Ervin Santana To the Royals: A Good First Step That Reeks of Old Royals Futility

Via Off The Bench  |  November 01, 2012
Let me be clear: I do not trust Dayton Moore. He took over the Royals in 2006, since that time, the most wins they’ve ever had in a single season is 75. It semi-perplexes me that he still has a job.

I hope you can forgive a bit of rambling in this article, as a I am not even in high school yet. My humor revolves mostly around things like ASDFmovie, and Gangnam Style.
