It’s hard to get excited about watching the Kansas City Royals right now, but they can’t remain this bad for the rest of the season, can they?

With trade rumors already circulating over Lorenzo Cain and Kelvin Herrera, the Royals could be taking themselves out of the running before any of us even know what’s happened.

This isn’t how Royals Nation saw this season going at all. Sure, not many of us expected the Royals to be World Series champions again (though it wasn’t completely farfetched before the season began), but no one expected the Royals to be THIS bad. Everything has been painful to watch and it hasn’t been fun at all.

While some might panic and think that the dark years are about to arrive again, I say calm down. Teams have bad years, it happens. The Royals are not going to be irrelevant for the next 29 years again. There’s just no way.

Also, be grateful for what this team gave you. We had two World Series appearances in back to back years and that rarely ever happens. To abandon the team now seems pretty low, but I guess those are the “new” Royals fans anyway.

Hopefully the Royals can win this upcoming series against the White Sox. They need to win games against their division and they need to do it soon.
