The Kansas City Royals simply didn’t get it done in 2016 with a disappointing 81-81 finish. I know that .500 seemed like an impossible dream only five short years ago. However, I suppose I have become spoiled like every other KC fan over the last four seasons.
I no longer consider it a miracle that the Royals are no longer among the worst teams in baseball. Instead, I expect them to win. Hey, what can I say? Two pennants in a row plus a World Series title in 2015 is going to skew the expectations of the most generous fan base.
