The Royals started out a nice story. In an offseason where few teams spent money, reporters and fans applauded the Royals for actually investing in a team that lost 106 games last year, even though they were probably also thinking the money was probably spent on a lost cause. But the team got off to a good start, then kept above .500 for much of the summer. Fans kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, but the Royals are still wearing both of their cleats, and stomping on opponents with them. The Royals have gone from “aww, isn’t it nice that this team isn’t god awful anymore” to “hey wait a minute, they might actually be legit good.
Why not us?
