This year though it really could happen so the floodgates are really opening, they still aren't favored by the media, but I'm seeing at least 1/3 and maybe almost 1/2 of writers penciling them in for at least a wild card. So, we are being paid attention to, especially with our strong 2nd half last year and with Ace Ventura.
I don't recall anyone in the world predicting that the Royals would do anything in recent history until this year. Maybe one or two guys last year, but they certainly haven't been "perennial media darlings."
