I have to say, this is one of the great blog posts of all time. Rany on the Royals lets both barrels go on the management of the team, but my favorite part is here:

Anyway, I’m bitter and angry and probably incomprehensible at this point, so I’m going to take a time out. I’m tired of being a dupe. I’ve tried to blend realism and optimism since I started covering the Royals 16 years ago, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to argue that those two traits are reconcilable. Apparently, I was a sucker to suggest that the Royals might be a .500 team this year.

After saying he’ll take a time out, Rany goes on to write another 1058 words on the subject. I don’t think Rany can do it. He’s too good a writer and too passionate about the team to stay away for long.

The whole post is well worth the read, and keep this quote in mind as you do so.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
