Baby Steps

So the Royals might not finish in last place! From a team that has been bad - REALLY bad - for many years, this is great news. I've been a Royals fan since I was a kid, so I've cringed seeing them with 100+ loss seasons in recent years. Not only have they been in the basement of the AL Central, but of the majors. This year, they won't even have 90 losses, and there are several teams in the majors with worse records. It's exciting! If you're not a Royals fan, you may laugh at my exuberance over such a seemingly ridiculous feat. Granted, it's not on par with KU's national championship, but at least the Royals are finally heading in the right direction. The same cannot be said for the Chiefs, who are desperately trying to take over the coveted "Kansas City's Worst Professional Sports Team". It looks like they're finally going to take that title from the Royals.
