02-18-2010 ROYALS ROLLING OUT LAME 1985 CAMPAIGN...AGAIN WHB host Soren Petro has pulled no punches in his blog post on the 810 site (2/18) regarding the Kansas City Royals and the team's latest marketing campaign. "The problem with this is the Royals have dragged out the ’85 team for the last fifteen years," says Petro. "Does anyone remember George Brett and Johnny Damon watching TV in their lounge chairs? I do. That is how long we’ve been watching the Royals try to spoon feed us this imaginary link to the glory days." Petro noted that he is tired of the Royals continuously harping about the 1985 World Series team to disguise that what might be likely be the worst team in the entire major leagues. "I’m not trying to rain on the fun of this anniversary," he says. "It should be a celebration of a great time in Royals history. But for me it has been polluted by the Royals organization constantly wrapping themselves in the blanket of 1985 in an effort to cover up their complete lack of ability to build a competitive ballclub."
