There’s losing in baseball and then there’s the Kansas City Royals. As pointed out by Big League Stew, the Royals have lost over 500 games since the 2004 season. Yeah, losing is an art form here in KC, but I can’t recall the last time they lost because of a fowl ball.

Yeesh, I’m sorry for that one. Anyway, thanks to a flock of seagulls (and Joakim Soria’s blown save), the Royals lost yet another game last night — 23 of their last 30 — as the comedy of errors, one that started shortly after the Royals pushed their record to a respectable 18-11, continues to roll on. Unfortunately for Royals fans, it looks like it’s on an unabated roll. There’s already been a lot written about Kansas City’s misfortune against the Cleveland Seagulls, but I think Joe Posnanski said it best on Twitter:

Why not, indeed.
