LOL at all the Eeyore, sad-sap "i can't criticize the Royals" cry-baby posts. Post what you want and then be an adult about it. Just don't expect people to enjoy dead horses getting beat up over and over.
Furthermore would like just ONE example of a small market team that both won the world series and was able to stay competitive and re-stock their system consistently from year to year as well. I would love the Royals to break that code. But until its been done, I have a hard time holding them to a standard I've never actually witnessed. St. Louis might be the only example I can think of...but in fan-base, I would consider them medium to large market, despite their city's size.
And to play off someone else's point above, even if we considered the Cardinals small market, they were truly one of luckiest teams in baseball during their recent runs. Nelson Cruz plays like a semi-capable right fielder and Texas wins that world series...not the Cardinals. Texas was the better team that year.
