Last night in the Yankees/Royals game, the Royals were leading the Yankees 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Royals brought in Kyle Farnsworth to protect the lead.
Yeah, they really did.
Everybody knew how this was going to end and Farnsworth as usual did not disappoint with his straight-as-an-arrow blazing fastball.
To add insult to injury for the Royals, Farnsworth is also signed through next year.*
I appreciate the disadvantages that the Royals have in playing in such a small market but it is REALLY REALLY hard to generate much sympathy for them here. As a GM in Kansas City, you have less room for error and must be that much SMARTER than the GMs of the larger market teams. You simply don't add the likes of Kyle Farnsworth to your roster on a multi-year deal.**
*I know that the guy can fight and all but like so what?
**Yeah, you can try and get him to quit by spraying shaving cream in his locker or something but he probably won't.

Farnsworth sucks, bad. Could not stand him when he was with the Tigers and still can't. Good riddance!
I was at the game when he made that tackle. I'll always have a little fondness for Farnsy for that and for destroying Sosa's boombox a couple of years back. But yeah, he sucks!
