You're contorting yourself quite a bit to not have this silly argument - and I'm not trolling.

You being overly sensitive about a simple comment isn't me trolling.

I like the Royals, but guys like you make it hard to like Royals fans when you're this absurdly defensive about something very practical.

I also like Alex Gordon and thought the Cardinals might be going after him after Heyward signed with the Cubs, but felt the price KC paid was just too much.

It really isn't a big attack on all things Royals to say that, is it???

Please explain why this message is being reported.
