First of all my fine young friend, I want to thank you for taking the time to read our blog. Each one of our readers is a beautiful and unique snowflake and you are no different Jessie. Even if you are from Missouri.
But you know who is not a snowflake? Kyle Farnsworth. Nope, he's an overpaid, overhyped bag of suck. On the bright side for Royals' fans is the fact that Farnsworth hasn't lost a game in ten days. Which is pretty good for him. However, his ERA has been steadily climbing and that's not such a good thing. Well, unless you're a fan of a rival AL Central team.
But to get to your question Jessie, you waggish little scamp, yes, we are tough on Farnsy. But did you ever think that maybe it's because we love him? I mean, we're always toughest on those we love, right? And to be fair, baseball would be a sad place without Kyle. Who would cry on camera when he finds out he's traded? Who would constantly underwhelm us yet still receive ungodly amounts of money from each subsequent team?
Are we unfair, though? Absolutely not. He's a public figure. I look at him like I do a politician. When a politician does something I don't like, I have the right to criticize his or her performance because I help pay their salary. That makes them accountable to me. And when I buy a ticket to a baseball game or a new hat, I'm helping to pay the salary of all these baseball players. Do you see where I'm going with this Jessie, my intrepid little friend? If I'm paying part of your salary, I've earned the right to critique your performance. And to be quite frank, I would be remiss if I didn't critique Mr. Farnsworth's ongoing recital.
So Jessie, you impish little rascal, thank you for your insightful question but I hope the response has helped you see the light. Here at RSBS we are often tough on people and issues but we are never unfair. Except for maybe with A-Rod but that's because he's a d----bag.
