I used to read Rob Neyer, before ESPN.com was a paysite, and while he served up plenty to disagree with he was always on point. That’s the mark of an excellent columnist. And I spent a very pleasant evening talking to Rany about baseball when he was writing the rookie roundup for the Fantasy Baseball Guide. Smart guys, both of them.
This farewell to Royals fandom of theirs (written during the Royals dismal run) is probably more emotion than sense, which is why it is well worth reading. I doubt they’ll really give up the Royals, but I’ve never before seen the two of them sounding more like fantasy basebll players.
