KC misses playoffs - 1 week into new season

Kansas City Royals Miss Playoffs Yet Again
For yet another year, Kansas City Royals fans will not get to see their favorite team in the playoffs. "At some point", said long time season ticket holder Hank Rearden, "ownership needs to make a change at the GM and Manager position. I'm not even sure I will be purchasing season tickets again next year." Currently sitting in third place in the American League Central Division with a record of 0-0, the Royals will clearly have to do better next year. It will be interesting to see if any management shakeups occur during the coming offseason.

Thought this was kind of early for a team to be eliminated from the playoffs. I guess the Fans don't have to worry about getting there expectations up for the rest of the season.

I can't stop laughing.

This one has been logged. Not sure if it's gonna be fixed for Monday though. Still, easily the funniest OOTP bug since the Curtis Borkholder fiasco.

This is obviously a bug. The Royals chances of making the playoffs usually drop to zero sometime in mid-February.

If I was a employee of the Royals organization and I found this thread I would probably slash my own wrists.
Even a video game is able to recognize that your organization sucks.

There is also a reference to the Royals actually having a season ticket holder. Better include that in the bug report.

It would've only been a bug if the plural was used.

All in good fun. If you are a long suffering fan of the Royals or Pirates then you are among the truest fans in all sports.

Imma let you finish, but the Borkholder thing was one of the best glitches of all time!

Kansas City Royals fan since 1969. Watch for them to be in the hunt this year.

OK, that's our one Borkholder mention this year.

The only hunt the Royals will be is The Hunt for a Dead October.

I'm surprised no one else has brought this up. I know the fictional player names are randomized but is the case the same for the names in story lines? Either the OOTP engine is channeling Ayn Rand or some developer is sneaking in Easter Eggs for fans of Atlas Shrugged.
