Cleveland Indians media guy thinks Kansas City’s water ‘tastes like ass’

The Cleveland Indians can certainly take credit for sending the Royals’ season into a tailspin by sweeping them at Kauffman. But winning with class? That’s a concept appearing to have escaped the Tribe. Bart Swain, director of media relations for the Indians, wasn’t content with winning on the field. He had to go and insult our water on his personal Twitter account.

Now, Kansas City isn’t the only municipality to claim that it has the nation’s finest drinking water, but we do have a few fountains in the area. So it’s fair to say we take our water quality seriously here. I’m drinking water from the tap as I write this, and in my five years in Kansas City, I’ve never had a hint of posterior in my cup. Perhaps I just don’t have as much familiarity with the “taste of ass” as Mr. Swain.
