent another $147 million on Saturday night. This came 3½ months after the Los Angeles Dodgers spent $250 million, which came two months after they spent $42 million, which came two weeks after they spent $85 million, which came eight months after they spent $160 million, which came less than 18 months after they filed for bankruptcy.

This is something unlike what the sports world ever has seen: a franchise with seemingly no limits.


What did I say?

The antithesis of the Kansas City Royals.

While the Dodgers and the Yankees--famously--will spend untold money on a great bullpen, our own Kansas City Royals, infamously owned by Walmart's spendthrift, David Glass and Company, will only suck money and profits OUT of the team--and our wallets, and not give a fig for wins or a winning season.

Want to make it even worse?

Look who the Dodgers gave their biggest salary to.

None other than former Royals player Zach Greineke.

Ow.

Does Johnny Damon sound familiar to anyone else here?
