Color me skeptical. I think we've earned that right as Royals Fans.

When did Glass buy the Cardinals?

This.

He's a Cardinals Fan.

He's just happens to own a team in the American League. Business, you know.

To be fair to him, he did grow up when the Cardinals were essentially the only team in the area unless you want to count the St. Louis Browns.

To be closely followed by TJ surgery becuase we will run him out when he should be rested or on the DL.

20. Chicago White Sox $91,159,254
21. San Diego Padres $90,094,196
22. NY Mets $89,051,758

24. Minnesota Twins $85,776,500
25. Oakland A's $83,401,400
26. Cleveland Indians $82,534,800
27. Pittsburgh Pirates $78,111,667
28. Tampa Bay Rays $77,062,891
29. Miami Marlins $47,565,400
30. Houston Astros $44,544,174

Every single one of those teams with a lower payroll than the Royals have been to the post-season since David Glass became owner of the Royals.

Two have only been to the postseason Once in that time span -Pittsburgh (last year) and Miami (Winning the World Series in 2003).

All the others have been in the post-season on multiple occasions during The Glass family reign.

Two critical facts:
He has owned the team for over 20 years and the team has not made the playoff in his tenure. He has operated the club for profit over the course of his entire tenure.

Now, he is pushing 80. I don't think it is too far fetched to say that the intent this year was to win just enough to revitalize the interest in the club enough that he could ride the windfall into his grave or an inflated sale of the team.

Meanwhile, an entire generation (28 going on 29 years of fail) of the market has been disenfranchised leaving an aged and dwindling fan-base. The team will inevitably have to move upon the sale of the team simply because it has no fan-base to lose and it would be more profitable in a larger market. So the sun will set on the KC Royals, until the next round of MLB expansion. Good night, sweet Royal's fans. Our loyalty shall not be returned in the form of a championship, but will be sequestered unto the pockets of the Glass family. One final gasp to fill the Glass Family Coffers - and at the expense of thousands of tormented fans.

Keep doing what you're doing Royals.....and we will continue stealing your fanbase

Sporting the team whose stadium is the same size as Sprint Center.

And would barely sell out if the Royals played there.

Would be perfect time for a gif of Kenny Power shooting a soccer ball.

Royals Road Back To .500: Part X

My Road to seeing a Royals win live: Part VIII

Last year, my first game I saw in KC, Guthrie gave up like 7 runs and was out by the 4th inning. Hoping for a drastic improvement tonight.

And some runs, that'd be pretty cool.
