The Royals’ March towards Ultimate Futility™

Tuesday’s loss, a 4-3 nail-biter to the Seattle Mariners, prolonged the lowly Kansas City Royals epic losing streak to a near unprecedented 17 games. The Royals are still 4 games shy of the AL record of 21 consecutive losses set by the Oreos in 1988, but have a legitimate shot at history should they weather the storm of today’s game against the last place Mariners. Their next six games are against AL playoff contenders, starting Friday night with a three-game series in Oakland and continuing at home on Tuesday against the AL East leading Red Sox. By that point, we could all be witnessing a historic level of ineffectuality unseen in decades. Fingers crossed.

UPDATE: KC dropped another game to the Mariners, this time 11-5, improving their near-record losing streak to a near unfathomable 18 straight. Tune in tomorrow for more news on The Royals’ March towards Ultimate Futility™
